Media-crity

Yeah, so I updated the layout a bit. I’m still tweaking it, but the basic structure is there and works so I’m happy. I also like my apple.

This is pretty funny. MSNBC anchor Alison Stewart got married recently and honeymooned in Rome. She wrote a blog here about how the TomKat hoopla invaded her honeymoon. This part in particular amused me.

The fates were also throwing a karmic boomerang my way. I did, after all, hound the two of them for an interview on the day they got engaged when I was reporting for the “Today Show.” And just three weeks earlier, I’d donned a wig to play a sedated version of Katie Holmes on Halloween for “Weekend Today.” So, they infiltrated my honeymoon. Okay. We are even.

In other blog news, the NY Times did a fascinating story about the college kid behind TVNewser. Isn’t that kind of the dream, to be writing a little blog to amuse yourself, and then find yourself vaulted to infamy, being handed the personal cell phone numbers of network execs and getting invitations to sit on panels on CNN? Okay, maybe it’s just my dream.

Aaaaand, to bring it back to TomKat, here’s a hilarious post about MSNBC’s “breaking news” reports on the big wedding day. I love MSNBC probably more than the average person, but this is ridiculous!
