If MSNBC is so determined to fight it out with Fox News, why did they tilt so heavily on Monday toward promoting Fox entertainment – to be specific, ‘American Idol’? Keith Olbermann and Joe Scarborough both devoted entire interview segments to the less-than-Earth-shaking speculation that ‘Idol’ judge Paula Abdul sounded drunk in interviews with local TV stations. Both had ‘Plastered Paula’ graphics. ‘Tucker’ handled the story, too, but for less time and without going to "experts" for comment. Some wondered if he was drunk when he said ‘Yes’ to trying to win "Dancing With the Stars."

Drunk?
January 17, 2007 - 14:42 ET by Six String SpiffWhoa... wait a minute here. THey SPECUALTE that Paula was drunk, but when good 'ol David Gregory TOLD Imus he was drunk, there was not a PEEP from the MSM. No bias here, folks. Move along.
Sure, I watch the MSM... Through a pair of crosshairs.
there it is!
January 17, 2007 - 14:44 ET by tumbler_2007Why hasn't the lib media told us?

Hey there is not such things a bad publicity. I did find it odd that NBC had someone from a rival network on their show. That shows you the popularity of "Idol" and NBC's attempt to capitalize on it a little.

January 17, 2007 - 17:46 ET by bigtimerExactly CN...
We have the Ninth Circus Ct. dropping or vacating, or minimizing charges against the guy who wanted to blow up LAX and it is merely mentioned yesterday...
Beyond Pathetic!
Unfortunately it is going to take a major attack to wake people up here...I mean major.

Sure, it's just one big Liberal keg party, doncha know? No Republican party poopers with worries about terrorism wanted - or needed. That's what they liked about the Clinton years and why they want 'em back.

You would think this was bigger news than American Idol... ooops, we are talking about our MSM, sorry.

January 17, 2007 - 17:32 ET by mattmIt's a classic ratings scam: run pretended "news" reports about a popular show from another network (which is blowing yours away in ratings). It's bordering on copyright infringement, seems to me.
American Idol
January 17, 2007 - 18:57 ET by pbthinkerWhat's the old adage, there's no such thing as bad publicity? What did American Idol pull last night a 20 share in the ratings? If Paula going on a little blitzed helped add just a little to those ratings I'm sure Fox is just saying, "Thank You" and telling her not to show up for the show that way.
