uktodaynews.com = more fluff.

I'm doing a couple of cut and pastes about mediaite without the location only because you need to learn to look things up for yourself.

"Mediaite is an online news, commentary and blog hub created by Dan Abrams, formerly an MSNBC legal analyst

A unique feature of Mediaite is the site's “Power Grid,” which purports to objectively rank media professionals in different categories (such as "TV,"<2> "Online,"<3> and "Print"<4> ) based on their "real-time relevance." The Power Grid rankings come from "metrics," including print circulation and number of Twitter followers.<5> A Washington Post column reviewing Mediaite explained the ranking system as, “The rankings are not a journalistic assessment, but rely heavily on online buzzThe TV hosts and anchors are graded on their number of viewers, Google hits and Twitter followers.”<2>

If you find the source for this you will see that FOX (not a reliable source) is on their board and that mediaite is in fact a company that was "founded to link corporate representatives to journalists and other media experts." Think about that a little bit.

There are other reliable sources but I'm choosing not to give them away with via cut and paste. You need to find them for yourselves.
