Worst Person in Media This Week - 11/02/2007

The T Dog Media Blog is about to hand out the second-ever Worst Person in Media This Week award, and we have many nominees.

First, we have Bill O'Reilly, with this inane blog entry on black firefighters. Then we have the AMPTP for continuing to screw over Hollywood writers, who are headed to the picket lines in the very near future. Another nominee is the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who decided to protest the XM-Sirius merger, never mind that most minority groups (and this blog) actually endorsed the merger, believing it would provide more services to minority communities. And a late entry: Adam Buckman of the New York Post giving fans of Family Guy the middle finger by revealing spoilers to the 100th episode (and right back at you, buddy!)

And there's more... WCKG management's for the botched flip to Christmas music, Duane "Dog" Chapman for his racial slur, the FCC's Kevin Martin, and Jay Mariotti for being... Jay Mariotti.

Whew! That's a long list!

But this week, yours truly decided to award the Worst Person in Media - well, make that the Worst People in Media award this week to the conservative group The Parents Television Council, who came out this week with yet another pointless list on kids' prime-time favorites, never mind some of those shows on that list - in the "red light district", are not for kids. These guys are about as bad as Jesse Jackson when it comes to grabbing attention for self-interest.

Congratulations, Parents Television Council for what I am sure is the first of many Worst People in Media awards for you guys.
