That issue was put to bed before the whole Arnett Flap.

[TankerKC]

As noted previously. But, why would they ever note Arnett? He was discredited and disgraced years ago.

BUMP

I laugh at your tagline every time I see it.

I think Max got some flack!

Arrgghh! It's "Pretty Chicken". For those who missed him, he's the dude who rehearsed his newscast lines live on the Baghdad Cam, whined and demanded retakes when his hair was mussed, wouldn't cross the Tigris River because "it's too dangerous on the other side", and complained of getting roughed up by a camerman. This is who TV Guide thinks is a good journalist??? Sheesh.

The print version was pressed and shipped prior to his idiotic interview stunt...

Just a case of poor timing on TV guides part from what I understand.

Let's not also forget that Pretty Chicken Engle spent much of the war in his hotel room, attached to an Iraqi minder... who during the Battle of Baghdad kept trying to pitch to Peter Jennings a report on the mean US soldiers blowing up journalists, then preceded to do a report, not on the battle, but on the journalists, and their candle light vigil for one another, all while primping his hair, not wearing a flak jacket for radio reports, but then tossing it on, to fake he was in imminent danger, when he was on tv.

Blah.

I must have missed this stuff, I work in a 'net-challened remote location 3 days and nights a week (but I'm at least going to have dial-up starting next week). I do have satellite TV up there, and I turned it on the other morning just as the miserable statue we hated so much became history.

I wondered what Pretty Chicken was doing once the hotel got shot up, he no doubt quivered and hid. Has anyone seen Baghdad Bob? I'm so far behind reading all the posts, but trying to catch up

TV Guide should have known that Arnett was an idiot long before his most recent stunt.

[NY Cajun]

I stopped buying TV Guide over eight years ago because of their constant pro-left writing in their articles preceeding the TV listings.

[OldSmaj]

TV Guide?

TV GUIDE?

TV GUIDE?

The epitome of cutting-edge journalism whose hard-hitting investigative reporting is without comparison?

That TV Guide?

Yea! TV Guide!

[TankerKC]

TV Guide!

Yeah. That's where I get all of my hard news. Don't you?
