Big day here at 42 Inch Television, as I was asked to participate in an online discussion for the New York Times "Room For Debate" blog. Hooray! If you were always curious about my opinions on network news, wonder no longer! Look, an excerpt!Think of it this way: Word that Diane Sawyer would replace the retiring Charles Gibson on ABC’s “World News,” was already disseminated — and the story already dissected — before it was even mentioned on the nightly programs. (That it was suspiciously absent from Mr. Gibson’s broadcast is a story for another day.) Network news can’t even break stories about themselves and yet we’re supposed to think that they still hold some form of relevance to the populace?You can find the rest of the post by clicking here. Feel free to comment and, as always, follow me on Twitter (@42inchtv) to keep track of all of my articles and random thoughts.
