Cable News

Static

NY Mayor Mike Bloomberg summarily rejected by Obama and McCain. Mike's ego desperately desired to grab the spotlight by claiming center stage in an ABC News debate between the two candidates. Both sniffed "nyet". "Rivals Give Mike A NY Nix" NYP NYDNABC News Martin Bashir caught his brain tumor in time after hitting his head on a "Nightline" set hanging light. NYP"I have no journalistic training... Over time, I've become more like a traditional journalist," I'm now much more skeptical and much more distanced."

Howard Kurtz Wash PostRepublicans and YouTube orchestrate a contest to send an amateur photog to the Repub convention in Minnesota.

Cable TV: Fools Rush In
2008-06-06 12:13:00
Update: NBC's Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" just had her standup in front of Hillary's house interrupted by a garbage truck's trash compactor. Garbage in, garbage out...Did you witness the absurd heights of Tee Vee news mouth-foaming last night as the media locusts swarmed around Hillary Clinton's multimillion dollar DC digs believing Barack Obama was inside? CNN's Anderson Cooper covered the stake out with endless speculation from guest talking heads about 1) What does it mean if he walks out alone? 2) Shouldn't they exit the house and wave? 3) Why is Obama there? 4) Is Bill Clinton inside? 5) What does it all MEAN? 6) What are they talking about? 7) Is he offering her the VP slot? We're talking 10 p.m. and CNN kept using a shot of Hill's pad in daylight while veteran political reporter Candy Crowley decamped in the night shadows. CNN's hour of speculation was the cable Tee Vee version of Jerry Seinfeld's "show about nothing." O, the absurdity of it all. It wa...
CNN Cops Tuesday's Primary Ratings Crown
2008-06-05 14:56:00
Lisa de Moraes Wash Post: CNN clocked more than 3.5 million viewers in prime time. That's a 34 percent lead over MSNBC's more than 2.5 million viewers. It's also a 47 percent advantage over Fox News Channel's prime-time crowd of 2.4 million viewers.Yes, it appears MSNBC edged out FNC in prime time Tuesday. "Many journalists despise TV news. They hate watching it, they hate producing it, and, given the opportunity, they turn it off and ignore it." California professor Tee Vee news students' cable TV smackdown: "...the titillation - fear-mongering crime reports, salacious coverage of the entertainment industries, reporters and anchor people glammed up to look like models. And when TV reports covered more serious issues, including politics, they result as little more than propaganda - talking points served up from two sides, with no analysis testing the claims, beyond petty insults. The broadcast majors among them expressed their revulsion at moving into an industry where "good te...

Size Matters
2008-05-27 16:32:00
Politico's John Harris Do as I say. Not as I do in "How Small Stories Become Big News"It would be a big story if Clinton said something like this: ?Hey, I know it looks bad for me now But, think about it. Obama could get shot and I?d get to be the nominee after all.? But Clinton?s clumsiness does not excuse news media clumsiness in making a minor story seem like a major one. A note on the randomness of the news: If this really was a big story, then the media has blown it for months. Clinton made similar remarks to Time magazine back in March. (The Wall Street Journal reporter with Clinton has an entertaining look at how the pack traveling with the candidate initially missed the story.)Blame cable Tee Vee...

Safire's Ire
2008-05-25 17:40:00
I adore William Safire. Have read all his books. Today's NYT Safire "The Seamy Side Of Semiotics" column lede: When was the last time you saw a person stop and think on television?Thinking in public is just not done. When asked a question or given some other verbal or visual cue, a panelist or interviewee will bark out an instantaneous answer. Talking points will march out smartly, often backed up by a fact or a figure to display a certain certitude.But in a subjunctive mood, we can ask: What if a candidate, expert or pundit were to lean back in the hot seat, look up at the ceiling, wrinkle the brow, steeple the fingers ? and say nothing for four or five seconds?Unprepared! the audience expecting instant profundity would cry. The alien thinker would be adjudged to be frozen stiff, startled into silence, exposed as ignorant...The sought-after savant caught momentarily marshaling thoughts on camera would be transformed from a get to a geddoutahere.
Larry King: As Predictable As Ex-Lax

?That?s why I?ll never work here. Breaking booty news ? that?s my background.? Ryan Seacrest to Larry King on why he'll never take over Larry's show permanently. Jacques Steinberg NYTCNN honcho Jon Klein's trying to quell rumors that CNN is: A) dumping Larry for Ryan or Katie. B) Moving ol' Lar out of the 9 p slot. Klein: "?Larry King Live? is one of the few appointment-viewing shows on television. It takes years and years to build that up.? ?As long as he continues to get the great bookings and the great ratings and maintains his passion for doing it, all of which he?s maintained, he?s there... He hoped Mr. Seacrest would continue to fill in for Mr. King ?from time to time,? but added that he had given no thought to a more permanent role for Mr. Seacrest at CNN. As to any interest he might have in Ms. Couric... ?She?s got a job at CBS. She?s got a contract over there. That?s all there is to say.?Larry has delusions of working until he's 83 - in 2017 - if God doesn't strike hi...

