In your gusty Friday media column: Kathleen Parker may be doomed, Adweek's big reinvention approaches, the Iraqi shoe-thrower gets nabbed again, the USA vs. James Risen, and Dylan Ratigan's not holy after all.
In your buggy Monday media column: Kathleen Parker's exact worth is pinpointed, the HuffPo-AOL merger dissection and fallout begins, complaints about The Daily increase, and beware of Al Jazeerans attempting to infiltrate America via television screens.
In your foreboding Tuesday media column: Bloomberg decides to attract some of these "wealthy" readers, Kathleen Parker's reign at CNN looks tenuous, magazine ad revenue rises in 2010, journalism's depressing, and Elaine Lafferty speaks on her Daily Beast-Koch-Jane Mayer story.

According to The Wall Street Journal, CNN is considering dumping Parker Spitzer's Kathleen Parker and replacing her. But who could bring the same ability to sit there and not talk? Ashley Dupre? Piers Morgan? Ted Williams? A piece of string?
Tonight on Parker Spitzer, Alec Baldwin will discuss his possible foray into politics. So, will he get into the game? Short answer: "Yes, this something that I'm very, very interested in."
This is probably not a surprise to people who follow the comings and goings of Alec Baldwin—he's been hinting at it for years—but it may be the first time he's been so publicly direct about his political ambitions.

Utterly unwatched CNN newsgimmick show Parker Spitzer is getting some much-needed publicity today, in the form of a rumored threat by cohost Kathleen Parker to leave the show. Oh no, they wouldn't want to lose Kathleen Parker, ha ha.
Yay for Andrew Jenks, whose press tour has introduced me to Dylan Ratigan and caused me to watch Parker Spitzer. Look at this hot mess including a nut up from Dennis Rodman when Spitzer asks him to thank the government.
Greta Van Susteren, Fox News anchor and power-blogger, was channel-surfing before her show tonight. (God knows she doesn't "prepare" or anything.) She happened on CNN's Parker/Spitzer, and was disgusted by the orgy of Bush-bashing sexual innuendo she witnessed therein.
Okay, CNN's dynamic new public affairs program Park-Spitzer had a rough start. But hey, Monday night's episode was the time slot's biggest failure in years. And it set up Larry King for his worst ratings in a decade. Green shoots!
What made former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez accuse his ex-bosses of racism? Apparently, he couldn't figure out why he was being "overlooked" while former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer—who "can't take cues or stick to timing"—had a show.
Tonight was the premiere of Parker Spitzer, the horribly-named new CNN current events show with former New York governor Eliot Spitzer and Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker. How was it? Be glad you watched Dancing With the Stars instead.
Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker has just moved to NYC for her new CNN show, the somehow raunchy-sounding Parker Spitzer. But she's already whining about the "bureaucrats." Why won't Michael Bloomberg allow cable guys to eat doughnuts?
Here's a "sneak peek" at CNN's new show, featuring former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and Pulitzer Prize-winning opinion columnist Kathleen Parker. It looks embarrassing and unwatchable! Here's an incomplete list of things that are bad about it:
