Wow, we’re heading into new territory. Exciting, no? This is our first Fictional Journalist of the Day that is based on an actual journalist! There will be more to come. Also, if we have to tell you who this is and who it’s supposed to be, you should be ashamed of yourself.
We’ll tell you anyway, [...]

Life just ain’t fair

Greedy rich fat cats got you down? If not, here’s a couple reasons why you should be mad.
And here’s why you should be mad at those greedy idiots who didn’t know what they were doing in the first place!
It just ain’t fair I tells ya. It ain’t fair.

When less is more: Why sometimes it’s best to just stick to what you know

Here’s a perfect example of why not everyone needs a public forum. We were actually going to just put this in the FJOTD, but we decided this needed some extra space. So yesterday on AOL’s TVSquad, blogger Jay Black had an interesting idea on why the media should shut up about the struggling U.S. [...]

FJOTD: Maya Gallo

Hello friends!
I apologize about the lateness of todays yesterday’s Fictional Journalist of the Day. Due to circumstances beyond my control (also known as work laziness and general procrastination) I wasn’t able to provide you with our FJOTD at the appropriate time. We cool? Ok great. (Insert hip handshake here.)
So today’s FJOTD is from the now defunct (but fully syndicated) Just Shoot Me. [...]

The (Selective) Information Age

Remember how cool it was when Google first came out with its customizable home page?

Google users were given the opportunity to dote over their home on the web — no, not their MySpace, their homepage. It was really cool how you could pick out things like “word of the day,” a fun flower pot that [...]

FJOTD: Kermit The Frog

Hi all! Today’s Fictional Journalist of the Day is our first one of the nonhuman sort. His name? Kermit the Frog! He’s had a wonderful, wonderful career with Sesame Street News and in our opinion, is probably one of the best frog reporters ever!

More on Kermit after the jump! First, our links:
Pulitzers are out! Washington [...]

FJOTD: Howard Beale!

Hey! Long time no see! Now, you probably saw this one coming. Today’s Fictional Journalist of the Day is none other than Howard Beale of the iconic 1976 movie Network. Why? Because he’s mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore! That, and he was “the first known instance of a [...]

FJOTD: Two for One Special!

We’d like to apologize for going MIA yesterday. We’re just going to blame it on technical difficulties and move on from it. To make it up to you, we’re giving you not one, not one and a half, but TWO Fictional Journalists of the Day! Today!
For this selection, we have chosen Andy Sachs and Miranda [...]

Perez Hilton and John Mayer… really?

So supposedly, Perez Hilton and John Meyer hooked up! Is this some mean day after April Fools day joke?

Said Perez:
FYI: Mayer’s rep did NOT deny this. Cuz it’s true.
P.S. John’s a really good kisser!
