So you’re going to trust the New York Slimes over what PBS claimed on their very own website?  Somebody’s lying.  Or maybe both the Slimes and CPB are guilty of a little nose stretching.
Ah well, enjoy your little foot stamping histrionics.  What’s next on your Dial Twister Tantrum-A-Palooza?  I’m guessing you also have a fiercely heterosexual dislike of Sylvia Sidney Sweeney Todd.

I know, I know, piling on a horse that's been flogged to death but it is from America's Trusted News Source.

Cassidy was an announcer at WFAA in Dallas and was called into the studios on November 22, 1963.

Cassidy was also the guy who questioned Botch Casually why there were rules? in a knife fight??

 

Fortune Femister?  Eh, she’s never heard of me either.

From July 18…

How To Save NPR And PBS
1) During Pledge Week/Month/Year reanimate Mike and Goldie’s corpses.
2) Lean into Elmo’s newfound social media status as a Far Right Extremist Influencer to appeal to the untapped resources found on that side.  It’s worked for Andrew Tate and Count Dankula, why not own it?
3) Reach one hundred million dollars during one Pledge Break and we’ll shoot whoever is cutting Ken Burns’ hair live and on camera.
4) NPR has lost the rural listeners so pivot to the urrrrrban audience.  Change from NPR to NWA.  Car Talk?  Boost That Ride!  All Things Considered?  All Things Considered Why Dontcha Shut Yo Mouf!  Fresh Air with Terry Gross?  Fresh Beats with Dr. Dre!  
5) The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Any other prognostications you need, I’m your man.

He died same day as Ozzy, July 22nd, in his hometown of Rochester NY.    This is unbelievable.

Dying?
 

Not getting out of Rochester soon enough?

Kubrick wasn’t pleased with any of the one hundred plus takes so he decided, Bill O’Reilly-like, to do it live.  But a time wasting distraction was needed in order to set up the studio.  Hello Teddy.  Goodbye Mary Jo.

Why do you think “Neil” and “Buzz” left the LEM six hours before their scheduled EVA?  Kubrick had the light composition just right and went for it.
Good Lord that’s so stupid it’s almost believable.
”Buzz” would punch me out for it, though.

CBS no doubt thought they were getting the Comedy Central Colbert when they signed him.  The over-the-top right wing parody that actually was funny.  Sadly CBS got the earnest finger wagging scold who sniffed his own farts.
Mid 2020 during Lockdownpalooza Colbert inveighed against trusting any “cure” for the W**** H******** that evil Big Pharma had in the works.  Less than a year later there he is with the hypodermic needle costumed Juul Haalmeyer Dancers shimmying to The Vax-Scene.

Several stations had no backup programming to go to, and ended up showing error slates.
Surprisingly the error slates earned decent numbers in the overnight ratings.  CBS has bought thirteen episodes.
 

Are we absolutely certain the account wasn’t hacked??

ABC’s show poodle Muir was the dimbulb wearing a faux ABC fireman’s jacket (???) covering the Palisades fires last winter.  Okay, big deal.  Until he turned sideways revealing the clothespins cinching in the jacket to be more form fitting.  He’s been wearing two sizes too small t-shirts this week in Texas.
The show poodle really goes out of his way to prove the William Hurt character from Broadcast News was a role model.
Figures as The View is produced under the auspices of the News Department at ABC.

Currently reading “Turning Points” by Ray Argyle about the fifteen political campaigns that changed Canada. I’m more interested in the chapters dealing with the elections before 1957 as I’m not as familiar with those ones.
On deck is John le Carre’s “The Quest For Karla” omnibus publication of “Tinker Tailor…”, “Honourable Schoolboy” and “Smiley’s People”.  I don’t usually buy these editions as the pages are often cheap tissue paper but this was put out by le Carre’s publisher Knopf and is printed on good paper.  Plus for three bucks from the thrift store, it’s a bargain.  I’ve read them on separate occasions in the past and have decided to read all three in one go this summer.
Finally how about “War and Peace” by Tolstoy?  Over the winter I read Andrew Roberts’ bio of Napoleon and thought what the heck, let’s read the granddaddy of em all.  The Tolstoy was also three bucks in the thrift store.  
Oh, who am I kidding…”War and Peace”?  I’m using it as a doorstop to keep the bedroom door open when the window fan is on .
