Obama knows a democracy is a popularity game and he's going to try to milk the media benefits for all it's worth. To hell with actually performing and being productive as a national leader. But of course the media is not going to play along when the president doesn't perform and right there is the biggest problem with a democracy. The emphasis is moved away from productive leadership to child like...
Ah, yes. Katie's gravitas-laden ode to journalistic impartiality brings to mind that other beloved classic: 'Twas the night she got $#!+faced, and all through the club, Katie Couric was looking for guys to butt-rub; But the gentlemen found her too haggard and squat, So she showed some young ladies that "It" she's still got; She stuck out her buttocks like eggs in a basket, While poor Walter...
Thanks, Cupcake , for posting this . I'm looking for the link to the Walter Cronkite celebration party when he was named anchor to the CBS Evening News. I'll bet he could pop, drop and lock it with the best of them. Stay tuned.
Still not quite sure why so many branded Funny People an unmitigated disaster. Sure, it wasn't as big of a box-office performer as your standard Apatow or Sandler joint, but it was hardly a huge bomb ( $51M ). Plus, the reviews were fairly solid across the board (68% positive on RT ). Something tells me that this is a film that people will find on DVD and VOD, and it will eventually become a basic-cable...
Well, this is one way to help CBS News climb out of the ratings basement. Who knew Katie Couric looked so good - and could get low on the dance floor? Pictures posted on her 18-year-old daughter's Facebook page (she is soo grounded) shows the CBS Evening News anchor grinding in a short black skirt. The occasion for Katie Couric dancing provocatively on a rooftop of Manhattan's Hudson Hotel? A 2006...
A development that would make Walter Cronkite proud. The poem, written to the rhyme of the famous A Visit from St. Nicholas, is pretty obviously in support of the Democratic health care proposals, going as far as saying Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) would be a hero for crossing the aisle and voting for Harry Reid’s legislation. Twas [...]
If there was even a shred of doubt the media is in the tank for the Democrats, this should remove it once and for all. It's hard to believe someone who pretends to be an objective news anchor would whore themselves out like this, but here it is. It wasn't seen on the actual CBS Evening News, but rather online. Still, can you imagine a Dan Rather or Walter Cronkite doing something like this. Oh
I'll state my prejudices up front: Alessandra Stanley, columnist for the New York Times is one of the dimmest and most pretentious culture vultures of our time. That she is usually wrong is not the issue--it's that she often ASTONISHINGLY wrong. Recently she drubbed director Barry Levinson for his film Poliwood, an indictment of the intersection of politics and entertainment. Just about everybody with...
It was 46 years ago today, November 22, 1963, that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Here are a series of videos that bring back the events of the day, beginning with the coverage by Walter Cronkite and a local Dallas TV Station. The final two videos are from the extremely graphic Zapruder film showing the assassination itself: CBS News/Walter Cronkite Coverage of Kennedy...
As we mentioned , NBC "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams was in Arizona this week to receive the 2009 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism. This is the first time the award has been given since Cronkite's passing. "The honor you give me here today is the highest of my career," Williams said. "I get to have my name mentioned alongside the best there ever was...
Arizona Republic | cronkite.asu.edu Brian Williams , who received the 2009 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism at Arizona State University, said if the late CBS anchor had come along today, he would have gotten less attention.
