Off the Media: Clever Headlines, Kate Coe and Giuliani

giuliani_to_run.jpgOK, we may be giving too much significance to just one segment on this week's On the Media, but since it's sister-blogger Kate Coe from our own FishbowlLA, we can't help but crow. OTM's Bob Garfield interviews Kate about her story for the L.A. Weekly on how little coverage a black-on-white Halloween crime received.

What also stood out this week was these wince-inducing headlines on the OTM Web site:


  • "Clink Stained Wretch" (on San Francisco reporter Josh Wolf's imprisonment for refusing to turn over video he took of a demonstration).
  • "A Zion in the Sand" (on whether the pro-Israel lobby is really preventing honest debate on Israel).
  • "Murder Ink" (on LA Times crime reporter Jill Leovy's quest to cover the crimes in The Homicide Report)."
  • "Twist of Hate" (for Kate's story).

Last week (which we haven't covered, yet) there was a nice piece reminding us about how disliked Giuliani was before he became "America's Mayor" on 9/11 (of which The Onion today names him president). A lot us remember when Rudy was not the beloved rock of 9/11, but rather an overly-controlling, press-loathing, distrustful, nightclub hating ... Remember? Well, OTM notes that Mr. Presidential Candidate kid-from-Brooklyn might have to face some uncomfortable questions, again.


OTM was also caught in its own echo chamber with Garfield on an ABC 20/20 episode about all that (whoa!) Internet VID-EE-0H stuff, in which he talked about soldiers posting their own videos of the war. Then, lo and behold, a story about video of a soldier's death shot by embedded reporter Damien Cave, of the New York Times appeared on OTM. We're not sure which was chicken, which egg.

And another piece from Garfield was about how the Justice Department, by investigating who leaked a piece of information, is essentially confirming its truth. Thanks Bob. Now we know.
