Maury and Connie have a luncheon…
The Washington Post’s Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts write about yesterday’s Maury Povich and Connie Chung luncheon…
…yesterday, there were Povich and Chung themselves, in the city where both got their start, taking questions in public. “They could have canceled. I would have understood,” Nathans owner Carol Joynt told our colleague Korin Miller. It was a carefully choreographed affair. An NBC exec was in the room, as were two network security staffers. Joynt made it clear the couple would take no questions from the floor. Instead, she invited the 50 or so paying lunchers (dining on salmon and asparagus) to write down questions and pass them forward. She said later that most she received involved the scandal, which she dispensed with in an opening comment.
TVNewser is virtually silent about this story. Pretty big coincidence that an MSNBC scandal doesn’t get covered on there, isn’t it?

No great conspiracy there. That lawsuit doesn’t really relate to MSNBC. I’ve been ignoring it too since the lawsuit involves A Current Affair and not Maury and Connie. But this particular story didn’t really concern the lawsuit. So up it went.

I believe benlv is trying to make something out of nothing by once again trying to suggest Brian at TVNewser is an eeevul MSNBC favoritist because he isn’t doing a big push on this story. Yawn…Spud has a point. The suit isn’t about MSNBC, so the fact that TVNewser isn’t covering it much doesn’t mean much.

Maury Povich and Connie. Connie: You are out of the loop on this one. Those tax breaks helped many of we little people. As a 69 + retired widow with NO pension, I live on what income my small investments produce. Many of we “little people” invest….many years ago when changes such as IRA’s, etc. opened up to us, we became investors. A long way from rich, we enjoy what tax reductions have done for us. …and the economy. Look at the huge amounts of money taken in by government since these changes….quite surprising and very revealing.
