For somebody who has a personal net worth of nearly $6.6 billion, the majority derived from his work as an “Internet strategist”, Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt certainly has a low opinion of the medium that has made him a billionaire. In a recent article at Advertising age, Mr. Schmidt calls the internet a “cesspool” yet fails to acknowledge that his company has any responsibility for the rapid degredation of the internet.
The internet is fast becoming a “cesspool” where false information thrives, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said yesterday. Speaking with an audience of magazine executives visiting the Google campus here as part of their annual industry conference, he said their brands were increasingly important signals that content can be trusted.

Schmidt also says that "branded" sites such as the ones owned by magazines and corporations have more relevance that other sites.
