Why Didn't Anyone Think Of This Before? CBS Proudly Announces "Journalists-of-Talent" Program

Talent... now there's an idea. I wish I could bottle all the creativity and outside-the-box thinking at CBS and sell it! I'd make a freakin' fortune!

Asses of Jack, they are.

Now that's funny.

Now see, I just feel lazy, 'cause you put a LOT more effort into this than I did... or CBS did, for that matter.

CBS News has chosen the first two participants for its "journalists-of-talent" training program, a program designed to develop a pool of highly qualified producers and correspondents

Is this some kind of a joke? Besides being pretty and having great teeth, what kind of "talent" does it take to mouth lines from a teleprompter or watch someone else do it and say, cut?

I've gotten a sneak peek at the guest speakers list:

You've omitted Stephan Glass of Vanity Fair, which, of course, was "The in-flight magazince of Air Force One" during the Clinton years.

Rats! That's a MUCH better idea than my "People who Suck" campaign :(

Posted by: S. Weasel on August 4, 2005 11:26 AM

Actually they stole your idea, Weasel.

They just changed the name for leagal reasons

If you follow the link lurking behind the asterisk on Confederate Yankee's story, you get a Drudge story that's a bit different than what CW wrote.

The CBS program is actually a "journalists-of-color training program". Methinks CW was pulling a spoof of the story.

It's worth a chuckle to read that one of the two winners in this "journalists-of-color training program" is James Black.

Low-T High-Calorie Potato Brian Stelter: "Matthew Dowd is no longer an MSNBC political analyst, according to a network source."
Matt Dowd, former Disney Groomer Corporation Political Director and John McCain advisor (of course), is the one who blamed Charlie Kirk's shooting on the real assassin, Charlie Kirk, claiming that Charlie's "hateful words lead to hateful actions."
Trump speaks about the "heinous assassination" of Charlie Kirk, notes the left relentlessly demonized him until they radicalized an assassin to kill him
"For years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to NAZlS... this type of language is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the terrorism we're seeing in our country today.
And it must stop RIGHT NOW!"
Argentinian PM Javier Millei: "The left is always, at all times and places, a violent phenomenon full of hatred."
I disregard their hate. It's the violence that we object to. And we will begin objecting to it with force.
Update: Kash Patel says the person of interest has been interrogated and then released. Wrong guy, I guess.
But as the hours pass without a real suspect, and with the FBI apparently interrogating uninvolved people, I begin to fear the assassin has escaped. I mean, they don't seem to be following a breadcrumb trail, they seem genuinely baffled.
Karol Sheinin: I can confirm the person of interest questioned by the FBI is Zachariah Ahmed Qureshi.
If this is the guy -- apparently he also interned at Heritage.
Update: Source says he's been released? Wrong guy?

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.
