Leno struggling to gain a 1.5 share

Craig Hansen — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:14:09 +0000

The grand experiment by NBC – moving late night king Jay Leno into prime time in order to cut back on costly dramas and save money – is now officially a failure. Sure, the network probably won’t change course this season; mainly because they would need five hours of prime time programming to take the place of Leno, and the network has very few hits waiting in the wings. This season.

But if the sale of NBC to Comcast goes through, as expected, perhaps things will change; if NBC orders an unusually high number of dramas to pilot this spring, you can bet Jay won’t be in prime time five nights a week next fall. Go, Comcast! Send this idiots who killed NBC on some permanent Orlando vacations.

NBC reporter calls Bush “monkey,” apologizes

I wonder if NBC reporter Erin Burnett will get some White House custom pens after apologizing to President Bush after calling him a “monkey” on the air. The comment, more than a mere slip of the lip, happened last week around the same time CNN aired its joke of a Republican debate in which so-called “undecided Republican voters” have been revealed to be nothing but a lot of Democratic operatives.

And yet, some idiotic MoveOn.org types want to seriously suggest that the media, by and large, has a conservative bias? Please; we have brains.

Also, according to a recent survey, Republicans report a higher rate of good mental health than do liberals or independents. Maybe that’s why, when our candidates do lose, we don’t need grief counseling. Instead, we learn from it and go on to battle another election.

All I know is, if Barack Obama were president, that “monkey” comment wouldn’t have been excused by a simple apology; she’d be on the permanently unemployed line!
