Ed Bark in the Dallas Morning News writes about Fox News Sunday’s 10th Anniversary and includes an interview with show host Chris Wallace which make some news because Wallace reveals that Ted Kennedy has agreed to be on the show for the first time ever.

And on the seventh day, the sleaze rests, at least on TV’s serious-minded, mostly well-mannered Sunday morning news shows.

“There’s zero pressure on us to do Natalee Holloway, Michael Jackson or a car chase,” says Chris Wallace. “It’s a tabloid-free zone, and I’m thrilled to be a part of that.”Mr. Wallace presides over Fox News Sunday, which will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this Sunday. He left ABC News in late 2003 to replace Tony Snow as the program’s headmaster. Now Mr. Snow is the brand-new White House press secretary after previously working for the first President Bush. He’ll also be Mr. Wallace’s “Power Player of the Week” on Sunday’s closing segment. Such luck.

“I think Tony will succeed in lowering the temperature between the White House and the press corps, which is up to a boil at this point,” Mr. Wallace says in a telephone interview. “I think he’ll be able to defuse some of the ill feeling. He’s a smart, charming guy who understands what reporters do for a living.”

The 10th-anniversary edition additionally has an exclusive interview with Josh Bolton, his first since becoming President Bush’s new chief of staff.

After getting prematurely outted by TVNewser on Friday, MSNBC’s The Most website is now up for real. The site includes MSNBC’s first official description of the show and it reads a bit like a press release…

MSNBC’s new groundbreaking news program, “The Most,” with host Alison Stewart, is set to debut on MSNBC on May 1 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Fast-paced and spirited, the new one hour show will give viewers a look at “the most” sought-after stories of the day. Every day, “The Most” will report on the most searched stories on the Internet, the most viewed stories from a multitude of news sources, the most e-mailed stories or photo images, the most downloaded music or blogged-about subject matter and the most viewed television programs or movies. Tapping into the top news stories of the day, “The Most” will dig even deeper to give viewers the most information on their favorite topics.

In addition to covering the top hard news stories of the day, “The Most” will cover a range of topics, from politics to pop culture, including business, technology, lifestyle, entertainment and news relating to people’s everyday lives. The program will cull all major daily newspapers, a plethora of news and information websites, weekly periodicals, and more, as it pinpoints the most widely searched topics of interest. “The Most” will also turn the tables on itself from time to time, featuring a most “underreported” story of the day or a most “overexposed” person of the week.
