New CBS Blog,
2005-07-12
By the end of the summer, CBS will debut a blog called "Public Eye" that will create a "candid and robust dialogue between CBS News journalists and the public," the network announced today.
Think they'll have an open comments section? Me neither
The press release calls it "a move unprecedented among CBS's peers in broadcast and cable television journalism." The blog will be edited by media writer Vaughn Ververs. "Ververs will serve as the conduit between the public and CBS News to take viewers and users inside the news gathering, production and decision-making process via the use of original video and outtakes, interviews with correspondents and producers, and input from independent experts, among other methods."
This should be fun

Conduit... that's sort of like a sewer, isn't it? A way of piping shit from one place to another?

"...to take viewers and users inside the news gathering, production and decision-making process..."

I have about as much interest in that-- and about as much stomach for it-- as I would in becoming a proctologist. Probing CBS's news "process", probing some dude's diseased rectum... what's the difference?

"...via the use of... input from independent experts, among other methods."

Like the experts who vouched for those Bush National Guard memos?

No thanks.
