How many MSNBC-bashing items can MSNBC-basher Page Six squeeze into one column? At least three, it looks like. There's the Keith-Olbermann-threatens-to-quit item (unless he gets better security at the RNC, because he's afraid of assassination attempts); the everybody-hates-Luke-Russert item (Tim's son was driven around the DNC in a golf cart, [...]

But it's not like anyone is getting a bonus, either. [Portfolio] Permalink | post a comment | Add to del.icio.us | Digg Post tags: Apple, Bloomberg News, Obits, Steve Jobs[...]

Jim Romenesko's column for the Poynter Institute's homepage is, for the most part, the only reason to visit the site. Built for journalists, Romenesko's link tidbits are the talking points that keep industry chatter flowing. But after a redesign of Poynter's site, Jim & Co. find themselves subjected to more [...]

The Parents Television Council is ruining quality cable. Not because their cause is bad, exactly — we like protecting kids too! — but because networks like The CW realized they could turn all those wagging fingers into little dollar signs. How? By incorporating all the negative soundbites the PTC handed [...]

Can we really blame Solange Knowles for snapping on a Las Vegas news reporter for no reason? The woman is not used to giving interviews and the Beyonce and Jay-Z comparisons — even when they didn't actually happen the way she thought they did — have got to be annoying. [...]

"I feel weirdly more comfortable and relaxed when I'm out of the studio, which is a sanitized environment. You pick up on the energy of your surroundings. . . . It's much more like my old job. I can really loosen up." (That's here, there, on the right doing yoga [...]

In his first move since IAC was split into five companies earlier this month, Scrooge McDuck money scion Barry Diller has announced plans to launch a virtual tween world, called Zwinky Cuties. "In the real world girls always love to play with dolls and dress them up and have play [...]

We've been loaded up with powder and foundation for cable news interviews countless times, but this is a first: "Yesterday I was with a client who was appearing on FOX News as a Democratic spokeswoman. She was a guest on Studio B with Shepard Smith on the subject of a [...]

Pastor Rick Warren was the guy who moderated the debates where McCain's cone of silence fell off. Now the popular evangelical with odd taste in facial hair is getting his own magazine with the Reader's Digest people. Maybe! Everyone is keeping pretty mum about the possible project, which will center [...]

It's clear how ABC News feels about Denver police arresting producer Asa Eslocker for trying to record footage of Democratic senators meeting with VIP donors at a private gathering at the Brown Palace Hotel: They're pissed. That's why Brian Ross, whose investigative team Eslocker is on, makes a point to [...]

Perhaps during Michelle Obama's speech on Tuesday night, you accidentally placed your flask on your television stand, blocking the lower-right hand corner and blocking the logo of the cable network you were tuned to. Then it must have been pretty hard to tell whether you were getting spin from Fox [...]

We've come to the conclusions that the Lohan family can't survive without being involved in some sort of public feud. The latest was with America's hero, Anderson Cooper, but this time they're keeping it inside the family and battling father Michael Lohan. Oh boy. Upon news that Lindsay's girlfriend Samantha [...]

NBC is a jealous mistress. Among rumors that Michael Phelps is bedding Stephanie Rice (and whoever else he wants) the peacock station wants to draw their beloved cash-cow back into the warm bosom of their network. Fair enough, but couldn't they find a better program than Saturday Night Live to [...]

A DNC pass holder thought he was doing the world a service when he used his Pre-Convention pass to take YouTubers on a videotaped tour of Barack Obama's staging at Invesco Field, where tonight he will formally accept the Democratic party's nomination. Instead, he recorded footage that John McCain was [...]

MSNBC's internal fighting is far from over — nor is the reporting on it. We hear the Wall Street Journal's Rebecca Dana will have something up for tomorrow's paper (albeit leaning in the network's favor), which follows our own regular reports, as well as the Drudge-linked Politico story from Michael [...]

Aaron Sorkin, scribe of fast-paced quips and nervous political banter, might be writing a script about the history of Facebook, according to, um, Facebook. This whole "story" is based around the fact that some guy claiming to work for Aaron Sorkin created a Facebook group early this morning to do [...]

Pooping just seems to be the theme of the day. First there's the Kung Fu constipation collection, and in case you were still hungry, the Village Voice is willing to go all Pink Flamingos on you with a giant picture of feces smack dab on page 14. But because David [...]

Megyn Kelly is the worst kind of moron: tthe blond, perky, Republican kind. America's Newsroom is only watchable because it's fun to see all the sexual tension between Bill Hemmer and Kelly, but Hemmer needs to put a ball-gag on that woman before they're both axed for being too racist [...]

Phil Bronstein, the former San Francisco Chronicle editor who was attacked by a Komodo dragon while married to Sharon Stone, agrees with us: Jon Stewart coud use some new material. Says Phil: 'In a breakfast at the University of Denver, he's predictable. Yes, predictable! Right down to "the t-shirt, khaki [...]

You know it's officially a crisis of faith when even the comic book industry can't make a go of it in the Big Apple, the unofficial birth place of the modern superhero. Virgin Comics, which specializes in Indian culture serials and adaptable graphic novels for stars (which is why Jenna [...]

Here's Anderson Cooper taking a break from over-analyzing the DNC to uncomfortably chat with HuffPo's Rachel Sklar about his invented Jewish identity. Silver Fox says when he was a kid, he always wanted a bar mitzvah because all the other kids were having them. A few short years later, all [...]

If anyone saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the highlight of the film was Russell Brand's character, Aldous Snow. What could have been a one-dimensional role as a egotistical, sex-obsessed rock star was actually given depth and humor by Brand's portrayal of Snow as a recovering alcoholic with a little more self-awareness [...]

"In a last ditch effort to save his company, American Media CEO David Pecker late last night quietly launched a cash tender offer to buy out holders of $570 million in debt and refinance the tabloid publisher," Peter Lauria reports. For some bizarre reason, this isn't being described as a [...]

Never one to let MSNBC's turmoil pass by, regular rival Page Six highlights some of the recent feuds at the network, although they missed last night's Matthews-Olbermann fun because of print deadlines. It's been P6's regular duty to defend its corporate cousin Fox News and, more specifically, Bill O'Reilly, whose [...]

Well, at least you know where MSNBC and NBC stand on this whole DNC "civil war" going on between the regular folks and the crazed Hillary fans — the stations are firmly planted on the side of sensationalist journalism. While Republicans and Democrats are expected to snipe at each other [...]
