What’s Hot/What’s Not: 11/08/09

What’s Hot:

Fort Hood Massacre – It dominated the news coverage the latter half of the week as the nets went wall to wall covering the mass shooting at Fort Hood…

White House muzzling Democrat consultants off FNC? – This story sprang up and was quickly doused by the White House. But is the story really over or will we hear more?

What’s Not:

2009 Election – While it generated ratings for some (FNC) and not so much for others (CNN), the Emperor was scantily clad as there wasn’t really a lot to report since only a smattering of races were being covered. The nets overhyped an event that wasn’t that important nationally, no matter what they say…

You win, no, we take it back… – MSNBC through a series of mistakes was put in the unfortunate position of having to recall a prediction of a Mike Bloomberg win only to re-predict the win later on.

Tunnel Vision – When one accuses another of tunnel vision, one should make sure they aren’t suffering from their own case of tunnel vision.
