Taking Out The Trash, 09.06.06

After a slow start, FNC jumps ahead of CNN and MSNBC as the fav for midterm coverage. A reader notes, "Where's Norah? Isn't she the chief Washington Correspondent for MSNBC? Why is Campbell Brown the only female they've got doing this all-day election, when she does general NBC stories and Norah does politics for actual MSNBC all day long?" Good point. Anyone? TVNewser gives us Katie's number. Some may say it's Olympic. WaPo's Paul Fahri loved Katie, hated the show: "Yes, me. I thought she was attractive, sharp and (as always) likeable. The broadcast, on the other hand, was junky." This post is getting a lot of reader response. The latest: "Oy. Vey. Yes, the web site is the increasingly public face of the Washington Post -- and has been for 10 years. If the site makes mistakes (and all sites do), then it's more of a reason than ever for the hard-copy newsroom to get on board rather than whining about it. There are still sections of the newspaper that proudly refuse to deal with the web site. Short-sighted and silly. Aw, the poor sensitive journalists. Who are now being read by MILLIONS of people worldwide. Gosh, what a drag." George Stephanopoulos poses an interesting question: "Rumsfeld: Lightning Rod or Anchor?" The collapse of news: A historical timeline courtesy of Wake-Up Call: -- "Couric makes changes on 'CBS News' debut" (AP). "Couric offers solid debut" (USA Today). "Couric Wardrobe kept modest, desk futuristic" (Palm Beach Post). -- According to Shales, Katie "oddly wore a white blazer" buttoned "in such a way as to make her look chubby, bursting at the button" (Washington Post). Shales also said Kurtz put him to sleep this morning (Extreme Mortman). -- The CBS "Evening News" also featured Suri Cruise photos "and a vow that Wednesday would bring an interview with Shiloh Jolie-Pitt" (E! Online). -- "Imagine in six months what ass we will be kicking" -- CBS "Evening News" EP Rome Hartman (CBSNews.com). -- Dan Rather donated $2M to his alma mater, Sam Houston State Univ (AP). -- "Don't point your finger at me" -- NBC's David Gregory, being David Gregoryish (EditorandPublisher.com). -- "I look like a tramp" -- Meredith Vieira (Philadelphia Inquirer).
