Here is Jon Friedman’s “MEDIA WEB QUESTION OF THE DAY:”

What do you think is the relationship between politics and journalism — and sex?

“– and sex?” This isn’t exactly like your friend who, when reading aloud the fortune from his fortune cookie, insists on adding “in bed” to the end of it, just for fun. Because Friedman is keying off his column on how The Nation launching a sex column is “all about business sense, not titillation,” which, after you read, you can then watch Friedman summarize in his “Media Web Minute” (i.e., Having Video For Video’s Sake, a development in online journalism which we hope to explore in depth in the not-too-distant future).
