Idle Chatter: DailyKos Boycott, Zagat Sale, etc.

-Some pro-Hillary Clinton writers on DailyKos.com are boycotting the site, saying the attacks against their candidate are too much to put up with. [DailyKos]

-Four minutes after Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared on CNBC in what was repeatedly touted as an "exclusive" get, the California governor turned up on Fox Business. [TV Newser]

-Here's the latest on the sale of Zagat Survey. The owners, Tim and Nina Zagat, are said to be seeking an eye-popping 20 times Ebitda for the restaurant-guide company. [The Deal]

-Steven Spielberg has already made up his mind to pack up Dreamworks and move it over from Paramount to Universal, at least "according to sources." [NYP]

-This is the New York Post's skewed idea of privacy: After reporting, apparently against his will, that Paul Newman is being treated for cancer, the paper adds that the actor is seeing "an Upper East Side oncologist whose confidentiality we are protecting." [P6]. □
