Marissa Mayer, Temptress of Google
It was a shocking clash of old and new media culture at a San Francisco Web summit, and Business Insider captured it on video: The editor of the Wall Street Journal calling a Google executive a media pimp.
"Marissa unintentionally encourages promiscuity," managing editor Robert Thomson said. Uh, really? Yes! Since the font used to attribute quotes on this Google News page is too small for Thomson's taste, search chief Mayer is encouraging "digital disloyalty" among readers who are the actual legal property of the Wall Street Journal.
"Why isn't the font size bigger?" Thomson demands. Seriously, Marissa. What do you know about designing websites in comparison to the leering, name-calling newspaper lackey of digital media genius Rupert Murdoch?
