No. Dick Parsons will not, and cannot fix your fucking cable, AOL or mail you your missing issues of Time magazine

-SDH Time Warner CEO Dick Parsons is just your cliché media mogul who likes to do cliché media mogul things, well kinda. The big man in the corner office at the Time Warner Center likes to kick back, smoke a stogie, sip a glass of wine and say fuck the world, just for a bit. Dick spills the beans for New York Magazine, on how and why Rupert Murdoch is Rupert Murdoch and that his biggest pain in the ass is Time Warner's stock price. Oh yeah and if you think its cool to be the man in charge of the biggest media company in the world, flying on the company jet to your vineyard, then you're mistaking. Hello!! It’s different for, say, Rupert Murdoch. Even as Parsons is pressured to get rid of the influential, but financially undynamic, Time Inc. magazines, the News Corp. chairman got to pursue his $5 billion personal quest to own The Wall Street Journal. “Rupert has an advantage in that he has a large, publicly traded company but he’s in a controlling position,” Parsons says. “He can indulge thinking long term. If almost anybody else did it, they’d get killed. Everybody’d be saying, ‘Why are you buying a newspaper? Where’s the growth?’ ” Mogul Dick Parsons Likes Cigars, Believes in Terroir [NYM]
