I am behind on my news, but this morning while I was sipping my morning coffee I found out Via Facebook that CNN fired anchor Rick Sanchez yesterday due to his anti-Semitic comments on some radio show. Good riddance. I never liked Sanchez’s style anyhow. In my opinion, he is a pompous _____ in an [...]
My major in college was journalism & I admit that lately I have been a lousy news hound. One cannot turn on the Internet without being reminded of the terrible oil in our Gulf. Even if I did not call this beautiful part of our planet my home, the images would devestate me nonetheless. On [...]
When CNN reports from my area I know they are not reporting good news. There is a massive oil sill that is slowly creeping its way towards the beautiful Northwest Florida & South Alabama beaches. I admit to being remiss about following the local news. After all: usually the local news is full of nothing [...]
On _Amanpour_ right now they are discussing Haiti. Should the world forgive Haiti’s debts & not expect repayment of monetary aid? My vote is YES. Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere & one of the porrest nations in the world. And then, look at the natural disasters the people there have gone [...]
As much as I did not want to watch the coverage of the quake in Haiti last evening,I did. I’m trained as a journalist & therefore know that it is important to stay in touch with what is happening in our nation & in our world. But last night’s news coverage of the Haitian tragedy [...]
Maybe I should be thankful that I do not work for any of the Big Media. They have been beating this Tiger Woods { pun intended} into the ground . I am sick of it. Tiger may be rich & famous, but he isn’t perfect. No one is perfect & I hate how the national [...]
Will there ever be peace between Palestine & Israel? That was the topic of discussion on last evening’s _Amanpour_. As a Christian with jewish roots, I naturally side with Israel. { I don’t care if this is not ” politically-correct”, it is how I feel in my heart} Christiane interviewed two experts on the conflict. [...]
Carrie Prejean is not only a hypocrite and a liar, she is also cowardly and stupid. She appeared on LKL a couple of nights ago. Apparently one of the stipulations was that she not take any phone calls from viewers. Now anyone who is at all familiar with Larry King’s style of interviewing knows full [...]
I saw this one coming from miles away: Lou Dobbs has left CNN. Are we * really* surprised? I’ve been a longtime viewer of CNN & I am NOT a fan of Mr Dobbs. Everyone has a right to his or her opinion, but CNN is a NEWS channel & Mr Dobbs’ show had become [...]
Anyone who knows me in real life knows what a HUGE fan I am of Ms Cristiane Amanpour’s work. Most little girls want to grow up to be movie stars or pop music princesses. Not me: I wanted to be a globe-trotting international correspondent. { still do, actually} I am such a nerd. Damn proud [...]
