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. Zombies invade CBS News
How bad are things at CBS News? Page Six is reporting that professional dancers stormed the offices and forced the “CBS Evening News” staff to dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller:” “A CBS insider claimed morale is so low over Katie Couric's continued horrible ratings that executive producer Rick Kaplan plotted the pick-me-up after seeing a YouTube clip in which inmates of a Filipino prison grooved to the song.”
Maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t want to associate my news staff with Filipino prison inmates in any fashion.
And more: “A CBS News flack insisted, ‘Morale is actually so high, we not only produce a network news broadcast daily but we also have our own choreographer for good times. When morale is low, you hand out Kool-Aid. Everyone knows that.’”
That quote is so lame that it must’ve been made up. That, or CBS has just thrown in the towel.
