Thursday said the studios pressed to have INTV President Preston Padden included in the talks, but they are said to have backed down because they feared the networks would break off talks if they kept pushing for Mr. Padden's inclusion.

  • What Is the Current Definition of the O'reilly Factor?
    What is the Current Definition of the O’Reilly Factor? The highest rated cable talk show or a new term for sexual harassment and a further loss of media credibility? Scott Sobel, M.A. Media Psychology, Senior Strategy and Communications Executive, Kglobal Note: This article was updated 4/4/2017 at 1:45 PM ET. The American public’s collective head is spinning as we wonder if we are in a real-life and sick version of the old game show, Who Do You Trust? We are barely into the first trimester of 2017. We are already neck-deep in political scandals and now there’s yet another public disgrace to gawk at. This time, allegations against Fox host Bill O’Reilly are the fodder for a Sunday section feature story in the New York Times. It’s a follow-up to the he-said-she-said drama that ended in the dismissal of former Fox head Roger Ailes for similar charges. To clarify, The New York Times notes that a total of five women were found to have received payments, totaling about $13 million, for agreeing not to pursue litigation or speak publicly about their accusations. Of the five settlements, two were previously uncovered and reported on, one in 2004 and the other late last year. For his part O’Reilly denies the allegations in each instance. There are sooooo many questions to be answered. The psychology of studying the impact of the media, especially the news media and politics covered by the media, was never simple. Now the implications of media crises of credibility may have drastic implications for how we do business, react politically, manage relationships and how we, as communicators, remain credible.

  • Michael Clayton, Hollywood's Contemporary Hero-Lawyer
    Michael Clayton, Hollywood’s Contemporary Hero-Lawyer: Beyond Outsider Within and Insider Without ∗ Orit Kamir I. INTRODUCTION When we think of “outsiders” in the context of law, those who often come to mind are members of disenfranchised minorities, such as the mentally challenged. But in many of Hollywood’s lawyer films, the paradigmatic and perhaps most interesting outsider is the lawyer himself. The lawyer protagonist is often an “outsider within” his community, the legal culture, or his law firm. (When the cinematic lawyer is a woman, she is often “twice removed” from the on-screen world’s “inside” sphere.) In many law films, the cinematic lawyer often transcends the boundaries of the film’s community, of its legal world, of the cinematic law firm, or even of the law itself, becoming “the insider without.” The lawyer, then, evolves from an outsider within to an insider without, at times coming full circle and returning to the outsider within status. A cinematic lawyer who is a true insider and operates strictly within the law, society, his law firm, and the legal world is often portrayed as unreliable and corrupt. Justice, Hollywood tells us, is not often upheld by “insiders within.” The fashioning of the cinematic lawyer as an outsider within and an insider without is a predominant theme in law films from the early 1960s to this day. Yet it has undergone significant transformations. In the early 1960s, the heyday of lawyer films, the lawyer, a hero, was an outsider within an immoral community, entrenched in its old, anachronistic ways. His resistance and transcendence of his community’s values served higher principles, paving the way to progressive social change.

  • Fox News Panelists Get Into Heated Exchange After Cohen Testimony: ‘I’M Gonna Throw You Off the Set’ Owen Daugherty the Hill, 02/27/19 08:28 PM EST
    Fox News panelists get into heated exchange after Cohen testimony: ‘I’m gonna throw you off the set’ Owen Daugherty The Hill, 02/27/19 08:28 PM EST Fox News commentators Greg Gutfeld and Juan Williams got into a heated exchange Wednesday after Michael Cohen’s testimony to a House committee, with Gutfeld threatening to throw Williams “off the set.” The two men started trading verbal jabs on the Fox News show “The Five” when Williams accused Gutfeld of being “so deep in the bunker,” apparently a reference to Gutfeld’s support of President Trump. Cohen, Trump's former attorney, made damaging allegations against Trump in his testimony on Wednesday before the House Oversight and Reform Committee. “Oh, shut up, Juan! I’m in nobody’s bunker. Enough with your bunker. I’m trying to be polite to somebody on the panel, Juan, which you won’t do,” Gutfeld responded, arguing that he was trying to give another panelist the chance to talk when he was interrupted by Williams. Moments later, host Jesse Watters said Cohen provided “no documentation, no corroboration, no witnesses of any Russian collusion, any Trump Tower advanced knowledge” during his hearing. Williams responded by bringing up details about Roger Stone and Donald Trump Jr.that Cohen laid out during his testimony and said Waters is “so blind because you, like Greg, are deep in the bunker.” Gutfeld immediately fired back, saying, “If you say that again, I’m going to throw you off the set. You know what the bunker means? What you’re intimating is that — who’s in the bunker, Adolf Hitler, correct?” “No, I was not!” Williams said, arguing Gutfeld was “so far off” and “in a weak position.” Watters put an end to the back-and-forth by asking another panelist for comment on the Cohen hearing.
