A Tweet Revealing Agassi's Meth Use Sends Couric Back to Las VegasThe NYTimes has an interesting story about how the news of tennis great Andre Agassi's admission of using crystal meth was revealed. Agassi writes about using the drug in his autobiography, Open. Time Inc. bought the rights to run excerpts in Sports Illustrated and People. But the crystal meth news was inadvertently revealed in a Tweet by a Sports Illustrated reporter a day before the magazines published. The tweet was removed about 25 minutes after it went live, but, not surprisingly, the news had already spread around the world. Katie Couric had the exclusive TV interview with Agassi, which aired in two parts last night on "60 Minutes." The Times' Tim Arango writes, "Apparently, neither Ms. Couric nor her producers decided to ask Mr. Agassi directly about the crystal meth use, although he brought up drug use in general when discussing his depression. But once the news broke, and the media storm ensued, Ms. Couric went back to Las Vegas on Tuesday to ask Mr. Agassi about it and his take on the public's reaction." 'Week in Advertising' Turns 50This week, AgencySpy's "Week in Advertising" series turned 50 weeks old. To celebrate, TVNewser helped out with this special anniversary episode that proves host Matt Van Hoven is actually sort of funny if you cut everything he says into tiny pieces and take it out of context. Plus, if you enjoy the special "Mad Men Recap of Recaps," you can also find it by itself here. You can watch "The Week in Advertising" on the the AgencySpy sidebar each Tuesday and see the archive of previous episodes here.

Hood Coverage: 'The Media Guard Has Changed'Bill O'Reilly called out The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, and CNN over some of their coverage of the Ft. Hood massacre -- which, in O'Reilly's view, blamed the wars instead of the killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, for the rampage. "The guy is either a Muslim terrorist or a crazy person. That's it. Those are the choices," said O'Reilly of Hasan. "We did 5 million viewers at 8 O'Clock, wiped out CNN and MSNBC, wiped them off the face of the earth. The guard has changed in this country. The media guard has changed. And you know why people came in here, because they knew they were going to get an honest story. They weren't going to get spin that Hasan is some kind of post-traumatic syndrome victim. Some kind of victim of a terrible public policy gone awry. They're not going to get that..... I almost said a bad word. They're not going to get that garbage here." O'Reilly's guest Bernie Goldberg also gave a new name to the mainstream media: |
