Entertainment - Reuters TVDan Rather, 'Friends' Producers in Spotlight
Thu Oct 2, 5:34 AM ET
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - CBS News' Dan Rather and "Friends" executive producers Kevin Bright, David Crane and Marta Kauffman will honored Nov. 10 during the Museum of Television & Radio's annual gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Rather will be feted for his "steadfast commitment to fair and accurate news reporting," while the "Friends" producers' work "has revolutionized quality primetime entertainment," museum officials said Wednesday.
Past gala honorees include Barbara Walters, Jack Paar (news), Jerry Seinfeld (news), Garry Shandling (news), Martin Sheen (news), Mary Tyler Moore (news), Dick Wolf, David E. Kelley, Alan Alda (news), David Brinkley, Carol Burnett (news), James Burrows and Sid Caesar (news).

We intend to protest the Museum of Television & Radio's decision to honor Dan Rather on Monday 11/10 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.Our current plans are for several local activists from the conservative news forum Free Republic to peacefully assemble on the public sidewalk in front of the hotel dressed in Halloween masks of Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton - and Dan Rather.
We intend to perform some "street theater" called "Softballs for Saddam" to parody the fawning questions that Rather often asks of people that he likes. We intend to hold a media opportunity at 6 pm - with a GIANT plastic baseball bat, and some over-sized foam rubber "softballs" - plus some smaller "Softball with Saddam" softballs to hand out to news reporters.
Any OTHER ideas will be gratefully accepted.
I have confirmed with the hotel that there will be a:The Museum of Television and Radio says that this event is "by invitation only" - and that the public is NOT invited.reception at 6:30 pm, and a
dinner at 7:30 pm

MONDAY, November 10, 2003.
(Our FReep is currently scheduled to start at 6 pm.)
SoCal FReepers: Don't know about you... but this Saturday I'D RATHER BE FREEPIN'!!!
How's THIS for a "photo opportunity?"This is the PUBLIC sidewalk in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel - where WE will be - greeting all of the arriving guests for this "gala awards dinner" for Mr. Rather:
We certainly intend to make this visit to California a MEMORABLE one for Mr. Rather. :o)
Dan Rather [seeking the frequency of murder and terror]: "Mr. President, if only you knew how
much I and others at CBS suport you rather than our unelected Bush"
Butcher-Terrorist Saddam: "Mr, Rather, it is absolutely remarkable that you media girly men
will repeatedly betray the USA, your President, and even the American people during war
for so little. We usually must gang rape a man's children and his wife, then burn and mutilate them
and then electrify his testicles and even cut off a few fingers before
he betrays his people. We, Baathists, are very lucky to have you, Dan."
SADDAM will be there, too!

GREAT BUMPER STICKER!Thanks!
We will also have several LARGE BANNERS at this FReep, courtesy of ratherbiased.com
...plus some smaller "Softball with Saddam" softballs to hand out to news reporters...I'm thinking about buying a BUNCH of cheap whiffle balls - since REAL softballs are HEAVY (and expensive!) - and somehow printing on each one:
Toby is a man Dan
You are a mouse!
JILL STEWART - SecretaryWasn't she the one who did such WONDERFUL reporting about Gray Davis during the recall?
E-Mail Address: jill@lapressclub.org
Award-winning journalist Jill Stewart is a print, radio and TV political commentator. She launched her syndicated column "Capitol Punishment," following a successful stint with New Times Los Angeles where her talked-about columns examined the power elite of California.
In 2002, Jill was named top columnist in Los Angeles. In 2001, she won the American Society of Newspaper Columnist's award for best column in the nation.
She holds a Master's Degree in Journalism from Stanford University.
She could do a POWERFUL story about this FReep, doncha think?Does anybody know Jill well enough to "pitch" this idea to her, as it were?
We need her to write a WEST COAST version of THIS article:
"...The Wal-Mart parking lot is shaping up to resemble an old-school gang fight. Except instead of knives and chains, the combatants use placards and really weak song parodies.

Hillary Goes to Wal-Mart
The latest skirmish in the Clinton wars.

The Hillaryites' tormentors are the Freepers, a fierce, warlike tribe from the Free Republic organization--a fire-breathing conservative band of Internet brothers who often call each other by their screen names, even in person..."
