Jim Lehrer: The NewsHour an alternative to the CBS Evening News, ABC World News and NBC Nighty News

Hi everyone, first I want to say happy thanksgiving to all of you. I hope ya had fun, ate and drink. Well not to much. Over the last few days. I've been watchin The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. Now those who do not who is Jim Lehrer. I'm gonna tell ya because this is how I make my money. Jim Lehrer is an newsman. He and his partner Robert MacNeil covered Watergate for PBS in 1974. In 1975 they both starred in The Robert MacNeil Report for WNET. It mainly focused on one story/topic. Sort of like Nightline. A few months after its was renamed The MacNeil/Lehrer Report. In 1983 it was renamed The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour. The first and only evening news that is still to this day one hour. In 1995 Robert MacNeil retired and was renamed to its current name The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. It offers more in depth analysis then any of the three networks. It's combines the elements CBS Evening News with the most successful newsmagazine 60 Minutes. The NewsHour is a wonderful news program and and The NewsHour gives us the news that we need to know. So I encourage you to watch The NewsHour. It's on every weeknight at 6:00pm on WLIW 21 and at 7:00pm on WNET 13. From the American Archive of TV an interview with Jim Lehrer. CNN's legendary figure Bernard Shaw dubbed him the "Dean of Moderators" for covereing 10 presidental debates. This is part 3: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5528380488661809638 part 4 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2488687940835899487 part 5 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8005206259547986561 and Jim Lehrer on today's broadcast journalism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhEyP4BZKio I hope all of you watch The NewsHour. Trust me you would like it. A part of our world for tonight. For the post I'm Christopher good night. See you again soon.

FCC Update

Hey guys how are you doing? Welcome to the post. Last Week on Bill Moyers Journal. Moyers gave us an update on Media Consolation in which the FCC will allow big media more control on what you see, hear and read. Here is that clip http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11162007/watch.html
You have until Dec 11 to tell the FCC how you fell. Send them an e-mail at http://www.fcc.gov/contacts.html

This story will be updated in the coming weeks. You can tell the FCC that more media consolation is not only wrong and also undemocratic. That's a part of our world for today. For the post I'm Christopher De Lardge have a great day and eat turkey and pie. Lata

Planet in Peril

Hiiiiiiiiiiii by the end of the day I be posting links on CNN's 2 part special Planet in Peril. Post ya comments

Museum Trip

The Museum trip was very interesting and informal and interesting. The first exbihit the group and went is the global warming effect on the ice caps:

Pollantants from the humans the burning of coal realases nirogen /sulfur into the atmosphere. They show up as greater compounds in the glacier. Since the 19th century (1800s) the coal/sulfur pollutants became more evident. This impacts the earth by emitting more carbon dixioide gases into the atmosphere in which it holds more of the sun rays the ultraviolet in which is causes the temputare of the earth to go up and in turn melts the ice caps and leave the sulur and carbon residue.

The next exbhit we went is the Humans Origins: Reconsutions faces from Fossils.

Logos: good infomation, well organized in telling how do scienist reshape the faces from fossils.
Pathos: very attactive with the video/sound on they present the steps in a visual fashion.
Ethos: the kind of exbit in which you can bring to a class to make it more interesting.

Food Week 5

Well guys I'm back. Well since my uncle came over I been eating less fast food for most of the week. However on Monday I went ova to the Settale Cafe which is next door to my school. In which I had the New Yorker combo which is a hamburger with tomatos, onions, lettuce and bacon n a side of curly fries and a coke. It was good better than McDonalds and a great meal on a Monday cuz I need the engery to do my radio show at the web radio studio at 5pm. On Tuesday at home I eat hot wings with roti not bad quite tasty. For the remainder of the week I ate left ova Chiense takeout. Remind me to nva have an leftova egg roll. Too greasy very greasy. Leave that bitter after taste in your mouth. Yuck!!!!! Anyway I be back next time for another editon of my blog. Until then this is Christopher De Lardge saying good night and good luck.

