Last Night's News Friday 2/27/09
I know I should be filing every day like the Slate's Yesterday's Papers. Unfortunately, anomie sets in
after watching three virtually identical network news shows each night, each telling me that I will
shortly be homeless and broke.
Friday 2/27/09
McCain approved of something Obama said! The President announced he planned substantial troop reductions over the next 19 months. Some Democrats objected to the new
timetable (he’d campaigned on an exit 16 months after the elections), but they
kept their complaints to a low mutter. Martha Raddiz on ABC had a look at the marching orders. She said the bulk of the troop pullout will come next year.
ABC and NBC led with Iraq, and the windup of a war that has cost us dearly for
7 years. CBS teased Iraq but didn’t get to the pullout story until 5 minutes
in. They chose the bailout over the pullout.
The economy story is tough for TV. There are more than three bullet points in President Obama’s plans and graphics guys seem to freak out when you have to put more type than that on the screen. Best thing for you to do is buy a newspaper (while there still are newspapers) or read the bill on the website at recovery.gov.
Everybody seemed intrigued with the idea that Ryanair was
going to start charging for restroom use in flight. Nobody noticed this was a thinly
disguised try for free publicity by Michael O’Leary who has done this sort of
thing before. He once proposed a very special amenity for business class passengers.
CBS stories about mismanagement at the FEMA office in New Orleans. CBS reported there were 80 complaints filed by the staff, accusing management of delaying Katrina aid. The Chief of Staff, Doug Witwer is being transferred to Texas thanks to Armen Keteyian’s investigation.
Incidentally, if you click on that story you’ll have to sit through a promo for CBS News emphasizing Emmies that they have won. I like NBC’s on air promo better which says times are tough, but Americans are strong and we take our job seriously. They even work in the word “hope.”
Steve Hartman reported on a kid with a cookie company on his Assignment America segment. Disney’s Suite Life of Zack and Cody had the same story line.

Certitude is not the test of certainty. We have been cocksure of many things that were not so.

Men may be popular without being ambitious, but there is hardly an ambitious man who does not try to be popular.

Yet God is so one that He admits of distinction, and so admits of distinction that He still remains unity.
