CNN has earned a reputation for being the place to go for major breaking news stories. It has consistently been seen as the most credible of the cable news stations, although its credibility ratings, like those of the other cable networks, have declined in recent years. Its network of global resources and positioning as a newsier alternative to its more opinion-based competitors, Fox News and MSNBC,...

Our friends at Comedy Central worked the red carpet at the New York Comedy Festival's Stand Up For Heroes Event, eschewing traditional celebrity reporting to play a game of "Would You Rather?" with Dan Rather, taunt Brian Williams about his newscaster rivalry with Jon Stewart, and temporarily fluster Lisa Lampanelli, otherwise known as the Queen of Mean. Tracy Morgan's at Carnegie Hall tonight...

Cisco got one hell of a pitch man in Jack Donaghy. Last night's 30 Rock was notable not just for the usual cavalcade of shenanigans, or even the NBC in-house fun-poking (Brian Williams as a stand-up comic? Jack saying something was "as useless as the Winter Olympics" then turning to the camera and adding, "only on NBC"), but for its full-on integration of a commercial into the...

And right on cue Brian Williams shows up in the middle of a perfectly good episode of "30 Rock" tonight. The Denver Post ed board informs us that "Voters aren't in mood for taxes." They make this proclamation despite the fact that a majority of the tax issues on the ballot on Tuesday actually passed.

Quick spoilers for tonight's "30 Rock" coming up just as soon as my fontanelle closes...

My problem with the season's early episodes is that they weren't even funny enough to merit forgiveness. That changed with "Audition Day," which still...

Neither the CBS Evening News nor NBC Nightly News, in their East coast feeds Thursday night, noted the Muslim religious beliefs of the mass killer at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas, but ABC anchor Charles Gibson wasn't cowed by political correctness as he teased World News, “Fort Hood tragedy: An Army officer, a Muslim convert, is the suspect in a shooting spree...” Introducing his first...

Is Brian Williams the smarmiest network news anchor ever? I rag on Charlie Gibson because he's a lightweight as a "journalist" but he's at least sober, somber and competent when he anchors the evening news.

On NBC Nightly News last night, Brian Williams introduced a story about a flare-up in violence in Tehran related to the 30th anniversary of the Iran hostage crisis by saying, "We get more from NBC News Tehran bureau chief Ali Arouzi , the only journalist working for an American broadcaster who is currently in Iran."

CBS's Bob Schieffer on Wednesday night offered the hindsight that everyone knew the Democratic gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey would lose, they did lose and so the losses mean nothing. “I think what we saw last night were snap shots. I don't think we saw predictors,” Schieffer declared on the CBS Evening News in absolving President Obama of any culpability. “I...
