Making friends at Digital Hollywood?

Some interesting people saying interesting things at Digital Hollywood this week, but Tim Sparke of MercuryMedia / Joining the dots .tv clearly doesn't mind if he upsets both his colleagues in media and the powers that be in global government.

True or not but it's a bold statement to say
'Big media has failed us over the last five years. People are dumb to trust big media, like they are dumb to trust big govenments'.

Perhaps we should add the general public to the list of people he might upset?
