CNN taps Rick Sanchez's Twitter responses for a "Talk to Rick" screen crawl showcasing viewer opinions. But apparently nobody edits it, because anti-semitic commentary made it on the air during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on Israel policy.
This weekend, Times Style writer Guy Trebay accurately observed that the CNN reporter's default uniform in Haiti was a snug-fitting muscle shirt. This, Trebay concluded, was a sign that journalists were basically becoming slobs. But how to explain Don Lemon?
Two days ago, CNN's Haiti coverage reached a strange climax, as Sanjay Gupta and Anderson Cooper morphed into a team of life-saving reporters/heroes. Tonight, Gupta and Cooper were just a couple of journalists who have maybe seen too much.
Richard Heene, manufacturer of hoaxes and believer in reptilian humanoids, graced Larry King Live with his presence tonight for an ~*~EXCLUSIVE~*~ interview. How did Heene fare when faced with hard-hitting questions from Lar Bear? Well, he cried—a lot.

• Rumor has it Condé Nast isn't going to shutter several of its money-losing magazines like Details and Teen Vogue, after all.

Jessica Simpson loved her probably-eaten dog like a child; Kirstie Alley is spending money buying imaginary things and Wolf Blitzer posted a celebrity photo to his new Twitter account. The Twitterati let their emotions guide them.
Sarah Palin's on the CNN. Thank god she is babbling lies about energy and not talking about rapist late night comedians. For now! No, wait, here comes the bit where she fantasizes about imaginary people threatening to rape her daughter.
Today's big story was Barack Obama's nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the retirement of David Souter.