CNN capitulates over Jack Cafferty's China "thugs and goons" bombast. CNN Worldwide prez Jim Walton: "On behalf of CNN I'd like to apologize to the Chinese people for that," said Walton in a letter to Chinese ambassador to the United States Zhou Wenzhong, according to Qin. Walton also said, "CNN has the highest respect for Chinese people around the world and we have no doubt that there was genuine offense felt by them over the Jack Cafferty commentary." In early April, Cafferty said in a live show that Chinese products were "junk" and the Chinese were "basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years." Xinhua china.org
Joe Scarborough: Unidentified F'd Observation

China Syndrome
2008-04-20 16:26:00
China orchestrates a slick protest outside CNN's LA studios demanding Jack Cafferty's head.On the April 9 airing of "The Situation Room," Cafferty said of America's relationship with China: "We continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export... jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years." LA TimesCNN later clarified Cafferty's comments claiming he was referring to the government and not to the people.

Fox News: Snug As A Bug In A Rug
2008-03-18 14:47:00
Veteran NYT scribe Jacques Steinberg reduced to writing about Fox News bedbug infestation.While grappling with MSNBC and CNN for viewers, Fox News has also been battling a smaller, more insidious enemy closer to home: bed bugs in its Midtown Manhattan newsroom. In an interview on Monday, Warren Vandeveer, senior vice president for operations and engineering at Fox News, said the cable channel had realized it had a problem a few weeks ago, when an employee ?caught a bug and showed it to us.? An exterminator determined that the incursion was limited to a ?very small area in the newsroom.? But the source of the bugs was not determined until the exterminator inspected the homes of about 20 employees. Mr. Vandeveer said the exterminator later described one employee?s home as having ?the worst infestation he had seen in 25 years in the business.? After making large bags available for employees to stash their belongings, and replacing a number of fabric-covered desk chairs, Mr. Vandeveer s...

Conservative Tee Vee anchordude Tucker Carlson concedes the obvious: ?I don?t think I was a perfect fit in the lineup,? he said. ?I think that was obvious to anyone who was tuning in.? Still, he said, ?It?s not my nature to cry bias.? Phil Griffin, senior vice president of NBC News and executive in charge of MSNBC, said in an interview that the decision was more about Mr. Gregory and his rising profile at NBC than about the viewership for Mr. Carlson?s show. Though badly trailing his competition on Fox News (Brit Hume) and CNN (?The Situation Room?), Mr. Carlson?s program increased its viewership by 24 percent in February 2008, compared with a year earlier, to an average of 430,000 viewers a night, according to NBC?s analysis of data from Nielsen Media Research. ?The show was doing a little bit better,?

What Ailes Fox News?
2008-02-08 18:40:00
Fox News boss Roger Ailes to bitching, greedy grunts: Shut your whining yaps. You've got it good. "Some of you are famous." There's always the door... Ailes puts it on the line today in a communique to Fox employees, one or more of whom promptly leaked it to TV Newser. "The best things about those days [when Ailes came to Fox in 1996] were the positive attitude, team spirit, energy, personal sacrifice, cheerfulness, lack of complaints, kindness and a "can do" attitude. That combination made us the #1 news channel in America and the most successful cable channel launch in American history. But today, I sometimes hear too much selfish complaining, petty whining, and a desire to have what someone else has. Of course there are exceptions to this and we all know who they are, on the other hand do not assume I am talking about someone else. As I have always said, negative people make positive people sick."

Rick Sanchez. The CNN reporter has made a dubious name for himself taking "reporter involvement" to an absurd level. Sanchez famously had himself Tasered to see how it "feels." Tricky Dick jumped off a cruise ship to report firsthand how it "feels" to fall off. 3. Alycia Lane. Philadephia's KYW Tee Vee anchorbabe's bikini photo emails to married sports dude Rich Eisen intercepted by his angry wife Susie.
