Re: [UC] Sweeps month and the media and Morality
Wow! Sharon Reed is still at it, huh? She was involved in that scandal with Alicia Taylor over Aaron McKie that led to her being let go from the station. Her harassment of Taylor was scathing and the e-mails she posted on the TV Radio listserv about her sexual appeal versus Alicia's were absolutely brutal. Interestingly enough, Steve Doerr was a former News Director at WCAU around the time Ms. Reed was there. There was also an interesting article in the Sunday NY Times by Frank Rich about how the conservatives rake in so much money on the entertainment industry that promote those sorely lacking 'moral values.'

Re: [UC] Sweeps month and the media and Morality
I've seen some discussion of the Monday night football issue on another list. I tend to agree with the folks who say that Monday Night football is a family show, and the spoof was inappropriate for that timeslot and (some of the) audience. I don't think nudity on an 11 PM newscast in a story about art is inappropriate at all. (and yes, I also agree that football isn't really an appropriate family entertainment, but I'll go with the culture, including my 16-year old son, who has never played football other than touch games in informal settings, but does like watching the game.) - Original Message - From: Mark Krull [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 12:59 AM Subject: [UC] Sweeps month and the media and Morality Well, Several days after the Monday Night Football media promotion a former Philadelphia news anchor who covered this story.
