@TheCinesthetic Wrong movie to launch at Christmas. The idea was supposed to be counter programming against feel good movies. But turns out people want feel good at Christmas.

@S2catz @BlueBoxDave @HowardKurtz That’s why they include the producers’ names on the opening backdrop. Because the producers do the journalism. Try learning a little about how the world actually works before being so generous with your ignorance of such matters.

@S2catz @BlueBoxDave @HowardKurtz That’s how TV news works. The producers do the journalism. At best, the on-camera ”talent” is an editor. But there’s still a team behind the anchor. At worst, he‘s just reading someone else’s reporting. Every Ted Baxter has a Murray Slaughter, Mary Richards and Lou Grant.

@S2catz @BlueBoxDave @HowardKurtz He didn’t do the investigating. His producers did. What Scott Pelley did was focus on things like how he should raise an eyebrow or take off his glasses so he looked like a serious journalist.

@TheCinesthetic Jake Kasdan. Sofia Coppola. Nic Cage.

[Mark Lantz @TheMarkLantz]

@BlueBoxDave @HowardKurtz Scott Pelley is Ted Baxter. He’s paid to read the news that someone else writes in a deep and serious voice. He is NOT a working journalist.

@TheCinesthetic Loved that movie. However I saw it just before my first trip to Mexico City. Which didn’t do a lot for my expectations around my trip.

@BradOnMessage Same thing with Mitt Romney. Democrats only like Republicans if they can use them to beat up on other Republicans.

@KirkWeaverPhoto @TheCinesthetic Whenever I see the name Owen, I have to repeat it in Anne Ramsey's voice.

[Mark Lantz @TheMarkLantz]

@TheCinesthetic Loved it. If only the rest of the movie delivered at the same level.

@ScottPresler @PNWConservative It’s Geddy Lee.

@RNCResearch There’s a lesson here: Once you tell the lie, you have to stick with it for the rest of your life, regardless of what anyone else says or what proof to the contrary comes out.

@TheCinesthetic Not so secret. Almost everything about this "true story" was BS.

@TheCinesthetic When Mr. Darcy tells Elizabeth Bennet he loves her and she totally lays him out: “You are the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.”

@mkhammer Monopoly and Risk. Alternating weeks.

[Mark Lantz @TheMarkLantz]

@TheCinesthetic Don’t know if it’s true but I read once a long time ago that Scott considered having the car land and keep driving.

@BuckSexton Cheers. Perfect first season. But they wrote themselves into a corner.
