Busted

Good Morning America suspended producer John Green for one month after embarrasing emails revealed Green's biases on some of the subjects his weekend show covers. "Bush makes me sick," Green explained in one electronic missive. ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider reacted: "I don't think the e-mails tell us anything about the show John Green was putting on the air every Saturday and Sunday, which is fair and balanced and down the middle." Sure. And CBS hiring Katie Couric to anchor its newscasts doesn't reveal any internal political bias either. C'mon, folks. The jig is up. The big-three network evening newscasts, and the big-three network morning shows too, are run by liberals. It's not hard to understand why this is a story reporters shy away from covering. When journalists can't even tell the truth about themselves, how can they be expected to tell the truth in the stories they report?

Yuck! Couric on the evening news, that will be horrible. Good thing I don't watch t.v.

Is there anyone more smug than Couric? Maybe Bryant Gumbel? He is also a former Today host, is it something about that silly morning show? Maybe Diane Sawyer is the smuggest of all, I can't decide. Treeless journalism is the only way to go I say.

Some doctoral student could do us and the "talking head" industry a distinct service by researching why there is such a blind spot in the people who enter and thrive in the field. I've seen theories, but nothing definitive.
