tales of a news junkieThere was no blogging on my part last night due to the Blackout, I just couldn't get myself away from the television. Who else loves watching CNN and FNC for the enjoyment of examinig how news reporters cover the news? "Will there be a national news broadcast from the Big 3?" was as gripping as "how many people are stuck in the subway?". Somehow there were newspapers in the effected areas this morning:
You can call me Mannix: CNN outdid FNC last night in blackout coverage. FNC was hampered with presenting as much information about how this could/couldn't relate to terrorism as possible, and it lost points for having Greta Van Susteren as their anchor. How does she talk with her mouth wired shut? CNN tossed the story around a lot more, it had Aaron Brown, Paula Zaun and Wolf Blitzer all working different angles. Wolf Blitzer, who I normally don't care for, had a wonderful performance being the 'man on the street.' His various interviews brought a wonderful human angle to the viewers, and Wolf earned some laughs when, after discovering that his subject was a photographer in the middle of a fashion shoot he questioned, "well what happened to the models, are they alright?" |
