NEWSPAPERS | TV | RADIO | NEWS NOTES | JOBS NEWPAPERS Rep. Frank Wolf called for a NYT reporter at a hearing on the Hill yesterday to explain why with everything going on, they ran a story on President Obama's graying hair on page 1. From Washington Whispers, "'The New York Times has a front-page story today on the fact that Barack Obama's hair is turning gray, and the chairman is having a great hearing with great witnesses and they have never even covered this,' Republican Wolf barked. 'Do we wonder why our factories are empty and we're in a period of decay on this issue? I think the media, quite frankly, whoever is with the New York Times, you just aren't doing your job.'" From the Denver Post, "'Individuated' news tested," in a MediaNews Group trial run, readers will pick the daily information sent to them. They call it the "newspaper of the not-too-distant future." TV From the AP's David Bauder, "Obama administration goes after cable chatter." In the same week we learned MSNBC's Chris Matthews doesn't know who D.L. Hughley is, CNN cancels the show. TVNewser reports first the show will end its run at the end of this month and the decision was Hughley's.

The dozen Washington-based journalists who follow her wherever she goes complained that they'd been frozen out of the behind-the-scenes details just as abruptly as the stymied motorists forced to watch her drive by under the baleful stares of red-bereted Palestinian soldiers toting AK-47s... one correspondent for a prominent East Coast daily whined that he felt 'like we're the traveling Russian press.'"
