Which to lead with: Howard Rosenberg's television column -- since most people watch TV, and it has Kobe Bryant and Jessica Lynch in it -- or Steve Carney's radio column, since this site likes good radio. Both by L.A. Times writers whose work I typically enjoy but who I've had to ding lately. Hard call, but Howard gets it on topic sizzle. He writes on the media circuses this week in West Virginia and Eagle County, and says of the latter that "journalistic standards fell ever lower." Carney visits at the NPR studios in Culver City for the coming launch of "Day to Day," and has the news that KPCC plans to wedge the program into its schedule somewhere. Which means something has to go. KCRW already bumped "Fresh Air" starting next Monday for the new show to air daily at noon.
