Jim Romenesko—and just about every media site possible — linked to a story by the Philadelphia Daily News’ Dan Gross that says his paper’s parent company has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Tina Brown and Barry Diller’s nearly 200-hour-old Web site The Daily Beast, claiming that its logo is "potentially trademark-infringing" with that of the Daily News.
Mr. Gross quotes the letter (which an unnamed spokesperson for The Daily Beast says was not received) as saying the logo is: "virtually identical in shape, color, font and style to our own Daily News logo."
Apparently there’s a serious risk that "our readers could easily be duped into thinking that your Web site is somehow affiliated" with the paper.
That seems unlikely because of—to quote Ms. Brown’s already famous launch-day Q&A —"Sensibility, darling."

The Daily Beast ran a post today, Foodies Make Me Sick , that takes some digs on foodies, the "fussy eaters who glorify the transformation of nutrition into fashion. Foodie culture. Foodie bloggers." Some of it is well-reasoned, some a little ranty:
I remember the first time I heard a co-worker refer to himself as a foodie. It immediately irritated me. Was he implying that he appreciated food more than other people? That his love of eating was somehow more evolved than mine? Don’t all peop... more

Steve Schmidt, a senior advisor for John McCain, attacked The New York Times today. He said, among other things, that the Times is “an organization that is completely, totally 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate, which is their prerogative to be.” And that “whatever the New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization.”
All rather typical stuff from Camp McCain. Michael Calderone reached out to Bill Keller, and, in a sober r... more
