I’ve never liked Forbes magazine that much; their general worshipfulness about business seems both less useful and less entertaining than some of the other magazines. Recently, someone who claims to be the producer for the “Forbes Radio” channel on American Airlines is spamming me several times a month, offering a three-minute puff piece for $4,995, a special discount from $11,990 for anyone lame enough to answer spam. Would Forbes be lending its name to this sort of pathetic silliness if it weren’t hurting?
