Tom Freston's an asshole

Tom Freston was roasted by his big media friends and even the man who took his job. But it was all in good fun.....we think. "How bad it must feel for Tom to be screwed over by a man so old that he needed a little blue pill to do it," said News Corp. president Peter Chernin to a big laugh "I don't think there's anyone in this room today who feels Viacom treated Tom fairly. And I think everyone here knows Tom's continued success will haunt Viacom for years to come - but enough about Tom Cruise. We're here to talk about Tom Freston - and Tom Freston is an [bleep]hole." "While you were all at Michael's yesterday, I was creating content," Freston said. "I could go on forever, but if I don't get going, I'll never get a seat at Starbucks," he cracked. "It gets crazy busy." That's some funny shit. [NYP]
