Well, that's it from us for 2010. If you want to read about our favorite books, music, movies, TV, rumors, feuds, scandals, and stories, this is the place to do it. We'll be back tomorrow—Happy New Year, everyone!

In your glacial Thursday media column: ESPN plagiarism mini-scandal, Forbes.com proves that bloggers are not so smart about economics, Wired vs. Glenn Greenwald, and Judith Miller schadenfreude alert.

When the media becomes the news, everyone is entertained. Media scandals are the best scandals of all, for their enjoyable mix of forced professionalism and palpable discomfort. Come; let us look back at the year's ten best.
