CNN/HLN Plans for Michael Jackson MemorialAnderson Cooper, Larry King, Don Lemon and Soledad O'Brien will host coverage live from Los Angeles, with Campbell Brown and Roland Martin anchoring live from New York, starting at NoonET Tuesday on CNN and simulcast on CNN International. > Earlier: The Admiral Works His Magic...Wall
With John King anchoring State of the Union from Los Angeles today, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff took it upon himself to use the Magic Wall to describe the situation for U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. CNN producer Josh Braun trained Admiral Michael Mullen to use the wall and he not only switched the graphics but also telestrated the maps. CNN says it's the first time someone of Admiral Mullen's stature got interactive with the wall as part of a segment. Saturday Jul 04, 2009

CNN Lawyers Get Tough With Staff Over Michael Jackson Footage
TVNewser has learned the CNN legal department sent out an email to the staff today in which they announced that they are expecting lawsuits over the network's unauthorized use of Michael Jackson footage over the past several days. The email goes on to say that if a violation results in legal action against CNN, the person(s) responsible "may feel the financial effect in year-end bonuses." A CNN spokesperson tells TVNewser, "There are always ongoing conversations to make sure we are following appropriate practices." And with so many hours already filled with so much video of Michael Jackson, the rights-holders of the video will no doubt cash in on their property -- when the companies pay for usage or through lawsuits against those who don't.

Dana Milbank vs. Nico Pitney: It's On.This morning on CNN's Reliable Sources, the Washington Post's Dana Milbank and Huffington Post's Nico Pitney faced off over Pitney's question last week at Pres. Obama's news conference. Milbank's point: "I believe that whether it's Nico Pitney, with 'The Huffington Post,' or whether it's Carl Cameron, with Fox News, the White House should not be calling somebody the night before saying, we are going to call on you if you ask a question on a particular subject asked in a certain way." Pitney held his own trying to explain the White House involvement, but then the conversation turned to Milbank's reporting during the Bush administration. At one point, host Howard Kurtz said, "You two are going to have to take this outside." A CNN edited version of the segment below: Saturday Jun 27, 2009
Is "Fusion" a Stretch or the New Metric?DailyFinance's Jeff Bercovici takes an alternative look at the second quarter cable news ratings race which ends tomorrow. The idea? There's more than one screen on which to consume a network's news. "We used to be a television business," Jack Wakshlag, head of research for Turner Broadcasting tells Bercovici, whose site is run by AOL, about to be spun off from CNN's parent, Time Warner. "We see our future in terms of being a multi-platform media company." As it happens, Nielsen, the ratings firm, recently started tracking such a metric. It's called Nielsen Fusion, and it combines viewership and online usage data. The Fusion rankings for April show CNN with a commanding lead over both MSNBC and Fox News when it comes to reach among all viewers. (That's looking at the full day, not just primetime.) CNN reached 125.3 million people in April, versus 105.5 milllion for MSNBC and 104.3 million for Fox. And FNC's response, "Apparently the sheer embarrassment of getting beat by both Headline News and MSNBC along with the continued implosion of Campbell Brown and Anderson Cooper has led CNN to its latest act of desperation," a Fox News spokesman tells Bercovici. "We wish Jack well in continuing to defend their battle for fourth place." CNN's Weekend Michael Jackson Special
The CNN Presents documentary airs tonight and tomorrow night at 8pmET and 11pmET. The documentary includes new interviews with music artist Usher and producer and close family friend Rodney Jerkins who collaborated with Jackson on his last finished album. Thursday Jun 25, 2009

John King: Father's Day and Fenway
Said King: "One of the things every father likes to do is...take their kids to the ballpark. And this right here is a picture a few years back in what I call heaven, Fenway Park. Noah King and Hannah King, this was in April. As you can see, we're bundled up. It can be cold at Fenway." Friday Jun 19, 2009
Campbell Brown "Breakout Star"
Forbes writes, "News organizations are generally loathe to allow their on-air talents to venture into entertainment, but that path is probably there for Brown if she wants it." Brown tells TVNewser, "I am immensely flattered but, sadly, I fear my talents are limited to good old fashioned journalism." (via ICN)
