NEW YORK ¨C It¡¯s that time of the year again: Sheryl Sandberg is telling us how to live our lives.
Invariably promoted as launching a ¡°movement¡± ¡ª as opposed to shilling books ¡ª the Facebook executive¡¯s publicity blitzes are impossible to avoid. There¡¯s the inevitable, inevitably self-involved New York Times op-ed. (The words ¡°I,¡± ¡°me¡± and ¡°my¡± appear 15 times in the first 143 words.) She¡¯s in Time and Fortune and USA Today and The Washington Post and HuffPo, which tells us ¡°Why Sheryl Sandberg Decided To Speak Openly About Losing Her Husband¡± (uh, to sell books?).
As far as I can tell, the only media outlet not to be shilling Sandberg¡¯s pabulum is Islamic State¡¯s online magazine, proving that terrorists aren¡¯t all bad.
