I hate blowing my own horn, but people want to know this stuff, so here’s the skinny on the upcoming lizardoid media takeover, using the pretext of the Reuters Photoshop scandal as an excuse for world domination:
* Tomorrow morning sometime after 7 am, ABC’s Good Morning America will show a segment we taped today. They also interviewed Reuters editor Paul Holmes, who thanked me personally and the blogosphere in general for fact-checking Reuters. (I’m paraphrasing. He didn’t say “fact-checking.” No talk of flying pigs now.)
* Tomorrow morning at about 9:50 am Pacific, I’ll be on ZOA Radio in Philadelphia.
* I’m not sure on the time yet, but I’ll also be on The Laura Ingraham Show in the morning with Tammy Bruce sitting in. (UPDATE: It’s on for 7:15 am.)
* Today I spoke to both the New York Times and the Washington Post about the story.
* Eliana Johnson (no relation) in the New York Sun has a good factual piece on the scandal and Reuters’ response: Reuters Pulls 920 Pictures by Discredited Photographer.
* A great editorial in Investor’s Business Daily: Jihad Journalism? (With one small correction: the death threat from a Reuters employee happened in May and was unrelated to the Photoshop scandal.)
* And last but not least, yesterday I spoke with Randy Dotinga of the Christian Science Monitor. Apparently the brainwashing was successful, and his piece advancing the lizardoid agenda is now online: A blogger shines when news media get it wrong.
