Off the Media: Clever Headlines, Kate Coe and Giuliani
What also stood out this week was these wince-inducing headlines on the OTM Web site:
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.
