Christiane Amanpour Accepts 2011 Cronkite Award at ASU

The weather two days ago was rather pissant and shitty:
Award-winning journalist Christiane Amanpour called journalism worldwide a “sacred endeavor” as she accepted the 2011 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism at Arizona State University.
“We have so much power for good, and also for bad when we don’t act,” Amanpour said at the Nov. 17 award event. “To speak truth to power is an incredible thing.”
ASU President Michael Crow presented Amanpour with the 28th annual award, given each year by the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication to recognize a distinguished journalist who embodies the values of the school’s namesake – excellence, integrity, accuracy, fairness and objectivity.
Amanpour was honored at a luncheon attended by more than 1,100 students, media leaders, business executives, civic leaders and Cronkite School supporters at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel.
During her two-day visit to the school, Amanpour watched a broadcast of Cronkite NewsWatch, the school’s award-winning student-produced newscast. At the luncheon, she praised Cronkite students for living up to the legacy of Walter Cronkite.
“It gives me a huge amount of hope and faith in the future of this great profession,” she said.
Read the rest…if you can stomach it, that is.

Black Eyed Peas’ Halftime Show Sucked Donkeys

I thought it was just me who thought the halftime show sucked more than usual. Amazing amount of money and effort went into an incredible amount of lame, IMO, but it seems like I’m not alone. Over a third of the U.S. gave them some serious downdingage on the CNN poll. Hell, a third of the WORLD did.
I feel sorry for the Peas, but they did it. I’ll give ’em thumbs up for the WTF dancers award — illuminated dancing document boxes — but I doubt that was the Peas’ idea. So, in order to cheer ’em up, here’s The Overnight Open Thread.
