Rumblings: Be Careful What You Wish For
>>> Jocelyn and Eddie’s plea bargain: Five years? Ooofa. In five years, they’re going to have, like, totally new kinds of breast implants and purple contact lenses and fiber optic hair extenstion. Ol’ Bonnie’s gonna be like Brendan Fraser in Blast From The Past! Pardon me, I have to jot this down, I just had the BEST SITCOM IDEA ever. [Inky]
>>> Brian Tierney on the shock of his life after taking over the Inky and the DN: It wasn’t the old editorial fuddy duddys that sucked, it was the suits. “There is a dearth of talent on the business side of this industry that is shocking to me,” he says. “No one goes to Wharton and says, ‘I want to run circulation at Knight-Ridder.’ ” In general, he adds, “the business side has let down the journalistic side of newspapers.” Ohhhhhh snap! BEWARE! [Portfolio]
>>> Nutter does battle with City Council and guess what? A lot of those promised tax cuts look like they’re about to get frittered away. Hey, somebody’s gotta pay for the batteries in Joan Krajewski’s voicebox. [KYW]
