Political Awards, Time 100....and MultiTasking and Currency

This past weekend the Washington Press Association had it's annual dinner at the White House. CNN's Ed Henry won the top journalism award for White House reporting under deadline pressure. Here is cute clip of Betty Nguyen and TJ Holmes talking about Ed's win on Sunday morning's News Room.



On Wednesday's Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer ended his program noting that CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley was not on the program. Candy was awarded the New Hampshire Primary award. To read about Candy's award, click here. Hopefully part of the win was a well deserved day off.



I always enjoy Time Magazine’s edition of the Time’s 100. This year both Christiane Amanpour and John King contributed pieces for Alexis Sinduhije and Jeff Han respectively. Both are interesting reads. If you click on the name you can read what Christiane and John wrote.


Yesterday on our sister blog All Things Anderson, we recieved a request for the report Erica Hill filed for Election Center. Everyone happens to be in luck because I was able to clip it. Enjoy Erica and Campbell Brown discussing what really happens behind some of the shots we see from the campaign trail on Election StageCraft.


And tonight I end with a clip from Wednesday's American Morning. I am sure we have all gotten extemely busy in life and multitasking and hopefully we have someone to snap us into reality like Kyra Phillips does with John Roberts. At the end of Ali Velshi's extreme report, Kyra gives us the head's up on the currency of the Solomon Islands.....now where can I get me some dolphin teeth???

  1. I like the new segment with Erica
    on The Election Center. The show
    is starting to grow on me.

  2. I don't get what CNN is trying to do
    with Campbell Brown's program.
    Last night they lead with a story on
    Arizona rethinking it's tough immigration
    policies. That is exactly why I do not
    watch CNN during Lou Dobbs. Enough
    already. I say this as a CNN fan who
    grew up watching CNN and it is still
    my favorite news channel. Maybe a
    Digg format on CNN.com for viewers
    to vote on stories they want to see
    covered the most in prime time and
    submit stories they think are important
    and interesting to other viewers.
    I know it sounds radical but they need to
    really fix the 8pm hour. Geez I see more
    international news on Current TV than
    on CNN these days.

  3. The problem with Brown's show is the talking
    heads. Even BOR is smart enough to not have
    the same people on talking about topics for
    most of a program. The Republican and
    Democratic pundits need to exit the stage.
    Along with the radio show hosts. I don't
    need to hear what these people have to say
    on the issues Too much talk on no info.
    TV news needs get with the program and
    come into the 21st century. i am thinking
    about starting a petition online to get
    CNN to stop giving the talking heads
    too much air time. Where have all of the
    reporters gone?
