Considering how difficult this is amongst news anchors (see this blowup back in April), this is a brave stance for him to take. He earns tons of credit. While Transparent isn’t limited to this aspect of his story, the personal details of his life poured out in the making of the book — and CNN has his back in this situation. Also, he is the youngest 45-year-old we’ve ever seen. (via the awesome apsies)
Not this crap again. Today in headlines that CNN apparently must write to get a rise out of people.

“This is outrageous and absolutely hypocritical. When you come to somewhere like Libya, you expect lies and deceit from the dictatorship here. You don’t expect it from the other journalists…” - CNN’s Nic Robertson regarding Fox News

rogueelemental asks: The reason Wolf Blitzer is still getting paid is because nobody has a name quite like his. Come on, his name is WOLF BLITZER.
» We say: If Wolf Blitzer was the name of an IPA you might find at some bar that carries a million craft beers, it might be OK. But the problem is, it’s the name of a journalist. And not a very good one at that. (Protip to Dogfish Head: Start selling a Wolf Blitzer IPA, stat.)
If you aren’t following Wolf Blitzer on Twitter this is the kind of insight you are missing.
Quality journalism.

Hat tip to this headline writer.
It appears that CNN is fishing for traffic with a post like this. Robert A.J. Gagnon’s post, by the way, follows a similar post by someone else who basically said the opposite thing. It’s the exact same reason that they have people from Mashable writing about Apple for them. Except that’s innocuous and this is dangerous.
I’m super-bitchin’ [and] I don’t believe myself to be an addict.Charlie Sheen • In the key quote in his whole rant with Piers Morgan, which was a big score for him because, well, he was sort of a surprise guest. This certainly is going to be a punch-up for Piers’ ratings, and of course, because the CNN host delves in the soft stuff like his predecessor Larry King did, he used the phrase “the Che Guevera of television” to describe Charlie. We want this on a T-Shirt, stat. source (via • follow)
Alright, so who wants to watch “In the Arena”? Mediaite reports that the weirdest relationship on television, CNN’s “Parker Spitzer,” is no longer with a female co-host. The Washington Post columnist will be leaving the show, and the show will be renamed on on Monday. Question of the day: Was Kathleen Parker just an excuse to ease Spitzer into his own show? source
