Art Imitates Life: Will You Watch Show About a Sex Scandal?
When CBS announced The Good Wife, an upcoming show about a politician's wife shamed by her husband's public sex scandal, there's no way the network could have predicted that cheating governor Mark Sanford would give the show an awesome tie-in to current events. Or maybe it could have — politicians seem to be having affairs at a rapid pace these days!
Refreshingly, the philandering politician (played by Chris Noth) is not the star of the show's plot.
Do You Tune Into Katie Couric's Evening News?
While the nightly headlines might not be so optimistic, things are looking up for Katie Couric and CBS. On the tails of her Sarah Palin interview this Summer, Katie has secured a Grammy special, and the first interview with US Airways pilot Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger. Meanwhile, ratings for the CBS Evening News are on the rise.
Why Are People So Anti-Katie Couric?
It's almost impossible to find pro-Katie news out there recently — now it seems she might be in a couple of pots of hot water. Civil rights groups are on the anchor's case after the news program she helms ran what they're calling a report that was inaccurate and crass — and much like something they say Lou Dobbs would run.
Politico says this of the controversy:
The CBS newscast that carries her name recently aired a one sided and inaccurate report about illegal immigrant women who give birth to their children in the United States.

Do You Like to Double Date?
Last night's How I Met Your Mother was all about double dates and the couples who love them — and the couples who hate them.
In the episode, married couple Marshall and Lilly get so excited that their friends Barney and Robin are together because finally have another couple in their group of friends.
Unfortunately, Marshall and Lilly's previous attempts at double dating haven't gone too well.
Say What? National Organization For Women on Letterman
"As 'the boss,' he is responsible for setting the tone for his entire workplace — and he did that with sex. In any work environment, this places all employees —including employees who happen to be women — in an awkward, confusing and demoralizing situation."
— Terry O'Neill for the National Organization for Women reminding people that David Letterman's admitted affairs with female staffers over the years, although described as consensual, occurred in the workplace and constitute what many people would consider an abuse of power by an employer toward his employees.
Have You Ever Dated the Same Person as Your Friend?
Last night on How I Met Your Mother, we saw the rare benefits that can come from dating a friend's ex. On the episode, Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris) looks to his best friend Ted for tips on how to date his new girlfriend Robin. If you don't follow the show, I'll fill you in.
CBS News Edits Out McCain's Misunderstanding of Iraq
John McCain may mock the media's love affair with Barack Obama, but CBS attempted to give him a generous pass by editing out McCain's incorrect account of crucial events in Iraq. Last night CBS replaced the plainly wrong assertion that the "surge" prompted the Sunni (Anbar) Awakening, which happened before the idea of a surge even existed, with a completely different answer.
Here's how it actually went down:
Katie Couric: Senator Obama says, while the increased number of US troops contributed to increased security in Iraq, he also credits the Sunni awakening and the Shiite government going after militias.
Rent-a-Friend Business Booming in Japan
One of my favorite episodes of How I Met Your Mother involves Barney and his hired "family." The eternal playboy (played by Neil Patrick Harris) wants his mother to think he has settled down, so he pays actors to play his wife and son, concocts an elaborate backstory with details including his son's "catch phrase," and plays along for years every time he visits his mother with his fake family in tow.
Well apparently, Japan has turned this sitcom plot into a reality.
