The Ticker: Friendly, Harris, Osteen…

> A new book about legendary CBS newsman Fred Friendly, “Friendlyvision,” is out next month, with a foreword written by Morley Safer. The biography, by Ralph Engelman, is the “first comprehensive account of Friendly’s life and work.”

> CNN Newsroom anchor Tony Harris is sort of like the anti-Rick Sanchez. He’s not happy about this new blog, and he doesn’t want to read your comments.

> Ahead of his sermon at Yankee Stadium later that day, mega-church leader Joel Osteen appears Saturday morning on CBS’ The Early Show. He’ll discuss “Night of Hope,” the first non-baseball event at the new ballpark.
