Cronkite’s voice was kept on the air even after his death July 17.”


As comforting as it is to look back on the great career that Walter had, we’re looking forward now and we just felt it was the right time to make the move that at some point had to be made,” said CBS News and Sports President Sean McManus. “This seemed like the appropriate time since Walter’s passing to make the move.

A TRAGEDY UNFOLDS…

TORTURE…STARVATION

…12 YEARS IN A LABOR CAMP..

lisaling1

sentenced

LAURA LING AND EUNA LEE WORK FOR CURRENT TV

This is horrible. It’s like something you see in the movies. Two girls go overseas and end up in the foreign prison system…completely defenseless….This is a case where you can be an american citizen and have no right to an attorney…In my thoughts and prayers…I bet if Lisa Ling was still on The View, and had that DAILY ‘platform’ to talk about her sister…they wouldn’t be in a prison camp right now…

———-
It’s been two and a half months since journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling were picked up by North Korean soldiers.  The two, who work for San Francisco based
Current TV, founded by Al Gore, were along the border in China, putting together a story on refugees.

Lings sister Lisa, also a journalist, says the family has remained low key for a reason.  But now the family is speaking out since a recent call from Laura,
the first since her arrest:Lisa Ling,Sister of Laura Ling said on Larry King Live

 

Lisa Ling, former member of The View was at a Candlelight vigil last night…for her sisters

I picked up the phone and heard this little voice say “Li, it’s me, I need your help”, and the call lasted about 4 minutes, it was extremely emotional, I’m surprised we were even able to get our words out, but in our 4 minute conversation, she said the only way to get us released is if our two countries communicate and that’s one of the reasons why we wanted to go
public.

North Korean government officials say the two women have been convicted, for engaging in so-called “hostile acts”. They will now be sent to a labor camp to serve the maximum 12 years.The trial comes at a delicate time. On the heels of a North Korean missile launch and underground nuclear test.

…YOUNG, FEARLESS…

….BEST FRIENDS

& DEFENSELESS

…IN FORCED LABOR CAMP

Do you watch Fox news?…… I…

I don’t have anything negative or positive to say. But Current fox news primetime ratings fallen in HALF….in ONE MONTHS TIME. But also during the most crucial ratings period, the one that sets rates for advertisers….(yeah, I know its surprising…and I know this post is causing quite a stir…) I know my ratings analysis back and forth…Its for real…

FNC primetime ratings on April 27 – 2.6 million viewers

Current fox news primetime overall ratings fallen more than HALF…(DURING CRITICAL MAY SWEEPS)

FNC primetime ratings current –1.2 million viewers

25-54 year old viewers – fell to only 444,000 if you average the entire week ratings…

One example, of a tanking FOX NEWS show

Just one month ago

On the Record w/Greta—2.2 million viewers on April 27

Currently – On the Record w/Greta 1.2 million June 2 (a ONE Million drop in viewership over ONE MONTH) Greta also fell below several Fox Daytime programs…

A recent OReilley 11pm airing nearly fell under the 1 million viewer mark..wow…A far cry from last month…

HLN ratings are booming, with the network up 41% in Monday-Sunday primetime total viewers,

 (I do try to catch Courtney Hazlett on the scoop on MSNBC)

On a Side note60 doesnt seem to be aging, handily winning Sunday at 7pm almost doubling competitor Dateline with its Michael Phelps profile…

SEE The Making of Michael Phelps on 60…(VIDEO)

“Angelina Jolie’s Carefully Orchestrated Image”

Angelina Jolie

 
Hollyscoop – Earlier this morning we reported on an article that the New York Times had published regarding Angelina Jolie. They basically said that Angelina is the queen of manipulating the media for good press and magazines such as People Magazine have fallen victim to her ways.
Larry Hackett, managing editor for People Magazine has responded to the article slamming the NY Times.
Read the statement below:
“Angelina Jolie’s Carefully Orchestrated Image”
“I don’t normally address press stories about how we do our business here at People. But today’s New York Times pg. 1 story about Angelina Jolie requires a response. In the lede, the story strongly suggests that People, while negotiating for the twins pictures, had explicit conversations about our “editorial plan” and made ‘a promise’ that coverage would be positive.

John Edwards ENRAGED…

by Mark Park August 10, 2008 john edwards

Edwards had hoped to control the news cycle by making his admission late on a Friday night when the country was watching the Olympics and the long weekend yawned ahead.

According to multiple sources, Edwards was apoplectic that ABC News began promoting the story early on Friday, giving the rest of the media a chance to play catch-up and site ABC News’ report. (Representatives for Edwards did not return a call or e-mail for comment.)

Edwards subsequently made solicitous calls to multiple reporters including CBS News’ Bob Schieffer, who also talked to a distraught Elizabeth Edwards.
