CNN chief Jeff Zucker, who has vowed to shake up the network’s primetime this year, will experiment with several formats at 10 Pm for five weeks. Don Lemon debuts on Monday — this time as anchor of The Don Lemon Show, leading into another new program called Making The Case at 10:30 Pm. It’s Lemon’s second recent audition, having hosted the 11 Pm program 11th Hour during Erin Burnett’s maternity leave last year. Lemon inserted himself into the Michael Dunn trial in a small way, when he announced he was “pissed” at the “ridiculous” jury’s inability to reach a decision in re whether Dunn was guilty of “murdering a teenager because his music was too damn loud.” Fox News’ Gregg Jarrett took the bait, saying in a series of tweets that “the sum total of what Lemon knows about the law and this case… could be written on...

The genesis of the ongoing feud between Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett and CNN anchor Don Lemon was Lemon’s audacious expression of an opinion on the Michael Dunn "loud music" trial: namely that there ought to be a "Mind your business law," and that Michael Dunn should have followed it. Lemon echoed that sentiment when he tweeted, in response to Jarrett's criticism, to “Mind your business, old man.” Lemon knows a thing or two about minding his own business.

Cable news filler is a fact of life that looms larger in the holiday news dead zone, as evidenced by Fox News' consistent coverage, this weekend, of a Barbie doll that doesn't even exist. The network has done several segments on "Plus-sized Barbie," a thought-provoking artist's rendering meant to improve body image. In one such segment, co-anchor Jamie Colby extolled the virtues of the virtual doll, only to be undermined by co-anchor Gregg Jarrett, who took the opportunity to simultaneously trash Plus-sized Barbie and reality TV star Snooki.

Casey Anthony murder trial on Monday, July 4 dropped five f-bombs and Fox News has accidentally aired it. The prosecution's rebuttal of the defense's closing arguments was presented that day and included a recording of a phone call between Casey and her mother during which Casey said the word "f***ing" five times.
The expletives were broadcast live because Fox didn't have the trial broadcasting on a standard seven-second delay. Fnc anchor Gregg Jarrett interrupted the broadcast to apologize to viewers and later the network put the rest of the testimony on a seven-second tape delay to prevent further problems.
Beside Fox, Hln and MSNBC also did coverage of the prosecution rebuttal which began at 8:30 A.M. Et. Jurors will continue to deliberate Casey's case into Tuesday. Casey could face the death penalty if she is convicted in the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee.

Looks like its that later, as it appears that the photos showed up on Fox and Friends this morning. Shocker!
