Zead.....thestreet's the hot ticket at the moment and IOM ignores it at its peril. IOM can control the level and type of press access and set reasonable but firm media relations policy but IOM can't completely ignore the press. IOM's patented silence is a fighting posture to a journalist (no, I'm not defending the slithering classes). Most people and companies who want to succeed in the public arena learn early on that it doesn't pay to irk the guy who buys ink by the barrel. It's a shame but bad press can sink a career or even a company faster than a bad quarter or two. IOM needs to take a look at what it's doing vis a vis the press and decide if it can do something better.

FWIW.....I'm not a street subscriber or supporter. Cramer's relentless self promotion turns me off hugely. With any luck, he'll end up (along with his stable of Sparky shills), in Garzarelliville, someday soon.

Zead,

I subscribe to TheStreet.com and was very disappointed to see Greenberg added to the offerings. In all of the Greenberg articles I read in the SF Chronicle I always felt that I was reading a gossip columnist, not a serious financial journalist. He is Iomega's Ken Starr.
