Writing about Nikki Finke’s passing may be the hardest thing I have to do this year. She was smart, incredibly hard working, and relentless. She had no ethics, no perspective, and only a passing interest in the truth. Most of what you know about Nikki (almost all of you, at least) is mythology.
Do you think Friedman learned his dirty tricks from Finke? Or was he just "following orders" from Finke to character assassinate you on her behalf? (I'm definitely late to the game on this, forgive me. Crazy what he accused you of back then.)
Thanks for writing this Poland. Nikki was truly the most vile human I've ever dealt with in our profession. In the final analysis, she was never a journalist.
THB #233: Nikki Finke is Dead
As someone who received Nikki's graciousness I find this piece vile

It's interesting... I've gotten dozens of replies... only 2 have turned up here... not sure if there is a trick to this...
Just sad… a sad person, a sad story, already forgotten.
