How Will Nets Cover Koran Burning?
The burning has drawn the attention of the TV news organizations, which have been covering it all week. Now the question is, how will they cover the event itself? We spoke to the networks to find out... Joe Scarborough to Write Opinion Column for Politico.com
The news was announced on "Morning Joe" by Politico's executive editor Jim VandeHei. Politico writers and editors are frequent guests on Scarborough's MSNBC show. VandeHei joked that Scarborough, "has a tremendous amount of self confidence and is committed to writing about obesity two times a month." Scarborough said what his column won't be: "I told Jim, if they are expecting a 'from the right column,' they won't get a 'from the right column' from me, just like they won't get a 'from the left' column from Michael Kinsley." How Fox News Channel's Jennifer Griffin Survived Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Fox News Channel correspondent Jennifer Griffin writes on FoxNews.com how she beat the odds -- surviving triple negative breast cancer. I discovered my lump, if you can call a nine centimeter tumor a lump. It's really more the size of a grapefruit. I discovered it when I was weaning my son, Luke, when he was six months old. As my breasts deflated and the milk dried up, it became clear there was something very hard growing inside me. I had thought it was mastitis, a blocked milk duct. So did my doctors. At first they told me to go home and massage it and put hot compresses on it, and to come back in a week. In my heart I knew something was wrong, but I never dreamed it would be breast cancer. So, how did she beat it? The Scoreboard: Tuesday, September 725-54 demographic: (L +SD)

Morgan has no intention of aping the competition, or using his new platform to push a political agenda. "I have a lot of opinions, do I want to shove them down my viewer's throats? No, there are enough people doing that on cable news at 8 or 9 o'clock at the moment," Morgan says. "I don't want people to view me as a political animal, I don't put my own politics into it. CNN's one objective with the new schedule is to be provocative, aggressive and ballsy, and to seek out the truth." Morgan's new boss, CNN/US president Jon Klein, echoed that point: "I think you have a lineup of fearless, aggressive journalists who will ask tough questions throughout the evening, they will hold public officials accountable," Klein says. "Having Piers as part of a lineup that includes Anderson [Cooper], Kathleen [Parker] and Eliot [Spitzer] on top of that, it is a lineup that is beholden to no side, you can't find that in primetime in cable news." Morgan is also not particularly concerned about the competition. He compares the cable news landscape to late night television, where all the hosts have the same format, and cover the same topics every day... often each other: Church's Planned Koran Burning is Hot Topic on TV News
Nightline's Terry Moran traveled to Gainesville yesterday to interview Pastor Terry Jones who is behind the "Burn a Koran Day." And today, Williams talked with Gen. Petraeus who said, "such an act would jeopardize the safety of our soldiers and our civilians," adding "We're concerned that the images from the burning of a Koran would be used in the same way that extremists used images from Abu Ghraib, that they would in a sense be indelible. They would be in cyberspace forever." A rough search on TVEyes shows the story has become a leading topic on the cable news channels. It's been mentioned 117 times in the last 24 hours (since 4pmET Tuesday) -- the most mentions on HLN followed closely by MSNBC, with the least amount of coverage on Fox News. The question now is, how will the TV news networks cover the planned burning and how much, if any, will they show? We're asking... After the jump, Moran's story from Nightline... Bret Baier and Carl Cameron to Moderate Connecticut Candidate Debates
Baier will host an October 4 U.S. Senate face-off between Democrat Richard Blumenthal and Republican Linda McMahon. Cameron will moderate an October 5 gubernatorial match-up between Republican Tom Foley and Democrat Dan Malloy. The debates are being sponsored by the Hartford Courant and Fox Connecticut. Evening News Ratings: Week of Aug. 30
