Does Barry Diller really believe what he is saying?

Recently I wrote a blog post about the position that Barry Diller was taking with regards to the idea that people would pay for online content and a statement he made at a conference about that.  In looking at the new @katiecouric page to see how they were approaching the idea of online video content.  What I find so amazing is that, if I am not mistaken, I am watching this interview by a “journalist” via a free online video site just launched by that journalist.  Is there something odd in saying that people should pay for quality content inside of a medium that, from all I can tell, is just pushing on the idea of free online content with advertising as its only revenue stream?  Am I mistaken?  Watch below and let me know…
