This was such an unexpected bit of joy to pop into my YouTube timeline: From 13 years ago, Katie Couric chats with the female leads of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, reunited for their Hot in Cleveland appearance

MASH cast cuts up
YouTube video by Milton Metz Archive MASH cast cuts up

This is pretty cool: From 1972, just before MASH debuted, three of the show’s cast members being interviewed as part of the press and affiliates junket. It’s the end of the day, and they are punchy (and maybe slightly hammered?) youtu.be/F_SVZW9SubY?...

Hillary Clinton going OFF on the GOP clown show after Boebert releases a photo of her is, how do they youngs say" "the energy I need."

I will never get over her losing to that guy...

Had a feeling Apple TV was holding off announcing the fate of PALM ROYALE until after the Actor Awards, and, sure enough, Deadline just confirmed that it will end after season two. Not a shock given its numbers and modest buzz, but I enjoyed it, flaws and all. And what a cast...

I will defend the NYT and subscribe to the NYT because they do a *ton* of great work across a range of beats. Coverage of official Washington and this WH? Not so much (even though even there, they break important stories.)

I get why you took issue with my post, and have no prob with you doing so!

(BTW, I trusted people could see the headline right below my post and get that I wasn't criticizing the Times for misrepresenting the story for clicks or trying to pull a fast one on anyone... though I still maintain that the body of the story should have the same couching/framing as the hed)

Also, for a paper as big as the Times and with as many resources, there's no excuse to make the frame so narrow for this kind of roundup. It'd be another thing if they were doing a fully reported story on base reaction. But "Here are six people who all love Trump" feels way too narrow, IMO

03.03.2026 01:07 β€” πŸ‘ 79    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The headline does, yes, but the body of the story does not. But my point isn't "this story is misleading," it's that the first and so far only Vox populi story from the Times focuses not just on the right, but on the right in TX-- it doesn't get much Trump-ier.

6 Conservative Voters React to Attacks on Iran Ahead of the Texas Primaries

You really can't make this up.

"What do Americans think of Mr. Trump’s decision to attack Iran? We asked six voters in Texas for their answer ahead of Tuesday’s primary election."

All conservatives; four of six are white men.

Americans are dying in a war of choice and he’s droning on about drapes, and the media will just ignore this and paint Trump as a tough commander in chief laser-focused on the job. He’s a blithering idiot, but he takes his calls, so it’s all good.

We had several days of β€œAOC is clueless” because she took a long pause during one answer at a conference. Meanwhile, the second term president who just launched a war on Iran doesn’t know basic stuff about the country he’s bombing.

Before there was The Bachelor, Fox tried LOVE CRUISE: THE MAIDEN VOYAGE. Its original premiere date: Sept. 11, 2001.

Its debut got pushed back 10 days, but there was no second voyage. youtu.be/fMEUGsjW_lI?...

The Interior Decorator-in-Chief is too preoccupied checking out statues to say something on camera about Americans he got killed in Iran.

This guy is a corrupt, wannabe Trump who’s bullied his way into a position of prominence within the Iranian diaspora so of course MAGA CBS is fluffing him.

The #ActorAwards clip package on TV & movie heels was one of the best such packages I’ve seen in a long time. They actually reached back to the 70s and 80s! The interview with Janice! The music! Oscars and Emmys, take note. This is how you do it.

Live updates: U.S. military says 1,000 targets hit in Iran, 3 American troops killed; Tehran retaliates Three U.S. service members were killed in action and five seriously wounded, Central Command said, the first reported U.S. casualties in the joint attack with Israel.

The Washington Post just flat-out ignores the remark in its item, instead leading with Trump the national healer (barf) www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Read how CNN covers Trump's "that's the way it is" gaffe. It's literally buried at the end of an item with zero indication it's a tone-deaf thing to say.

It would help if Dems made an issue of it, of course, but...
