The Five Best Media Feuds of 2014
Posted in: UncategorizedThe way I see it, the platonic ideal of a great media feud involves two or more famous parties behaving badly, then using media (especially social media) as a cudgel while simultaneously capturing the imagination of the mainstream media — in the process causing all of us to endlessly obsess and take sides. For a while, it seemed like the North Korea vs. Sony battle fit the bill, but terroristic threats, backed up by some chillingly effective hacking, have a way of draining all the fun out of even the most cartoonish duel.
Even with that increasingly grim dust-up out of the mix, though, there’s still plenty among our Five Best Media Feuds of 2014 list to keep you entertained — at least while you’re waiting for the world premiere of Sony’s “The Interview” on BitTorrent.
