Mel is oldschool and if Mel has half a brain, he has hired people around him to call the shots and keep the company relevant. That said, I don't think he has done that great of a job at that (because they are very slow to react).
Being smarter than a dinosaur isn't all that hard to do, nor is it something to brag about. You think Mel Karmazin thought the company should increase it's facebook/twitter presence? You think he knew the ins and outs of iPhone apps? Someone is smarter than Mel. Not everything that company does is a direct result of Mel Karmazin's smarts.
I understand that you are a fan of these "Gods of Radio" but to think that they are not fallible, like the rest of us humans, is a dangerous place to live. Mel COULD be wrong.
