John Roberts and the Naked News

While I'm posting, for humor, an item I saw Monday night on the CBS Evening News -- a line Bob Schieffer couldn't have gotten away with. After a story on people who subscribe to satellite television in their SUVs (one of whom had become a couch potato in his car), substitute anchor John Roberts ended the show imagining out loud his version of the good life: "So let's see. Driving the car, talking on the cell phone while watching the Naked News. Good idea."

Olbermann's Latest Shots at FNC

Keith Olbermann has the habit of taking gratuitous jabs at Fox News – which one can find in almost any type of story on his Countdown show – and so far, he's struck twice this week.

On Wednesday night, July 20, while reading an item on the death of former Washington Week in Review host Paul Duke, he said, "When he retired from that same chair two decades later, the show was a staple of national public affairs broadcasting, aired on 300 stations, getting four million viewers, which would be more than any program in cable news, or even those cable networks that pretend they cover news." Vague, I know, but I've seen the show enough times to know he was referring to FNC. And then tonight, he took a more direct shot at Fox News during which he employed the same theme of FNC not being a real news channel.
