A news head rush
Well, there's been a lot going on in the past 24 hours, almost too much to keep up with. First off, NBC announced it is moving the "Tonight Show" and a grip of other shows out of its Burbank facility and across the border to Universal City. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is anticipating that the move will pump $3 billion into Los Angeles' economic veins. Burbank officials are glum about the move, and a few of them told me that NBC didn't bother to inform them about it before yesterday's announcement, although the move has long been talked about and the announcement came as no big surprise. Our own David Kronke and Gregory J. Wilcox did a great job of covering the announcement.
And there's more big news, as the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday voted 27-21 to recognize the Armenian Genocide. When the same proposal was approved by the Foreign Affairs Committee in 2005, the Republican House leadership blocked it from getting to a full House vote. Now it looks like a bill that would recognize the Armenian Genocide is not only heading for a full House vote, it looks like it will pass. Check out our article on the vote here.
