Morning Reading List, 09.11.06

Good morning. Deb Howell goes "Between the Pages in Book World" U.S. News' David Kaplan is blogging. Jamie Foxx hangs with Fox's Hadley Gamble. Vincent Orange, a non-Post endorsee, says "definitely reject the needs of the Washington Post." We think Dana Milbank is privately a Team Tucker member too: 5 Schlock. Tom DeLay, with time on his hands, tells his supporters to back "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Sara Evans. DeLay thinks the country singer is the best hope for Republicans to prevent the dance prize from going to another entrant, "ultra-liberal talk show host Jerry Springer." But what about a third contestant, Tucker Carlson? Check out David Folkenflik's report on NPR's All Things Considered that includes new remarks from Ken Tomlinson and more details from the federal report on the investigation. TNR is coming back, baby! Former FCC Chairman Newton Minow is a fan of Katie Couric. Fred Hiatt on "How we endorse and why." "Revived 'Nightline' May Get Last Laugh" From an ABC release on the 2005/06 season: "THIS WEEK WITH GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS" INCREASES 12% IN THE KEY ADULTS 25-54 DEMO FOR THE SEASON -- BEST SEASON SINCE 2001/ 02--BIGGEST INCREASE AMONG THE SUNDAY DISCUSSION PROGRAMS "THIS WEEK" ALSO INCREASES 6% IN TOTAL VIEWERS FOR THE SEASON --BEST SEASON SINCE 2003/ 04 From an NBC release: 'THE CHRIS MATTHEWS SHOW' IS THE NO. 2 PUBLIC AFFAIRS SHOW IN HOUSEHOLDS FOR THE WEEK "Matthews" Tops "Face the Nation," "This Week" and "FOX News Sunday" in Households From an NBC release: 'MEET THE PRESS WITH TIM RUSSERT' LEADS THE SUNDAY MORNING PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMPETITION IN ALL CATEGORIES TOPS CBS BY 19%, ABC BY 40% AND FOX BY 217%. The Post hires Michael Gerson as an op-ed columnist. "Rob Curley Enters Stage Left at WPNI" A reader writes in: It pains me to read that people are suggesting that Moira Bagley beat the Post to the story on H Street NE. Indeed Fritz Hahn's Weekend section article appeared after Bagley's, but he's written a bunch of other pieces on H Street NE before this over the past year. He's had his ear to the ground on this well before Moira knew that there was an H Street NE. If any credit should be given, it should be given to the neighborhood blogger frozentropics.blogspot.com. She's done a great job following H Street NE. (Here's one Friz H Street NE article) From Eat the Press: "Broder, Hitchens, Frum, All Of Yous! There Is More To Plamegate Than Armitage" To clarify: Following this post, a reader wrote in saying: Whatever your tip was on the USAT holiday invites is off. Maybe just part of the company got them? I'm a USATer and have just talked to a couple other ones -- we haven't seen that e-mail. We hear that it's not the staff party -- it's the one they do for people/VIPs outside.
