Mike on Radio: Discussing News Corp., Ann Curry and Bad Journalism on KCRW



It's my third week in a row (and the last, at least for now) bantering about the week's entertainment headlines on KCRW's "The Business." Click on the link above to listen. This week's topics:

- New Corps. splits into two companies, separating the entertainment assets from the publishing ones
- Ann Curry leaves the Today Show as the latest fall guy for a weak NBC
- Cable news channels rush to win viewers lead to errors on reporting the Supreme Court’s landmark healthcare decision


Thanks to KCRW and Darby Maloney for having me on!
