None other than Ken Livingstone, the Lord Mayor of London, had this to say about the British Press (or some of them). He was commenting on the death of Princess Diana.
“The real underbelly of British reporting are the scum of the earth. Bad journalism actually takes people’s lives.”
Wonder which papers he was referring

LARRY KING CONTINUES HIS REIGN
According to Daily Variety, CNN has extended Larry King’s contract, keeping the interviewer at the cable news network through 2009. Worth $7 million a year (that’s $28 million), the deal assures the future dominance of “Larry King Live”.

Congratulations to Larry King
Dear Larry,
Re. Gary Condit vs. Dominick Dunne. Lawsuit for Defamation.
I watched your show last night, Larry, and I was pleasantly surprised to see you were fair in giving everybody concerned with this yet-to-be-heard suit a chance for a prior public hearing. Your researchers must have taken a lot of…

Dan Rather and Memogate
Millions of words have already been written providing a haze surrounding this subject. Let’s try to clarify.
The argument boils down to “Should the on-camera personality (read anchor) be in charge of what we see and hear?”, with the news departments and producers relegated to being mere functionaries of the anchor?…

The Larry King case (more)
This morning I appeared before the judge and argued my case against dismissal under the California SLAPP provisions.
As usual for the likes of me, short on cases, on Authorities. But maybe too long on Points.
However, I don’t like the idea of recounting what happened; I’ve said it before,…

Next up, an appearance before the Judge 3 days after Christmas Day (I wish the courts would take a real holiday!), to see if he will allow this to go forward. I hope so, because if he dismisses it under the California S.L.A.P.P. provisions, I will have to pay their attorney fees and costs. Or…

My complaint to the British Press Complaints Commission
is based upon this irresponsible piece of journalism.

The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday (editor Paul Dacre – “the most dangerous man in Britain?” asks the Guardian) have writers in Hollywood, and distribute a lot of biased gossipy and inaccurate information. And their reporters…

They filed their response, they had 60 days to do it. Davis Wright Tremaine, attorneys for Larry King (and CNN and TBS and Time Warner, and L.A. Times, and N.Y. Times and on and on) can supply their response, I don’t have the character recognition software to do it. Besides, as my father used to…
