I work for the media monster you speak of and we LIVE for these kinds of stories. Every lead in about the earthquake started with 'a mere month away from the 10th anniversary of 9/11 leaves new yorkers feeling vulnerable and afraid. Today's earthquake did nothing to alleviate those fears...'
Its just the business we are in. Obviously we are going to make a big deal out of the earthquake because it new York hasn't had one in over 100 years. And if every other network carries it then WE look stupid for not covering it. I agree we talk about it too much And whip people into a frenzy, especially with the upcoming hurricane. But that shouldn't be a surprise to you. When we have a story that affects a large amount of people our ratings go up. No ifs ands or buts about it. The media will ALWAYS be like this and there is no point in complaining about it. The news is a business just like PR and we need to make money. If we don't report
On it we lose viewers.
We need a Fifth Estate
This country sorely needs a Fifth Estate to police the Fourth. Whether it's new, sports, entertainment or, as is the case this week, weather, the media beast increasingly opts for hyperbole and superlatives over objectivity and balance. Take local New York media. Please. They're in seventh h...
with ten days left of the world i'll travel all over the globe :)
Ten days to go!
According to Bible scholar and Family Radio personality Harold Camping, Judgement Day will occur on May 21, 2011. (Note: Harold & Co. spell judgment with an “e” so RepMan is compelled to honor their mistake. But me wonders if their math is off too…?) That's right. We have 10 days until “The Ra...

Ask not what your cable programmer can do for you; ask what you can do with your remote control
'The Kennedys', a new mini-series on ReelZChannel, is to cable programming what the Bay of Pigs was to JFK's administration: an unmitigated disaster. While it may provide a momentary ratings hiccup for the totally anonymous network, the series itself is abysmal. The plot's predictable, sophom...
wow, I never thought I'd see the day when I learned a new fact about GWTW..fiddle dee dee.

Five Things We Can Learn from Elizabeth Taylor
Today's guest post is by Julie Farin, (@JulieFarin) With the death of legendary actress and activist Elizabeth Taylor, so goes the end of an era – the Golden Age of Hollywood – when a handful of studio moguls, like Louis B. Mayer, Darryl Zanuck, and Jack Warner controlled careers, when glamor...
I think this is a great point - I've heard a little bit about lockerbie in regards to libya and moammar (we are on a first name basis as it were)
Americans need to be more aware of the world and less interested in huckabee slamming portman and stupid charlie sheen. How is that news? and why do we KEEP seeing it on EVERY major news channel? it's ridiculous
Remember Lockerbie
Cheers to Chris "RepMan, Jr." Cody for the idea. Heathrow passport control agents aside, I adore London. A lifelong Anglophile, I've always enjoyed LondonTown's rich mix of history, cultural diversity and trendiness. As I flit about from appointment to appointment, I take the opportunity to ask ...

be that as it may - tell mick never to send a naked pic of himself again , you never know when felines will leak it

What sets your organization apart?
Differentiating a public relations firm is no easy task since we all pretty much offer the same set of services. Sure, the holding companies will play the size card and boutiques will tout their category expertise while we midsized firms will sell a ‘best of both worlds’ solution. Still, it’s...
William henry harrison, my bad! He's my fav.
What would Lincoln have done?
Believing that President Obama’s speech in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings was quite possibly his best moment to date, I decided to ask an historian-in-the-making how other past presidents might have handled the very same situation. The following guest blog is authored by Chris ‘Repman, Jr...

I totally agree, Aaiello. There is no "correct" way to parent. I think that as long as your kids are happy and healthy then the parent has done a great job.

well it looks like Chua is already retreating from her "chinese are superior mothers" approach. Based upon thousands of negative e-mails and blogs she's now saying that she'll allow her daughters to go to sleepovers and pursue extracurricular activities other than the piano or violin. maybe she's seen the light.

thanks for the comment book and blog geek! I consider myself one of the luckiest kids out there - not only do I have the best parents, but we have such a great relationship that I feel comfortable going to either with any problems I have. Chris and I are SO lucky to have grown up the way we have and I wouldn't change it for anything.
