That's the FORMER Fox Charlotte guy who got knocked down by his producer last week. Since the last installment of Thinking Hard, both he and the producer have been charged with a misdemeanor AND both have been canned. I side with the producer, but I understand the company had to let both guys go. You can't have that resentment festering in a newsroom. However, if I may speak for a moment to the bosses over at Fox...next time, make sure you have warm bodies to step in when you fire your on-air "talent." At the printing of this post, the station had THREE news-readers on its morning show...and only ONE ANCHOR for all seven days of its evening broadcasts. Now THAT'S must-see TV.
Also, a quick note from a TV station in Hartford, Connecticut, and a cautionary tale about viral petitions gone wrong... WTNH decided not to renew the contract of its veteran meteorologist, who had worked at the station for 26 years. They were going to let him ride out the rest of his contract and work through the end of February. So, 10,000+ people signed a Facebook petition to keep him on the air. The station's response? Managers decided to let him go EARLIER! They said they didn't want all the attention that the Facebook petition had wraught. Ah, social media...is there no career you can't end?
Hey, the Super Bowl is set. The Green Bay Packers are in the big game, as well as THIS team:
That's from the CBS station in Louisville, KY. I miss Louisville. Anyway, so the Pack will be concentrating on stopping the Jews at the Super Bowl...er, wait, no, that's not right. Well, it's gonna be a "Heil" of a game...um, no...can I get a better writer in here? This dude looks like Hitler.
You know, this is a perfect moment for Jon Stewart to step in...

And while we're on the subject of Fox News, it reminds me that the Hottest Mess Tournament is coming up. And that reminds me of one of the tournament favorites over the past couple of years, Sarah "Don't Test Me...I'm Just Crazy Enough To Run For President In 2012!" Palin. For as much as I rip on the Tea Party for supporting her, it's nice to see she's getting some mainstream attention again. Take it away, "30 Rock's" Tracy Morgan:
Can't tell if Palin was flattered or not, but I think I just found a reason to start a MEN'S bracket this year...
FREE EGYPT! AND PESHAWAR!
