They’re Running Scared!

March
28

It seems The Journal News/RNN-TV partnership has the gang over at Cablevision’s News 12 a little worried.

The Westchester County Bee-line buses are carrying an ad that tells the tale. “Stay With Westchester News 12,” the ad says over photos of weatherman Joe Rao, sports reporter Walt Fowler and anchors, Brian Conyebeare and Janine Rose.

Yours truly will have a column-like piece that will air tonight. Tune in at 5 p.m. I’m supposed to appear early into the 5:30 p.m. time slot.

We’re on Channel 19, a “lucky seven” channels up from you-know-who.

    Dear Phil

    If it wasn’t for that damned buzzmonger Richard French, with all his attempts to spin up every banality to a crisis, a brouhaha, or a conspiracy, I’d say RNN +TJN seems like a marriage made not quite in hell, but definitely not in heaven. You might call the new composite thing PNN (Purgatory News Network).

    What you fine Real Journalists (from TJN) have to look out for, is the video-pride thing. I’ve seen quite normal people turn into raving idiots as soon as Bob Barker asks them to “Come on Down”, and RNN is going to be trolling for whichever of you paper people can throw Anna Nicole-style blood, guts, sex, & innuendo around, just like the French Dynasty loves.

    So the first Journal News reporter to do a Rosie O’Donnell and prove that Spiro Agnew Nixon blew up the Twin Towers, is probably gonna get a 2-hour prime time slot over there on Tuesdays & Thursdays, for the life of the network.

    That’s where you have to resist. Bite down hard, on the molars near the back of your jaw and repeat:...” I am the REAL newsman…..they are the FAKE news channel” over and over, lest you succumb, and get sent out for Botox, hair implants , and a new nose, prior to ascending to Anchor-dom,
    as the CNN star (Conspiracy News Network)
