Larry King’s Media Orchard Takes

Since ESPN occasionally guesses what Larry King would write as one of their sportswriters, we wondered what he’d write for the Orchard. In lieu of pay, we proudly offer Media Orchard branded suspenders. Very sassy. (And Larry, if you’re interested, have your people email our people.)

Call me crazy, but this internet thing might actually take off... Print it: John Wayne wouldn’t have a blog... It may be me, but I think Richard Burkle knew he was being taped….. Anybody else think Wonkette is one hot masthead?.….. Forget Paris, Courtney Love would make a great Lucy Ewing in the new Dallas movie.…..Mark my words: actual links on websites will be the next big thing…… Take it to the bank: Kevin Federline will be ok…… You heard it here first: if gas prices hit $11 a gallon, oil companies may have to get out in front of this…… Charlie Sheen is a lock for father of the year…… Why don’t the Amish do more PR?…… This just in: Rellatio is real…. We’ve seen the end of Tom Cruise in the papers…… I’m not seeing as many Viagra ads on daytime TV like I used to.….. GOOD NIGHT, DALLAS!

FBI wiretaps – Good For PR?

First Richard Burkle lets the FBI have their recording party. Now comes word via Breitbart that the NY Post has cooperated with the on-going investigation involving Gov. George Pataki, his wife and others by turning over their taped conversations. Of course, lest we judge, our pledge of quality here at the Orchard is simple: every celebrity is always innocent until proven guilty. Even pseudo celebrities:

Among other things, the recorded conversations featured discussions, often in blunt and graphic terms, about patronage hiring by the Pataki administration. In one conversation, the governor’s wife, Libby Pataki complained about the lack of publicity she was receiving.

Hmmm. Maybe to get that Q Score bump she needs to be caught on videotape doing crack and arranging to buy drugs from an undercover agent?

Selfish Giving Blog Asks For Feedback On Campaign Action Items

Joe, who is the Director of Cause & Event Marketing at Boston Medical Center and writes the excellent Selfish Giving blog, wrote me an e-mail asking for feedback on the action items listed on his post about the Boston Medical Center South End Shop Walk, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6 and aims to raise money for Women’s Health programs at BMC.

Rather than just give him my thoughts, I thought I’d pass along his request to all of Media Orchard’s readers. I know that many of the readers are PR, marketing and other experienced professionals who would be able to give their expert feedback and advice.

So what do you say, can you help Joe out?
