Lest we forget...

Speaking of Torres, this is the setup they decided to jerry-rig for Tiempo:

Ana appeared today:

I think people are confusing pointing out untruthful statements with open disdain. If an elected leader makes a statement that is contradicted by facts or by reporting, then it's a journalist's obligation to hold them accountable and say so. There was a period of time during and after the 2016 election when news outlets went out of their way to highlight "all sides" or "all points of view," even when one of them was clearly misleading or not supported by facts. We are starting to see more and more outlets, including CNN and others, be more proactive in speaking truth to power, which is why you see anchors being more aggressive in noting fact vs. fiction.

Lee is also doing weather from home.

I think Ana lives in Florida and flies in for Friday shows. Could be that she doesn't want to fly and they don't want to send a camera crew to her.

Tara Palmeri appears to have disappeared from ABC, only to have turned up as the host of a podcast about Jeffrey Epstein.

He won’t return to the weekend morning show but he will continue reporting through mid March. Unclear if the weekend morning show will do highlight reel or acknowledgement of his departure.

We're talking about this two-story mini city?

First, the CBS producers who posted the clip of that line of questioning should have known better. It was a small line of questioning, part of a much larger interview about Bryant and his life, and without context reduced an otherwise-good interview to a single moment. Bryant was accused of sexual assault, and in this Me Too era, a neutral look-back on his life would be incomplete without at least an acknowledgement. In the scope of the entire interview, that's all it was. But CBS chose to go for click bate, and it blew up in their face. Second, I expect you'd know better than to post something so dismissive. Gayle worked as a reporter and anchor at WUSA, WJZ, WDAF, and WFSB, long before joining CBS. She's qualified.

Strahan spoke to NYT about, among other things, his botched exit from LIVE. He clearly thinks Kelly was out of line. https://pagesix.com/2020/01/29/michael-strahan-on-past-tv-gigs-i-didnt-know-i-was-supposed-to-be-a-sidekick/

Matt Gutman has been suspended by ABC News for erroneous reporting during the live helicopter crash special report. He initially reported all four of the Bryant children were killed in the crash; he later issued a correction on air.

Abby Huntsman is leaving The View to work on her father’s campaign for governor in Utah. Friday is her last day.

Consistent with rumblings that the entire floor is undergoing major construction.

I don’t think props are in order, personally. CBS EN covered it for 10+ minutes of the 30 minute broadcast. How many times can you say ‘Iranian rockets struck an air base with US troops’ over and over again? That’s all that was known at the time of broadcast; anything more was speculation. If WNT carried the story for more than a third of the broadcast, it is consistent with its trend of leveraging the urgency of the news. Also, CBS and NBC immediately followed their evening newscasts with special reports, while ABC is airing normal programming.

This Week is being anchored from the Times Square GMA set.

Sonia Rincon of 1010 WINS will be reporting for Eyewitness News "over the next several days," according to NJ Burkett. I suspect she's filling the Andy Field holiday coverage role.

Pleased to see they are replacing him. I thought they might choose to only have one investigative reporter, which would have been a disservice to the community.

“As we come on the air tonight...”

Shooting promos, possibly.

Between that, her summer arm-block of the clueless passerby, and this moment that some of you might remember, she's due for a raise!

GMA will interview Ronan Farrow tomorrow about Catch & Kill.

I agree. The questions would have to be pointed. As for NBC affiliates airing the show, I see no issue. TODAY has reported on the Lauer issue.

Why would it tarnish her at all? Is she only supposed to have well-liked people on her show to talk about cooking and flowers? 60 Minutes correspondents interview unpopular people accused of crimes all the time, and press them on the details of the crimes they are accused of. Why shouldn't she be able to do the same?

The abrupt end to the main screen adjacent with the random solid blue behind Liz looked silly when they launched the set, and still looks just as silly.
