Why exactly it is wrong to point out flaws in a broadcast that is meant to inform the public, I don't really know. Many of the "fans" insist that this blog attacks Anderson himself, yet, if you read most of the posts, they admire Anderson's work but show how 360 has taken a nose dive. Perhaps if the producers took note of the skepticism and criticisms of the show, they would attempt to improve upon it instead of being "innovative" and messing with the tried and true method of presenting stories with pure journalistic non-opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118063093598753707.post-46496380463704208872007-09-07T23:06:00.000-04:002007-09-07T23:06:00.000-04:00"... where I come from, a man is NEVER ever descri..."... where I come from, a man is NEVER ever described as pretty.

You claim you're not a 'fanblog', yet you post pictures, videos and screencaps of Anderson, speculate wildly about him in comments, and then periodically pen the bashing 'oh we're so disappointed in you' post so you can claim you're not a fanblog.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah - you're all about excellence in journalism, I forgot. But where are all the other journalists? Where's Britt Hume or Brian Williams or (if you want to stick to CNN) John King or Susan Candiotti? Yeah, Christiane made passing reference to her name-saint Amanpour's recent series, but not so as anyone would be confused into thinking she actually <I>saw</I> it. Saw the ratings on TVNewser, is more like it. Oh, you want to pretend you saw it? Then where's the analysis of Christian groups' claims she practiced False Equivalence in her Christian segment? Where's the screencaps, the clips, the adoring fanvids?<BR/><BR/>Courtney admits she doesn't even watch 360 any more; why don't you blog what you DO watch? Or if you don't watch TV news at all, why don't you just blog current events and stop pretending to be an Anderson blog? (And don't even try to claim this isn't an Anderson blog but an 'excellence in journalism' blog - who else ever gets mentioned?)<BR/><BR/>And Christiane, if you want to be the Cooper Critic, reporting on every little error in fact, analysis and emphasis, go ahead and do it - there's plenty of other blogs bird-dogging a particular journalist's every move, like the PMS-y Olbermann Watch. But fair warning - you can't be both a hard-hitting, fact-checking critic AND toss out pics and videos for the fans to squee over without spawning rumors of schizophrenia.<BR/><BR/>...oh wait... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, pick a role and stick to it - fan or critic. As it is, you're just a mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118063093598753707.post-71230452303159985032007-09-03T15:38:00.000-04:002007-09-03T15:38:00.000-04:00I can't speak for anyone else, but where I come fr...I can't speak for anyone else, but where I come from, a man is NEVER ever described as pretty.

That's what his report looked like on Oprah too, but I was hoping he saved all the fresh and real reporting for his own show. That didn't happen, I'm dissapoined that they didn't have a more substantial show. 360 has been more down then up lately, and I agree that it's not all anderson's fault, but seeing his report on oprah, and I assume he has creative control over that, made me think it's as much his fault as his production team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118063093598753707.post-58355353680794254052007-08-30T17:01:00.000-04:002007-08-30T17:01:00.000-04:00I don't think anyone is bashing Anderson personall...I don't think anyone is bashing Anderson personally here.

Not everyone is "in love" with Anderson some of us, at one time, admired the work he was doing. Once upon a time 360 was fresh, unique and better than most news programs, but not anymore. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes its good for media people to hear negative things about their work because they will strive to do better. but with Anderson and 360 its like they are on a perpetual roller coaster, one day up another down. They just can't seem to find a happy medium.
