Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
I hate when reporters say this to someone they are interviewing. Just once, I’d love to see an interviewee reply, “My words? My OWN words? Oh, well then no comment. I thought you wanted someone else’s words, which I’m perfectly happy to tell you. But my words? Please.”
Mad props to Sportstalk 980 in D.C.! And shame on the AP reporter for falling for it. Seriously? Walken is quirky, but he would never say the things that the impersonator said.
Thanks - I got a little carried away at one point in this clip, but I loved my job and genuinely got excited. I left the business because I just didn’t care for the politics, backstabbing, and egos.
Flashback Friday - Once upon a time, I did this for a living. The Boy was amazed when I showed it to him. “You were on TV!? COOL!”
Watching the press conference. Alert still in effect.
Media person: “What should they do while inside?” what kind of question is that?
That is an idiotic question. If you’re an employee, you should work and if you’re visiting, you stay inside, respect the threat and be safe. Most people have smartphones these days, so play some Angry Birds or something.
If you’ve ever worked in a television news room, you’ll appreciate this photo. I admit that there were certain stories that got my adrenaline going, but “storm team” and “traffic team” coverage just didn’t do it for me. Don’t miss this “journalism” nonsense one bit.

No, My9, news shouldn’t move fast. It should take as much time as necessary to inform me about the important news of the day without condensing it into talking points, glossy us vs. them packages, or headlines that miss the point. It also shouldn’t move fast for the sake of squeezing in stories about how chewing gum is bad for me (or not) which celebrity broke up with another, or what silent killer might be lurking under my porch.
Unfortunately, in New York, no such local newscast exists, so I don’t watch local news at all. Saying your newscast moves faster is the equivalent of saying, “stories as deep as the anchors delivering them.”
ohhleary, their news has to move fast because it’s being broadcast from Secaucus, New Jersey. If it moves slow we won’t see it at the same time we’re seeing the 10 pm newscasts on sister station WNYW and WPIX, both of which broadcast from New York.
It’s like broadcast journalism physics or something.
No one has asked the real question… if WNYW’s newscast begins at 10 p.m. in New York traveling at 55 mph, and My9 begins at the same time, but in New Jersey traveling faster at 60 mph, which one gets to the kicker story faster?
New cover story will land on your iPad momentarily…
Please excuse me while I ponder the meaning of journalistic integrity.
I was not aware that Matt Drudge was involved with The Daily, but the evidence is pretty clear now.
It’s funny, but at the same time, as a journalist, I find this in poor taste and a fireable offense. Grow up, people. You don’t work for the New York Post.
A spokeswoman tells the Washington Post that it was “a straightforward editorial decision” (LOL!!!), but surely Brian Williams thinks this story would fall under his “Fleecing Of America” series, right? Right?
Much respect to the journalists from all over the world, who risk their lives to report on events such as the revolution going on in Egypt.
We’ve compiled a list of all the journalist who have been in some way threatened, attacked or detained while reporting in Egypt. When you put it all into one list, it is a rather large number in such a short period of time.
Important.
