'Trust Me...I'm Lying' [thanks Simplifilm.com] is a video about a book of RYAN HOLIDAY's and HERE. I saw this video trailer of his book and info this morning on SU and then YOUTUBE. It was really interesting to me...do you know that reporters, who make let's say $60,000. a year...need to get 1.8 million pageviews  a year to 'earn their keep' from those folks who need and pay those same reporters. WOW...that's alot. [as you can see, I do this blog only for the LOVE of music, which is worth it all. SMILE] 
Well, RYAN HOLIDAY helps musicians and news folks to understand how to increase their pageviews...and, that means..making more money. He has really researched this stuff, and taken a real good look at online news.
Holliday decuses the problems and/or value of using emotions. Well, This hopefully is a better way of saying this O.K?...  read this EXAMPLE: I found it intersting that the more EMOTIONAL a story is...really influences the pageviews and the stories that get printed or online...meaning that the news that get online is well,..the more emotional a story, are those that make more money for the writer, leaving other importand but not as emotional news unreported. How do we know what is real news or exagerated for profits, anyway?
In this video interviewing Ryan Holiday from MEDIA MAYHEM [thanks TheLipTV], brings up many  very interesting ideas, some about using and even creating rumors. Being responsible with what is posted. Marketing, advertizing, money and integrety.
