Big traditional TV/media stocks took it on the chin on Friday -- somewhat worse than the market overall. But digital media companies went even lower.

Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google -- took steep hits.
Facebook lost 5.8% to $104.07, while Amazon gave back 6.4% to $502.13 and Netflix was down 7.7% to $82.79. Google, somewhat the best
of the worst, dropped 3.5% to $683.55.
Twitter also got battered, down 7% to $15.72. LinkedIn had one of the biggest declines, crushed 44% to $108.38.
By contrast, traditional media
looked fairly good, although still down versus general market indices.
