MSNBC's self-congratulatory coverage of itself last night was really pretty lame. Keith Olbermann had News Div President Steve Capus on who was, near as I could tell, taking part in some kind of recreational activity on a Craftmatic Bed.
It's not polite to talk with your mouth full, Steven. Didn't your mommy teach you that?
"What were they celebrating," you ask?
After getting a package from the person responsible for the worst shooting on American soil in our history, this Paragon of Virtue, decided to share this information with the police and in doing so, held off on reporting it for a few hours.
Better buy your ticket to Stockholm, boys! Desmond Tutu better get his ass out of the way! The Do-Gooders are coming!
It's been a busy April for Capus, though. Just last week, he was on with Keith and other NBC hosts throwing his shoulder out, patting himself on the back for making the tough call that it was time to get rid of Imus just after all the major advertisers pulled out.
If this is the beginning of a trend, a sort of Real World view of the newsroom and the decisions they make, I'm mildly interested, but not if it turns into the informational equivalent of wartime propaganda.
They are up to something over there at the Peacock, though. There are times when I work at home and have seen their "behind the scenes" shots when a producer with headphones on whispers to the
host what is coming up. When I first saw this, it struck me as ripping off SNL more than MTV, though. I was wating for Contessa Brewer to walk into the back room and break into song with someone!
