I don't know about his journalistic credentials but he has certainly been way over dramatic today. He continuously puts himself at the centre of the story which any good journalist would know should be the opposite. Anyway I suppose it's the American way these days and people have become accustomed to the reporter being more important than the story.


It is the typical American thing but with Cuomo it's even more evident. At least they didn't send their ultimate, me,me,me drama queen Don Lemon.


Save Don for New Year's Eve Laughing

CNN Talk will have a special edition from midnight or when the Brexit bill is passed or not. Max Foster and the usual panel are already on Abingdon Green.

Also noted that when they showed an ITV News report this evening, the anchor mentioned "ITV News" but had an "ITN NEWS" logo in the top right corner.

I think that might be a contractual requirement, as if I remember correctly, the agreement CNN have is with ITN rather than with ITV. They have shown Channel 4 News reports before, and credited it vocally to ITN's Channel 4 News.

And the ITN/CNN relationship goes back decades. In the early 1990s, complete reports from News at Ten and Channel 4 News were seen all the time on CNN International. (This was quite a change compared to 1980, according to Reese Schoenfeld, the first head of CNN. When the network was founded, both the BBC and ITN were so hostile to the American upstart that they wouldn't allow CNN access to the Eurovision News Exchange in London, so CNN had to set up its first European bureau in Rome, where RAI was much more cooperative.)

That Cuomo guy is the worst of them. Putting himself and CNN at the centre of the story instead of just reporting like he should be.

Quite a funny bit on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee - if a little harsh... (Starts around 2:05)

Cando, London Lite and Rkolsen gave kudos

Brooke Baldwin and the sexist guy from FOX Sports Radio. Incredible, where do FOX get these people from?

They don't merely find them, they cultivate them too. The whole corporate ethos of Fox is very much on the extreme right wing, and they infuse it into everything they do. Chris Myers even refers to a line drive down the right side as "The Rush Limbaugh Drive, Down the right, and fair." If that isn't an example of politicising sport for a reason so baffling that it evades human thought, then I don't know what is.

Technically, the radio guy, Clay Travis is not a Fox employee - - Fox Sports Radio is owned by iHeart Radio (previously Clear Channel communications), iHeart is just leasing the name from Fox Sports. But he does contribute to Fox Sports programming

iHeart Radio also has a lot of right-wing Conservative talk radio stations too. Just the breeding ground for the misogynist presenters, just like Fox.
