Sam Zell misinformed about Google

April 7, 2007 By

Sam Zell is misinformed about Google and other things. Why should we care? Well, he’s a billionaire who owns lots of newspapers. With guys like this in charge I sure can understand why newspapers are in business troubles.

Jason Calacanis nailed it. And the Washington Post should do better fact checking.

    I’m with LayZ. Tech freaks have an orgasm anytime someone can be mocked for cluelessness. I have a mind to buy the entire Internet and dump it in the ocean.

    Thanks for reading, Christopher.

    @24 “LayZ: ahh, so we should let billionaires run their mouths off, even if they aren’t very accurate? Got it. Glad to know you think the wealthy should run society and the rest of us should shut the heck up. Got it.”

    Well, that’s not what I said, but thanks for misinterpreting. My point is, when it comes to business decisions, I’ll go with a proven commodity over an unproven one. You and Calacinis get back to me when you make your first billion.

    @27. Thanks, Mr. Walker. Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s gotta be a reason people like Gates, Buffet, Redstone, Geffen, Diller, and the like get invited to the Allen & Co Sun Valley Conference and tech geek “a list” bloggers don’t, right?

    Content is not king. Content indexes are king. People don’t want content; they want good content–and that is not the Tribune the LA Times, or the CW on KTLA.
