Congrats everyone, great insight as usual. I have a question for those on this thread....Anita's Media Nuggets are so penetrating, I wonder if they could be posted on a seperate thread as well as here? Not every FReeper visits the Talk Show thread, (don't know what they're missing) and there is valuable information in the Nuggets. I know I find thing there that I never see any place else. Just a suggestion.
You should address that to Anita, not me. :-)
This sunday's Media Nuggets
###### Revealing National Secrets OK for NYTimes, but not Gitmo-terrorists' protectors. Not anymore. Conservative Talkshow host Monica Crowley is going to shame the MSM, by doing their job. NYTimes & Leaky Leahy are angry.
###### Associated Press' Dictionary - Balanced = Restricted.
###### Newsweek's Howard Fineman, MSNBC's Tucker Carlson and CNN's Bob Franken attended ($1,000-a-ticket) a "tribute" to the 110th dem.Congress..
###### Tony Snow's eyes on Associated Press' "Jamilgate" and the New Media.
###### "Hannity's America" Starts with Strong Ratings. Lauren Green promoted as Fox's Religion Correspondent. Alisyn Camerota (on maternity leave now) will replace her on F&F. Ainsley Earhardt (Texas) becomes FNC new overnight news anchor. Ed Chen, the fired LATimes reporter becomes Bloomberg's WH correspondent. ABC's "Good Morning America" signed - CNNer Glenn Beck (which airs 3 times daily) as a regular commentator. He will be a regular on Paula Zahn's too, to improve her ratings.
###### NewsCorp's MySpace & DailyKos abusing media pass credentialling @ SOTU speech?
###### Wash.Post Publisher - Involved in DC Cronyism?
###### Rush Limbaugh on Fox? - Fox is rumored to start Conservative alternate to the Comedy shows (SNL) & piloting several themes. The Half Hour NewsHour, might be one of them.
###### washingtonpost.com to become laughable officially in 2008 presidential campaign, if not already. (They 're signing up fake-news-fame John Stewart as editor.)
###### Helen Thomas, Bill Moyers, Jane Fonda & Jesse Jackson - planners of Media Reform!
###### Your Tax $ @ work - PBS will air weekly series with Bill Moyers starting in April.
###### Continuing 2007 Media erosion New York Times' Group & Boston Globe cut 125 jobs. Wonders never cease! Union Slams NYT Co. Over Outsourcing, Job Cuts.
###### And then this..... - Philadelphia Newspapers Lay Off 34 More Employees .
###### WSJ union rewarded for running ad in NYTimes - lost 98 jobs.
Great suggestion about the nuggets. By the time I get to read the thread my eyes are glazing over and I'm sure I'm missing something important that ought to be repeated.