Food Week 4

Hi everyone well my uncle came ova from Grand Cayman and We mostly home cooked meals. Such as Fried Trout with rice stewed beans and potato salad on Monday. The funny thing i eat it for most of the week. It is a better alturnative to fast food any day. In which I'm trying to cut down. This week I felt much engertic and more peepy. I always happy and bubbly naturally. :) On Thursday I took my Uncle to Chinatown to Mr Tang's Resturant. It's the corner at Mullberry and Mott Street. It is one of the best resturant in Chinatown. We had Peking Duck, Fried Rice, Tea and Lo Mein. Ahhhh it is so good like heaven. Chiense food is the best kind of food in the world in my point of view. That's my post for the week. Christopher De Lardge postin have a wonderful week.

Food Week 3

Most of the food I eat on a daily basis is usually I buy from the resturant, chiense take out, pizza or sometimes fast food. I rather have White Castle than Mcdonald's any day of the week. My favorite Chiense food take out dish is Buffalo Wings with French Fries and extra hot sauce and ketchup. However I have to walk from my house to the store which is at Lefferts Blvd and at 111th ave in South Ozone Park. It's quite tasty and good. Everytime I walk in that resturant the nice lady knows how I like my food. Now I go to the White Castle at Jamaica Ave. Of course the one near me is at 97th street and at Rockaway Blvd. Now I could walk over there however if I have really a craving for it. It's worth the talk.... It's really is. Now why your gas smell like onions it's beyond me. I save that for another time. I'm sorry its late due my project for Lou. I will post clips on my blog of my favorite interviews online. That a my part of my food week, for this post i'm Christopher De Lardge saying good night, and good luck

Food Week 2

Well for the week i sadly had a Chessebuger from McDonalds on Monday. All I have to say never again not cool man. Not cool. On Tuesday went to the Settale Cafe had a Hambuger with bacon with chesse curly fries and Coke with Coors with it. It was a ok buzz it needs work through you know. Wed was chiense food day. Don't ask why I said that. It was hot wings with fries. It smelled good and taste good.

Food that I eat for week for week one

On Monday I’ve ate on Monday is McDonald’s. An Extra value meal with consists of two cheeseburgers and a large french fries. Instead of having a coke I had an iced tea. Of course the fries are a lit salty for my taste. It was good. Tuesday I went to my local Chinese take-out restaurant and order some buffalo wings with fries. I may go get some pizza or McDonalds’ depending how I fell you know. Be sure to watch The Cafferty File special on CNN tonight at 8:00pm. Trust me you will enjoy it. And that’s the way it is for Wednesday September 19, 2007.

My Bio-Intro

Hi my name is Christopher Wayne De Lardge. I was born in New Hyde Park Long Island on May 5th 1985 at Long Island Jewish Hospital. I’m 22 years old. My background is African American-Belizean. I grew up in East Flatbush with my grandparents until I move with my moms when I was 7. I reside in South Ozone Park, Queens. I know a Brooklyn guy living in Queens sounds odd but I always will be a Brooklyn kid. I’m an only child which means I’m kind of spoiled sort of. However I wish I had a little sister or brother. I’m all around sports fan. I love football, basketball, baseball, and some tennis. I’m a huge New York Giants, New York Jets, San Diego Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns, New York Mets and Yankees fan. I know it’s hard to believe that I’m both a Mets and a Yankee fan but is what it is.
I’m the most fun-loving, laid back and crazy-unique that you would ever meet. My hobbies are playing video games, computers, watching TV, listen to the music, chilling, hanging out and enjoying life. I love Hip-hop, rap, R&B, jazz, reggae, Spanish music. My favorite music artists are Busta Rhymes, DMX, Jay-Z, Mary J. Beige, TLC, R. Kelly, and Sean Paul.
My major at LaGuardia is Media Studies. What I like most about media is to learn and find out how the media affects our life and the different modes of media. Mediums such as TV, Radio, Internet and books. My heroes in Television are CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, CBS News 60 Minutes Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley Jr.
My goals are in life is well to become a TV historian. I fell that we as a people forgotten the people, reporters and shows that shape our world of Television. As a Television gate keeper I can tell everyone how people like All of the Family creator Norman Lear, CBS News 60 Minutes Mike Wallace, CNN’s international reporter Christiane Amanpour, CBS News 60 Minutes Ed Bradley, and ABC News Peter Jennings. Just some of the names of the people that shape our world not just only journalism and as television as well. I hope you enjoy my introduction on my self. I will end it just like the great CBS Evening News Walter Cronkite ends. “And that’s the way it is for Tuesday September 11, 2007 good night”.
