What does Charles Gibson have in common with a sock puppet?

jpozners Icon Posted by Jennifer L Pozner

In replacing World News Tonight anchor Elizabeth Vargas with Charles Gibson, ABC claims the long-time GMA anchor will add the sort of gravitas (news speak for “He has a penis, and maybe a toupee”) needed to be a long-term heir to Peter Jennings. But for all of Jennings’ inaccuracies and problematic reports over the years […]

jpozners Icon Posted by Jennifer L Pozner

May 23rd, 2006

While this blog typically quotes women’s voices on the media, today we bring you a bit of trenchant instant analysis from Andrew Tyndall, editor of the weekly news monitoring Tyndall Report:

Vargas out, Gibson in at ABC’s World News Tonight

jpozners Icon Posted by Jennifer L Pozner

May 23rd, 2006

Just in: Charles Gibson, long-time coanchor of ABC’s Good Morning America, will replace Elizabeth Vargas (who has been sole anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight after her co-anchor, Bob Woodruff, was injured in Iraq early in 2006) when she goes on maternity leave at the end of this week.
By tapping Gibson, ABC ensures a […]

Stomping out independent theater

jpozners Icon Posted by Jennifer L Pozner

May 23rd, 2006

Having already infiltrated movies, scripted entertainment, reality TV, pop lyrics, music videos, video games and even news programming, advertisers are turning to the stage for their newest attempts at asinine product placements.
Apparently, the Brits are co-opting their favorite Bard’s territory in pursuit of tourism. As attendees of numerous theatrical performances around the world find […]

May 22nd, 2006

In a piece for Ms. magazine last spring, I wrote about the misogyny masquerading as irony in ABC’s Desperate Housewives. At the time, I intended to include a discussion of the racism imbedded in the show’s first season, but most of that was cut for space.
Depictions of people of color only got more problematic […]

Please believe me when I say that as a general rule I never cover the same topic twice in one day, especially when the topic is Kathleen Parker covering a spurious topic multiple times. That said, an observant reader points out to me that the champion of white rape suspects did it again. […]
