Media Minutiae

Tough Call | Thanks for That | No Fly Zone

GalleyCat: Coldplay has recorded an original song for the new Hunger Games movie, just in case you needed another reason not to see it.

TVSpy: Amelia Earhart is not related to Amelia Earhart. Carry on.

FishbowlDC: Ah, the sweet, mature sounds of journalists fighting over the Internet.

GalleyCat: A visit from the terrorism task force is about as fun as it sounds.

Quiet Little One | Calling Them Out | Faced and Booked

AllTwitter: A Twitter troll is silenced when someone says they’re going to tell the troll’s mom about the mean tweets. Sounds about right.

TVNewser: “This chick is so batshit” is an almost accurate way to describe Anthony Weiner’s latest sexting partner. So what does that say about Weiner?
