Post subject:  WTF is up with Morning News???

Morning news is seriously starting to suck...

CNN: With the worst ratings in 20 years, they hire some FNG to break up Ashleigh and Zoraida on Morning Start. The FNG must be a major tool because obviously no one is getting up between 5-7 a.m. to just cap Zoraida by herself (or is she being held hostage by a Desk Monster?) Ashleigh's probably on too late to bother capping, and she inherited the Desk Monster from Carol and Kyra.

What's next, CNN? Replacing Brooke Baldwin (or Erin Burnett) with Candy Crowley?

CBS: In the last 18 months the exodus has been: Maggie Rodriguez, Betty Nyguen, Juile Chen to afternoons, and now Norah O'Donnell is being pulled from the White House correspondent's job to replace Erica Hill. CBS this Morning is trying to imitate MSNBC's "Morning Joe" with Gayle King and Charlie Rose. An Orpah surrogate with one of the most milquetoast douches in TV journalism (same as Bob Schaeffer and the dumbass who got his colonoscopy done on live TV).

Really, CBS? Seriously?

HLN: I've kinda fallen out of love w/Morning Express. I would take Robin over most of the tools and douchebags at the Big Three, CNN, and MSNBC, but casual Friday is being done more than once a week. Also, she and Jennifer Westhoeven have occasionaly fallen to Natasha Curry Slacks Disease. Jennifer has pretty much succumbed to the desk monster...and the Birkenstocks she occasionally flashes?

NBC: I will not rehash the BS soap opera that was the Ann Curry Scandal on Today. The real problem is Matt the Douche. Al Roker needs to go back to The Weather Channel where he belongs. Given the current format, they might as well fire everybody and just let Hoda and Kathy Lee run wild for three hours.

ABC: The Big Three leader by default. Amy Rorbach and Ginger Zee aren't sexy enough to overcome the super-toolery of George Stephanopolis, or the deluxe doucheness of Brian Ross. Check out Steffi's resume before he worked at ABC News...he's a journalist? Please. Brian Ross' coverage of the Aurora massacre...'nuff said.

MSNBC: Forget "Lean Forward"...my motto for them is "We Have To Pay for Sex". No seriously...if not for Mika, Morning Joe would be more Tool Time than Home Improvement could EVER be...and I would take Tim Allen and Richard Kiel over Joe and his usual gang of idiots any day of the week. How is SE Cupp NOT bitch-slapping her male co-hosts on "The Cycle"? And how is TAMRON HALL dating LAWRENCE O'DONNELL??? Let's see...Toure', Sharpton, Roker...ummm, let's move on shall we?

MSNBC...We Have To Pay for Sex...(except for Larry O'Donnell)'nuff said.

FNC: Fox and Friends First. Gretchen Carlson the Upskirt Queen, and the best bunch of relievers (Juliet Huddy, Alisyn Camerota, Anna Kooiman, etc) this side of MLB. And you can hate on FNC all you want but you KNOW you want to be Bill Hemmer...yes, you do! Seriously, Megyn Kelly, Martha McCallum and her back-ups (Jamie Colby, Huddy, etc)? And he probably goes home to something MUCH hotter! You see him roll-lin'...you hatin'...youmad cuzyouwannacathim riding dir-ty...catchim ri-ding dirty...et al...

**sigh** At the rate we're going TV news could end up like this...

CBS keeps their "Morning No-Joe" format with Gayle and Chuckles...

ABC: "GMA with George Stephanopolis" for three hours (and very little screen time for the ladies...

NBC" "Today w/Matt Lauer" (yes I'm just now thinking of the DoucheKing's name...whatever...) for four hours of his BS...and the ladies become his props and Hoda and KLG are shown the door...

CNN absorbs their dying younger sister...no more Robin, Natasha, JenWes, or any of the other lovelies in their stable...

Mornings is Candy Crowley from 6am til noon, Wolf Blitzer from noon to to four, AJ Hammer for two hours of entertainment BS...then the triumphant return of...wait for it...COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN. Four hours of his uber douchebagtoolery...then Piers Morgan from ten to midnight.

MSNBC...same old same old, except Joe becomes more like Chandler Bing, Mika becomes one with the Desk Monster, the young dudes (Willie Giest, etc) become older tools and the four senior citizens become Grumpier Old Douchebags...

FNC mysteriously gets their FCC license pulled..."Temporarily suspended while under investigation"...

"I've seen the future, baby...and it's murder" Leonard Cohen. "The Future".

(note: Whatever discussion happens here, this is what I call venting...I made every effort not to bash the ladies or start a political rant...just my opinion on the current morrning TV news landscape...I'm not sayin...I'm jus' sayin'...

Since FNC is cable, the FCC can't lift it's license.

The Feds could try lifting their press passes, but hopefully the other news outlets wil protest.

Just because FNC is cable doesn't mean their license to broadcast can't be revoked.

Someone in another thread mentioned that today marked one year since Kiran Chetry was let go (resigned from?) American morning. Would anyone else like to mention the talent that has left CNN since that timeframe?

Broadcast is over air, not cable. They might go for uplinks under that, but if the signal travels under fiber optics, FCC I don't think can stop it.

It doesn't matter whether its ABC, NBC, FNC or MTV. The owners of those networks(Disney, Comcast, News Corp, Viacom) are licensed by the FCC, and have to follow their rules and regulations. The "phone hacking" scandal in the UK had a U.S. ethics groups calling for the FCC to revoke News Corp's licenses. This is what the FCC chairman said about it.
Quote:
There is some precedent for pulling licenses, and FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski on Wednesday said he takes the News Corp. complaint “very seriously.”

"If any issues arise, the commission has an obligation, we would take it very seriously, to look at the record, look at the facts and apply the law," Genachowski said.
