30 Rock

If you've been watching 30 Rock this season, you might be familiar with Kabletown, the fictional media company that is in the process of purchasing NBC on the show. If you've been paying attention to media news recently, you might be familiar with Comcast, the real media company that is in the process of purchasing NBC in real life. Art imitates life! Even when life is in a Brave New World state controlled by media monopolies! In an added twist, NBC has launched a Kabletown website that contains some jokes that are so over-the-top they would be hilarious, if they weren't describing a dismal media future that is all too imminent for NBC/Comcast. Looks like a fake website is covering a real merger in a more effective way than most news outlets. Thanks, Tina Fey?

It's like The View, but we don't have free copies of The Blind Side on DVD to give away. And even if we did, we probably wouldn't distribute them.

Welcome back to another episode of Bitch Popaganda! Tune in as Kjerstin, Shaamini, and Kelsey discuss the ins and outs (zing!) of Fucking While Feminist, the (Re)Birth of Venus Zine, and Liz Lemon vs. Leslie Knope. Plus: Bitch Faves!



You can listen to the podcast right here, or you can subscribe to Bitch Media on iTunes to download it and listen on the go. (The episode is also available at archive.org.) Faves and links after the jump!

Can we talk about the food thing? It wasn't particularly cute when Aaron Sorkin made Republican blonde Ainsley Hayes' thing her prodigious appetite, and it's sort of unsettling how Liz's unhealthy and emotional relationship with food is played as hysterical now.
