THE PAJAMAHADEEN STIR AT THE NEWS...
"You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of check and balances [at '60 Minutes'] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing."
Jonathan Klein, a former executive vice president of CBS News who oversaw "60 Minutes," Sept. 10, 2004, on Fox News Channel.
Reuters today:
CNN News Group on Monday said it has tapped an online media CEO as its new president overseeing U.S. news, just a little over a year after it hired a former local TV newsman to run its domestic operations.
Jonathan Klein, founder and chief executive officer of The FeedRoom Inc., a high-speed Internet news network and video streamer, will assume the role of head of U.S. news operations, answering to CNN President Jim Walton.
"Six years steeped in the digital information industry have helped me understand today's news consumers in ways never before available to media executives," Klein said in a statement.
Klein was the former executive director of CBS News, with oversight of its flagship "60 Minutes" program.
The guy who called bloggers "guys in pajamas" is now in charge of CNN. I continue to fail to understand how network news operates.
