National Journal’s Vaughn Ververs said goodbye today, in his last “Talking Heads” column before heading to CBS to edit the new “Public Eye” blog. Ververs sums up his six years of media-watching:
“We’ve been there to watch and try to explain the meteoric rise of Fox News Channel, a phenomenon few took seriously until it was too late. We’ve seen CNN, once seemingly unstoppable, vamp and revamp to keep up. We’ve strained our brains (and necks) by watching the always-morphing MSNBC grope for some workable formula — from John Hockenberry to Tucker Carlson, from ‘Time and Again’ to ‘Countdown.'”
