A clip of Letterman interviewing Lindsey Lohan has made the rounds online tonight. It’s not being received well https://twitter.com/treytylor/status/1360661970924556291?s=21 On Sat, Feb 13, 2021 at 7:22 PM PGage wrote: > Yeah but...at the NYT, isn’t it customary that if they are unable to do >

Yeah but...at the NYT, isn’t it customary that if they are unable to do their own reporting, or share the reliable reporting of other credible journalists, that they don’t run the story? I would say the documentary was basically about the podcast and social media fan sites, with a tacked on remind

I am going to guess this is a stab at being more relevant by the NYT and it's dealing with tighter deadlines and not getting the resources that go to the print product. It's not simply clickbait because there is a real story here. The choice of Britney as a subject and the time spent talking about

Re: [TV orNotTV] Craig Ferguson Refusal to Keep Making Fun of Brittany Spears

Okay, I watched the “Framing Britney Spears” “documentary” on Hulu. Yikes. 1. How did the NYT let its name be attached to this? It looks and smells more like TMZ. It is little more than a summary of what has been said and reported by people on social media, with little or no actual independent rep

Ok, sounds like maybe I will check out the doc. My take on her around that time was that she needed a conservator, but it should not have been her father, or anyone who stood to profit from commodifying her. On Thu, 11 Feb 2021 at 1:00 PM Tom Wolper wrote: > On Tue, Feb 9, 2021 at 10:58 AM Kevin

I recall watching that monologue that night. It was surprisingly honest. Nice to see. On a different note, the band I'm From Barcelona had at song called Britney. Not remarkable, but the theme is why care about Britney. https://www.google.com/search?q=britney+I%27m+from+Barcelona&oq=britney+

Re: [TV orNotTV] Craig Ferguson Refusal to Keep Making Fun of Brittany Spears

Spears' name was part of a lyric in *Spamalot* that was changed when her troubles became known. I couldn't remember whose name was substituted for hers, but I looked it up. https://www.playbill.com/article/from-spears-to-spice-spamalot-alters-britney-lyric-com-147635 On Tue, Feb 9, 2021 at 10:44

Re: [TV orNotTV] Craig Ferguson Refusal to Keep Making Fun of Brittany Spears

Yeah, yesterday Diane Sawyer trended because people suddenly decided her interview of Spears from nearly two decades ago was bad, which is a bit like people only just now realizing Geraldo is really bad at his job. I miss Ferguson on late night. I understand why he got out when he did, but I still
