1938 Media And c|net Announcement
June 6, 2008 – 3:30 pmYeah, I know it’s crazy. Live in a few weeks.
UPDATE: To reiterate what I say on the video for the apparent dopes out there.
We were not acquired by cnet.
I will be writing a column there and 1938 Media will produce 1 video a week for them.
1938 Media is free to continue to work with other companies.

What about the rumor that nobody ever issued any rumor about this news ?
Anyways, thanks for the info… I’ll be glad to read and see your stuff there too.

hot damn loren! finally some income from all this effort?
By Tiga Beck on Jun 6, 2008
But are you still going to be able to say fuck and stuff like that?
By Mathew Ingram on Jun 6, 2008
That’s huge news! Congrat’s, Loren. You’re entertaining a lot of people and working hard; much deserved success.
One question…will there be a Dan Farber puppet?
Follow up…will the puppet know Kung Fu, and if so, will it challenge Jason Calacanis?
This is exciting stuff.

When do you start passing out the Shirts, the Free Flash Drives?? You have to take care of the crew..Or is it just you??
By Uplink on Jun 6, 2008
You should be proud, Loren. You’re a pimp.
less fail more win.
By Dick on Jun 6, 2008
That’s fantastic! Way to go Dan Farber for having the foresight. Hope it goes well for you Loren.
…is that the real Chartreuse? If it is, when are you guys hooking your stuff up and making a show?
By AndrewE on Jun 6, 2008
Freakin’ congrats, man. You’re the real deal and c|net has a pro journo in you to work with.
By Frank on Jun 6, 2008
CBS late night show is next! congrats Loren well deserved.
Great validation from Dan “The Blogfather” Farber
By John Furrier on Jun 6, 2008
Thank you John. You got my act long before a lot of other people. Thanks.
By Loren Feldman on Jun 6, 2008
Congrats Loren. I’m a big fan.
By Kevin Cuneo on Jun 6, 2008
What in the holy hell is c|net?
By Sam Donaldson on Jun 6, 2008
Loren, you can barely keep a straight face. You look happy
I guess I should say congrats, too
By anty on Jun 6, 2008
Good work, m’man. Good work.
By Phil Gomes on Jun 6, 2008
don’t get fired this time
By AlK on Jun 6, 2008
Congrats buddy, look forward to it.
By sean percival on Jun 6, 2008
So is Arrington disgusted with you about this? He doesn’t seem to be a fan of c|net and was trying to organize the blog world to overthrow them recently wasn’t he?
By Tim on Jun 6, 2008
Great. C/Net hires people that routinely post racist commentary. Noted.
By pete puma on Jun 6, 2008
Huge congratulations, Loren- this is damn wonderful news!
[It's also pretty evident that Dan Farber is forward-thinking and, well, gutsy.]
I’m really looking forward to what you’ll do with this greenlight and have no doubt you’ll rock it. Bravo!
By MsInformation on Jun 6, 2008
Well done and well deserved Loren! This is a real accomplishment and a great publication to be working with.
Now please get some sleep, it seems the Valley habit of not getting any has caught on to you.
By David Marcus on Jun 6, 2008
Your MY bitch now Feldman!
By Sumner Redstone on Jun 6, 2008
Nice. Well done Loren. Now don’t go fucking up this time. (Yeah… I’m guessing C|Net is not eager to endorse the ‘N’ word. hehehe.)
You’re a legend. A putz, but a legend.
*(This shit makes you laugh right? You know I’m always just kidding right? I had an hallucination of you crying in the dark… I didn’t like it, thought it prudent to include this disclaimer with my trollish swill this time.)*
By Matt on Jun 6, 2008
And Farber continues to suck the air out of the room for Arrington and Co. Don’t think you’ll be getting to stay at Techcrunch Manor anymore.
By Jimmy Dell on Jun 6, 2008
Congrats Loren! Now I guess TechCrunch-TV is out of the question, right?
By chris banach on Jun 6, 2008
Well earned.
And very cool to see play out from my angle.
By Dave Johnston on Jun 6, 2008
I will be writing there and will do one video a week for them. It is a non-exclusive production deal if you will. 1938 Media is still an independent production house free to work with whomever we like. Thanks for all the support.
By Loren Feldman on Jun 6, 2008
Congratulations Loren!
By Douglas Karr on Jun 6, 2008
wow.
well, you’ll no longer be staying at my place when you’re out here in silicon valley.
By michael arrington on Jun 6, 2008
Yes I am Mike.
By Loren Feldman on Jun 6, 2008

By Rocky Barbanica on Jun 6, 2008

By Robert Scoble on Jun 6, 2008
Protect ya Neck.

By Wu Tang on Jun 6, 2008
Congrats Loren!!!
By Cyan on Jun 7, 2008
Any former Scout owner is a friend of mine even if he did ‘throw away the roof’. congrats, looking forward to the show…
By oliver marks on Jun 7, 2008
Awesome! Can’t wait to read what you write.

By Jim McNelis on Jun 7, 2008
Great news Loren! - Looking forward to checking out your new CNet-tized content!
By Jeff Glasson on Jun 7, 2008
Congrats!
By Dominic on Jun 7, 2008
Congratulations Loren.
By Alex Hammer on Jun 7, 2008
Congrats, Loren.
To me, you’re the politically incorrect Don Rickles of the web, with more substance, and more bite.
By Vince Williams on Jun 7, 2008
Way to go, bro. The bar tab is on you next time (or was it last time… I forget).
By Brian Clark on Jun 7, 2008
Nice job, pal. You chased it down and got it. (In a matter of speaking.) I knew you would eventually. Congrats.
By Art Lindsey III on Jun 7, 2008
Congrats Lauren and thanks for blocking me on Twitter….dickhead!
Now, come on, who did you sleep with to get this job?
Aronado
By Aronado on Jun 7, 2008
Now that you own CNN, does this mean you get to sit in for Larry King? “Tonight. Is Julia Allison an alien from the planet Playtex or just another bimbo with a big head and the ability to levitate heavy objects with her mind? Stay tuned.”
By DJ on Jun 7, 2008
Everything You Wanted to Know About 1938Media But Were Afraid to Ask:
1. Why 1938? Where did that number come from?
2. How much does Lauren charge to do one of these videos he keeps telling people he’s available to do?
By gregg dourgarian on Jun 8, 2008
@gregg dourgarian:
1. Hell with a big H broke out in 1938.
2. Never discuss money outside a deal. It lacks class and professionalism.
By AndrewE on Jun 8, 2008
Who the F in their right mind would even think you could acquire CNET? LOLLL
By Jas on Jun 8, 2008
Rock on Loren - but then I always knew…
By Dennis Howlett on Jun 8, 2008
Dude! I miss the Puppets!
Life is a Bore! Entertain us.
By Igor The Troll on Jun 9, 2008
Hey, why don’t you update on Utterz anymore?
Will you be use the puppets on CNET? That should be negotiated separately.
Good Luck
By Michelle McCormack on Jun 9, 2008
