I’m going to say something unrelated, which is that the creepy advertising thing is creeping me out. When I’ve been listening to a relatively obscure new album on Spotify and then B-J tries to sell me that album…when clothes that I’ve shopped for online scroll by me….aieeee….

Or Comedy Central, really.
Few media outlets have done more to actually inform people than CC, which is Exhibit “A” on the failure of the Fourth Estate.

I thought this came up with the whole Jeff Gannon/Guckert thing.
The guy in charge of WND had an op-ed up that basically said “we had to go through all sorts of hoops to get our WH press credentials, why does this guy get a pass?”

This little nontroversy gives Romney a perfect opportunity for another “gaffe” (or an actual gaffe). But in this case I hope he avoids making one.

He actually worked at real newspapers decades ago, though he was always a flake, apparently.

OT but in media, from the Guardian:
CNN boss Jim Walton quits amid poor ratings, saying network needs ‘new thinking’. More details soon …
Well, colour me surprised.

So while Ann and Mitt are droning on on Today Show about how they just love “Downton Abbey” (way to pander huh), to quote Montel Jordan: This Is How We Do It
“Michelle Obama on Olympics: British “know what they’re doing””

@Calouste: Maybe they’ll decide to put some news back into their infotainment.
Nah, who am I kidding?

But can the WND White House correspondent get into the White House? That’s the question.
I humbly suggest that Balloon Juice designate a White House correspondent, or even a team.
How about SPaT and kay?
Edit: I guess that should be the BJ WH Bureau, not team.

To jl’s point…
Are we sure they have a real WH correspondent and not just some guy blogging from a Starbucks across the street?

@Calouste:
Hint for the CNN brain trust, such as it is.
Stop trying to be Faux lite.
Also, fire the public embarrassment that is Leslie Blitzer. Retroactively.
Oh, and give Fucker Fuckerson the heave ho. Loudly and proudly.

@jl: Tunch, or no one.

Before I prescribed “new thinking” for CNN, I’d prescribe “thinking”.

@lamh35:
And as the British press roll their eyes about how the NBC coverage still treats Britain as if it’s Downton Abbey…

@Calouste: @Villago Delenda Est: Can we line up Piers Morgan against the wall as well? Kthxbai.

I’ll admit, I didn’t know until looking at this story that there was a controversy about the capital of Israel. Keep that in mind if I ever express an opinion about the politics of that region.

John, this is from that hilarious scene of “Significant Others”
with Fred Goss’ character “Bill” and his sister in law “Ginny”
played by Mary Pat Dowhy” isn’t it? Say it! Say it!
