TIME'S SCHERER COULD IMPACT FNC GETTING HELEN'S SEAT (OR NOT...)
As most of us know by now, The Daily Caller came out with another Journolist installment this morning -- this one has Time's Michael Scherer opining on Fox News in what could be construed as both positive and negative remarks. What some may not be aware of is that Scherer recently landed a spot on the board of the White House Correspondents' Association. This means he could be in a position to ultimately say...

A FUNNY EXCHANGE ABOUT THE BACK OF CHUCK TODD'S HEAD
And now for some afternoon humor. On Monday afternoon, NBC's Chuck Todd (co-host of MSNBC's "The Daily Rundown") and CBS News Radio Correspondent Mark Knoller squared off about Todd's head obstructing his shots. Knoller: Finally got @chucktodd to move his head a few degrees so I could get a photo of Obama & Cameron in the East Ro[om] http://twitpic.com/2737bm Knoller: At least I finally got @chucktodd to sit down about 10 minutes into the Obama/Cameron...

POLITICO'S BEN SMITH INTERVIEWS VANDEHARRIS
Here's a twist: Interview your own editors for a story. Politico's Ben Smith did just that today in a story regarding Journolist - of which he was once a member. The reporter seeking his own editors' comment was fitting as it directly involved Politico. Editor-in-Chief John Harris said he supported Politico reporters such as Smith and Mike Allen being on the List and listening in on the conversation. "I knew you were on it....

THE JOURNOLIST BLOODBATH CONTINUES; HUFFPOST STRIKES OUT AT DAILY CALLER
Dirt is flying over The Daily Caller's revealing stories on the contents of the Journolist listserv. HuffPost, which has ex-Journolisters in its midst and has employees who have been staunch defenders of the list's privacy (the harshest defenders have included Jason Linkins and Arthur Delaney who have never said they were members of the listserv), is striking back against The Daily Caller, saying it should have disclosed having one of its own on Journolist....

MSNBC'S RATIGAN: THAT'S MR. BADASS TO YOU
Who's in charge of MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan's afternoon talk show? Should be pretty obvious considering it's "The Dylan Ratigan Show." But well, it's Ratigan. Damn it. And if you're a journalist appearing on his show, you'd better not forget it. The Washington Examiner's Associate Editor J.P. Freire received the 411 (on who's in charge of Ratigan's show) on Monday afternoon when he appeared opposite WaPo's Jonathan Capehart. The topic was politics, race and...

Meghan McCain, author of the newly published Dirty Sexy Politics, a Daily Beast columnist, and daughter to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and the recently incarcerated actress, Lindsay Lohan.

VAN SUSTEREN THE PRANKSTER?
Yesterday we told you about Greta Van Susteren's 'reply all' to a State Department pool report by CNN producer Elise Labott. Greta's email said "this pool report is a lie," referring to the Labott's claim that the pool was "wheels up to Seoul." Claiming her friend at Fox News was just being a prankster, Labott responded to the email chain last night: ----- Original Message ----- From: Labott, Elise To: Sent: Tue Jul 20 19:39:30...

MORE JOURNOLIST BLEEDING
Things are getting really ugly. The Daily Caller has released the Day 3 (if you include the ex-WaPo Dave Weigel debacle) installment of Journolist e-mails. Today's big hit goes to radio Producer Sarah Spitz who shocked herself with her anger. What would she do if conservative Radio host Rush Limbaugh was having a heart attack? Spitz would "laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out." But there's more. In this installment,...

On Thursday, Williams told Fox News host Megyn Kelly: “The whole idea was to demean me, and make me to appear as if I was not only a lunatic who needed a psychiatrist, but I was a loose cannon and not a professional news person.”
