Morning Reading List 10.15.09

Good morning FishbowlDC! Got a blind item, interesting link, funny note, comment, birthday, anniversary or anything of the sort for Morning Reading List? Drop us a line. What we know and what we're reading this rainy Thursday morning... NEWSPAPERS | TV | ONLINE | MAGAZINES | NEWS NOTES | WEST WING REPORTAGE | AWARDS & EVENTS | IN MEMORIAM NEWSPAPERS WSJ has taken the top spot among daily newspapers, taking over USA Today. NYT has decided not to sell the Boston Globe. Tom Brokaw's op-ed in today's WaPo: "A Peace Prize to Share." TV On his radio show yesterday, MSNBC's Joe Scarbourgh ribbed on Chuck Todd with ABC's Jake Tapper. Scarborough: "I expect he's going to have a Billy Ray Cyrus mullet soon" and "His body odor has gotten worse over the past ten years." To which Tapper responded: "There's so much body odor in the [White House] press area, I can't tell who's who." More on "Goatee Gamble" on FBDC later today. NBC and CBS News Presidents Steve Capus and Sean McManus commented on comments their reporters Richard Engel and Lara Logan have made on the war in Afghanistan. PBS' Jim Lehrer seems to have an affinity for rap, or at least one of his producers does. An economist was apparently bumped from "Newshour" for a rapping economist. We don't blame you, "Newshour." ONLINE Arianna Huffington calls for Vice President Joe Biden to resign. New venture: Michael Kinsley is launching a business site for Atlantic. MAGAZINES Rolling Stone's Obama cover won an ASME prize. NEWS NOTES The US military in eastern Afghanistan recently changed its media embed rules to ban pictures of troops killed in the war. (Photo District News) And on a lighter note, Rush Limbaugh apparently isn't going to get to buy the St. Louis Rams. WEST WING REPORTAGE After an appearance on CNN this weekend in which she called Fox News "a wing of the Republican party," White House communications director Anita Dunn is on the cover of WaPo's Style section today. Most interesting: "A source inside the White House, who was not authorized to speak about strategy meetings, said Dunn went out front against Fox first and foremost because it was her job, but also because it potentially gave the administration the opportunity to distance itself from the flap with the Roger Ailes-led news channel once she leaves the communications job." Mike Allen also fact-checks the piece in this morning's Playbook... "UM, NO: "She advised President Bill Clinton." Anita never worked for Bill Clinton." And more on Fox News vs. the White House. AWARDS & EVENTS Politico's David Rogers, Politics Daily "Capitolist" Patricia Murphy, The Hill's Susan Crabtree, Time's Jay Newton-Small, CQ's Greg Giroux, Cook Political Report's Jennifer Duffy and Center for Responsive Politic's Sheila Krumholz will be featured on panels at NPC's Political Writing Workshop this weekend. IN MEMORIAM In memoriam: Nan Robertson, Pulitzer Prize-winning NYT reporter and "The Girls in the Balcony" author. HAT TIPS: mediabistro, TVNewser, Politico, NJ's Wake-Up Call and Last Call!
