The Ticker: Ober, Russert, Noose…

> Former CBS News president Eric Ober is moving to Vault.com as Senior VP of television and video. Ober will join his former CBS colleague Erik Sorenson who is CEO of Vault.com.

> Drudgereport has an item related to last night’s debate on MSNBC. With the headline, “Clinton inner-circle blame ‘unfair’ moderator Tim Russert.” Clinton’s advisers claim Russert “bordered on the unprofessional” in his questioning of Sen. Clinton.

> The CNN Special Investigations Unit production of The Noose — An American Nightmare will now air tomorrow night at 8pmET. CNN’s Kyra Phillips “investigates the shocking history of the noose” and its recent re-emergence. The special was scheduled to air last week, but was pre-empted due to coverage of the California wildfires.
