"This is the only way for a cable host on MSNBC to have any chance of being a contender "I think it's pretty incredible, if in fact it's true," she said "We had six months The legendary talk show host noted that "Donahue's" ratings were better than anything else in struggling MSNBC's prime-time lineup allyourtv Gollust said the network wouldn't comment on an internal report anyway Phil Donahue Strikes Back at MSNBC Feb 26, 4:44 PM EST Phil Donahue struck back at MSNBC on Wednesday for his firing, suggesting the network was too quick to pull the trigger and that it might be trying to "out-fox Fox" with conservative voices Donahue's political talk show, a distant third in the cable news ratings in his time slot, was abruptly pulled from the air after Monday's show "It took almost three years for Fox (News Channel) to overtake CNN," Donahue said in a statement Wednesday " Marlaine Selip, executive producer of "Donahue," said she was unaware of any such report " MSNBC spokesman Alan Winikoff wouldn't comment on Donahue's assertions Donahue, a liberal who stumped for Ralph Nader's presidential candidacy in 2000, said he had been hoping "to break through the noisy drums of war on cable" and become a responsible platform for both sides of the issue m " "My wish for the people who replace us is a longer time in the ring and a more patient management team loudly cheering on from the corner," he said Meanwhile, the Web site www " The report allegedly said Donahue presented a difficult face for NBC at a time of war, saying a nightmare scenario would be one in which his show becomes "a home for the liberal anti-war agenda at the same time our competitors are waving the flag at every opportunity The show premiered last July 15 com posted a commentary on Wednesday by Rick Ellis saying that he had been leaked an internal NBC study that described Donahue as "a tired, left-wing liberal out of touch with the current marketplace "Phil has a right to issue a statement and we respect that," he said " EST was six times larger than that for "Donahue "Donahue," which is presenting reruns until the end of the week, will be replaced by an expanded version of MSNBC's war preparation news show "Countdown: Iraq This suggests "a strategy to out-fox Fox," he said " According to Nielsen Media Research, the audience for Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" at 8 p Winikoff and Allison Gollust, spokeswoman for NBC News president Neal Shapiro, said they weren't aware that any such study existed He noted that the network recently hired conservative commentator Mike Savage as host of a weekend show, and retired GOP politicians Dick Armey and Joe Scarborough as contributors In a Wired magazine editorial in September titled "PowerPoint Is Evil," Tufte compared PowerPoint presentations to a school play: "very loud, very slow, and very simple The 20-minute DVD, encased in the navy blue hardback cover, features the same abstractions in motion " Peter Norvig, 46, engineering director at Google Inc But the overall tone of this compilation is somewhat like a sales pitch â€â€? whimsical and upbeat The book includes mostly lucid musings on how PowerPoint has ushered in "the end of reason," with pictures of bar charts gone hideously astray, fields of curved arrows that point at nothing, disturbing close-ups of wax hands and eyebrows, and a photo of Dolly the cloned sheep enclosed by punctuation brackets Who knows He believes PowerPoint's emphasis on format over content commercializes and trivializes subjects "Byrne thinks it's funny that this tool exists, and he wants to play with it He decided to experiment with PowerPoint as an artistic medium â€â€? and ponder whether it shapes how we talk and think " The 96-page compilation, which debuted in September for $80, is best described as a coffee table book for nerds " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Tufte's site: http://www " But by fixating on PowerPoint, Byrne â€â€? idolized by millions as a rock star for intellectuals â€â€? has stoked a fierce debate I learned it in a few hours, and that's the idea The spoof, which by Norvig's estimate has been viewed by at least 500,000 people, includes bullet points such as "unfinished work (great tasks)," "new birth of freedom" and "government not perish In his book and DVD compilation, "Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information," Byrne twists PowerPoint from a marketing tool into a multimedia canvas, pontificating that the software's charts, graphs, bullet points and arrows have changed communication styles " Norvig, who recently ordered a copy of Byrne's compilation for himself, said Byrne is wading in treacherous waters "My belief is that PowerPoint doesn't kill meetings Jimmy Guterman, 41, a writer whose Boston-area office includes posters of Tufte and Byrne, said he feels like the child of divorce " Edward R Byrne, 51, who was born in Scotland but has spent most of his adulthood in New York, said the compilation wasn't meant as a "serious statement about anything Foes say PowerPoint's ubiquity perverts everything from elementary school reports to NASA's scientific theses into sales pitches with bullet points and stock art microsoft "It communicates within certain limited parameters really well and very easily People kill meetings com/powerpoint "People are asking whether, ultimately, PowerPoint makes us all stupid, or does it help us streamline our thoughts?" said Norvig, who first saw Talking Heads in the late '70s 's popular "slideware" â€â€? which makes it easy to incorporate animated graphics and other entertainment into presentations â€â€? lulls people into accepting pablum over ideas norvig Tufte is going for the jugular "Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for," Byrne said in a phone interview " The gulf between Byrne's and Tufte's outlooks troubles fans " Cerf, now an MCI executive and chairman of the Internet's key oversight body, doesn't shun PowerPoint completely, but said avoiding it "actually improves communication because people have to listen rather than being distracted by fancy PowerPoint charts " Byrne, a Tufte admirer who attended the Rhode Island School of Design, writes that PowerPoint's "subtle sets of biases" indoctrinate users to speak â€â€? and think â€â€? simply , is generally credited with creating the first PowerPoint parody in 1999, when he published an online slideshow of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address Byrne wrote most of the music com Microsoft's PowerPoint site: http://office But using PowerPoint is like having a loaded AK-47 on the table: You can do very bad things with it Visual artists say Microsoft Corp But they both in different ways understand that PowerPoint is a broken tool "PowerPoint may not be of any use for you in a presentation, but it may liberate you in another way, an artistic way com Norvig's site: http://www Best known for vocals in "Psycho Killer" and "Burning Down the House," Byrne originally intended to spoof the ubiquitous software as a dumbed-down form of expression between communication-addled business executives "I just got carried away and started making stuff," Byrne said " Microsoft spokesman Simon Marks wouldn't comment on whether PowerPoint has debased society but said in an e-mail, "PowerPoint continues to evolve to make it easier for customers to present their information in the style that best suits the content and the audience One of the Internet's inventors, Vint Cerf, gets laughs from audiences by quipping, "Power corrupts and PowerPoint corrupts absolutely The genius of it is that it was designed for any idiot to use Byrne is unapologetic about liking PowerPoint "Quite frankly, I have to side with Tufte on this one," Guterman said The initial printing run of 1,500 copies sold out by mid-December Ex-Talking Head Makes PowerPoint Art Dec 27, 2:31 PM EST David Byrne, an accomplished composer, photographer and lead singer of Talking Heads, has evolved â€â€? some would say devolved â€â€? into an unlikely artistic medium: PowerPoint Tufte, a Yale University professor and author of graphic design book "Envisioning Information," is perhaps the most vocal PowerPoint hater But after spending several hours designing a mock slide show, Byrne became intrigued edwardtufte |
