    I think Gawker got this almost exactly wrong. I think the least pathetic, and most graceful letter of all, came from the only man, apparently, who still has a producing job in television, Pat Curry of WGN.

    Yes, he's sympathetic (perhaps even syncophantic), but still seems, to me, to be genuine, caring, and professional.

    The Oprah crowd has been exposed to so much "look at me" empathy, that they can't distinguish it from a sincere, polite, declaration of caring.

    John, you didn't get Fox News because you asked for e-mails from representatives of the media. Next time try "representatives of the media, and crazy people", and the Glenn Beck e-mails will pop right up.

    Andy Shaw quit right after this to run the Better Government Association. I think we just witnessed the tipping point.

    I am a scholar in the Signoff Sciences and I have to say: this is a satisfying smorgasboard of farewells.

    We've got a handful of Bests and Thanks, a Warm Regards and a Sincerely, the simpering Humbly and the bubbly Hope you're hanging in there!

    And then there's my personal favorite:

    Thank you and please respond at your earliest convenience.

    Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

    The incredible offer from Don and Roma was for Blago to guest host their show. He went ahead and took that offer of course. It was radio GOLD.

    All of this is ironic, in that, if the media had waited just a few more hours, Blago undoubtedly would have been hounding them to let him come in for an interview.

    The lack of sycophantic correspondence from Fox News is intriguing. Usually, they "accidentally" label whichever disgraced Republican pol as "D-" to keep their reportage on-message, but then they completely dropped the ball when a bona-fide D-Scumsylvania appeared on the horizon.

    @simplicissimus: It is weird, but I suspect that somehow e-mails from Fox News escaped our FOIA through an administrative error.

    Blago has been hosting his own show on WLS the past couple of weekends so I'm guessing their incredible offer involved a lot of free air time to use as he sees fit.

    From someone whose job it was to send all these e-mails and make all these calls and buy all those dinners ... it sucks. But it's your job, suck it up, suck up and some how score that interview.

    It's the interviewer's job to be the fair & balanced journo. A better story would be to pair the pitch with the story that resulted.

    Just saying ... thanks for making me cry Gawker Meanie-a

    I only watch CNN - can't watch MSNBC, can't watch FOX :: I need unbiased news which is why I sincerely hope they don't do this because I can't stand opinion news, liberal or conservative.

    Maybe Anderson will come out of the closet now that Maddow has paved the way. He looks more pathetic with each passing self-loathing month.

    @ToniaAntiphus: What about all the other gays at CNN? I know Gawker never bothers to acknowledge them because they aren't cute Vanderbilts, but there are plenty of them.


    I'd wager Anderson will stay a non-partisan news anchor instead of turning into a leftist commentator, so I doubt this decision will make any difference to him.


    You'd think the most obvious CNN person to follow Maddow out of the closet was Suzanne Malveaux. Maddow has had success, and Maddow had Ellen and Rosie Odonnell to break the ground first. It's not like Suzanne is facing the same situation as the guys in cable news who are looking at Thomas Roberts' career dive after coming out. CNN panelist Donna Brazille can join Suzanne in a double uncloseting.

    As long as there's no Soledad O'Brien anchor plans in the works. That woman irritates me beyond reason. I'd like to punch her with a stinking dog, but I'm thinking she'd sue me or get me evicted, whichever.

    @Spirit Fingers: Amen sister. But they're all irritating. CNN has answered the question of whether there's a point at which talking head self-tanning becomes a workplace liability with a resounding "OMG, what are you talking about?"

    The notion that CNN would consider "tacking left" as some kind of "Hail Mary" (I don't really do sports, so is that typically capitalized?) pass is absolutely fucking ridiculous.


    As if CNN, the squishiest and most mealy-mouthed news outlet in the land has a fucking ideology there down in the basement. Oh, and P.S.: Fuck you, Campbell Brown.

    @lawyergay: The right wing leader's incredibly successful campaign to bully the media into acquiesence and deafen their own supporters to inconvenient facts by demonizing any vaguely neutral, responsible or penetrating journalism as the Leftist Media Conspiracy has had a serious weakening affect on all the news outlets.


    I think integrating some host commentators with a democratic or true center sensibility makes sense for CNN. Most of the right wing is never going to trust them because they aren't total republican mouth pieces, and there are a lot of democrats and independents who are looking for something viewable.
