David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Alberto Gonzales, we hardly knew ye (today on TV)
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned today, putting an end to a reign of error, Constitution shredding and possible malfeasance and corruption that was the subject of bipartisan Congressional revulsion – until Bush appoints his replacement, that is.
But what’s been on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News and apparently for much of the morning? The Michael Vick infomercial hawking dog food from China. As appalling as Vick is, was it really necessary for all three networks to carry the bloviating statements from Atlanta Falcons management?
Nicely played, “news” networks. Hey, we hear Owen Wilson’s in the hospital – get to it, willya? Then you can ignore Gonzales altogether.
* UPDATE: CNN thoughtfully interrupted its Vick coverage momentarily to deliver one of those unrevealing he-said/she-said reports that passes for journalism these days: Democratic apparatchik: “Good riddance;” Republican apparatchik: “There’s no evidence of any wrongdoing.” (Hard to get evidence when no one in the Administration can be bothered to testify before Congress, doofus; anyway, that’s pretty much what die-hard Falcons fans were saying about Vick.) Then back to file footage of Vick walking and talking.
