Pause
I have had to pause transferring videotapes due to time limitations from doing political stuff. I will resume posting clips in November. Believe me, I cannot wait to get back to normal...
Meanwhile, this is an excellent sketch from The Carol Burnett Show (1991) (canceled after two months):

Part 1 of Nancy Kerrigan Interview Uplinks for the Media
______________________
Background on Nancy Kerrigan Clips from Wikipedia:
Kerrigan gained considerable fame beyond the skating world when, on January 6, 1994, she was clubbed in the right knee with a collapsible police baton by Shane Stant at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships at Cobo Arena in Detroit, an assault planned by rival Tonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and friend Shawn Eckardt.[13]
Kerrigan was captured on camera after the attack grabbing her knee and wailing "Why, why, why". This video became a staple of nearly every news organization in the days after the attack.[citation needed] Although Kerrigan's injury forced her to withdraw from the U.S. Championships, her rivals agreed that she merited one of the two spots on the Olympic team.[14] The USFSA chose to name her to the Olympic team rather than second-place finisher Michelle Kwan.[15]
Kerrigan recovered quickly from her knee injury and resumed her intensive training. She practiced by doing complete back-to-back double runthroughs of her programs, until she felt completely confident in her ability to compete under pressure.[16] At the same time, the fame she had acquired from the attack led to further professional opportunities; it was reported that she had already signed contracts for $9.5 million before the Olympic competition beganSeven weeks after the attack, Kerrigan skated what she considered to be the best two performances of her life[16] and won the silver medal in the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics at the Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre, finishing second to Oksana Baiul. Kerrigan had won the short program, but lost the free skate to Baiul in a close and controversial 5–4 decision.[citation needed] CBS Television further played up the controversy by portraying it as a Cold War east/west split, particularly singling out German judge Jan Hoffmann for supposed biased judging.[18]
Then, while Kerrigan and bronze medalist Chen Lu waited over 20 minutes for Olympic officials to find a copy of the Ukrainian anthem, someone mistakenly told Kerrigan the delay in the presentation was because Baiul was putting on make-up. Kerrigan, showing obvious frustration, was caught on-camera saying "Oh, come on. So she's going to get out here and cry again. What's the difference?"[19] CBS chose to air the undiplomatic comment, marking a distinct shift in the way Kerrigan was portrayed in the media, which had been somewhat protective of her image up to that point because of the attack against her.[20]
Kerrigan then chose not to attend the closing ceremonies at the Olympics; her agent claimed this was because Norwegian security had advised her not to do so due to death threats that had been made against her, but this was later denied.[20] Instead, Kerrigan left Norway to take part in a pre-arranged publicity parade at Walt Disney World, her $2 million sponsor. During the parade, she was caught on microphone saying "This is dumb. I hate it. This is the most corniest thing I have ever done."[21] She later said her remarks had been taken out of context: she was commenting not on being in the parade, but on having to wear her silver medal in the parade because showing off and bragging about her accomplishments was something that her parents had always taught her not to do. She went on to say that she had nothing against Disney or Mickey Mouse by responding, "Whoever could find fault with Mickey Mouse? He's the greatest mouse I've ever known."[22]
News articles described Kerrigan as "grumpy" and "bitchy", as well as shy and uncomfortable with the attention that was focused on her as a result of the attack.[23] Commenting on the media backlash, Mike Barnicle of The Boston Globe said "Now the thing is over so we've got to kill her. That's us [the media], not her."[24] Whether as a result of the bad publicity or her own inclinations, some of Kerrigan's previously-announced endorsement and television deals were dropped following the Olympics.[20]

While President Bush attended an international drug summit in Colombia, the source of much of the cocaine that floods this country, Vice President Quayle visited cocaine-addicted babies and met with a neighborhood patrol yesterday to see what he called "the other end of the drug pipeline" in Washington.
Quayle spent about an hour at Greater Southeast Community Hospital, where he met with administrators who told him they need more federal money and then visited seven infants born at the hospital to drug-addicted mothers. The babies, from 1 to 6 months, are known as boarder babies because they are medically ready to be discharged but have no place to go.

Success is nice but.....
Well, success is nice. My test videos of one David Letterman excerpt and commercials attached separately are getting a number of hits out there on Youtube. They were only haphazardly seeded with index terms which may be the way I continue. My problem with this is that I know I can be asked to take videos down from Youtube. I have a lot to post and would hate to have the venue lost to me before I even get everything transfered. I will be actively looking for other avenues in which to post clips. There are some clips which could go viral but this is not my goal. I really want to just expose the news making process from this historic period.
I will need to advertise this blog on Youtube with the clips as my backlog builds because this blog is an index of sorts and should Youtube or any other place back down, I don't really want to lose people who may share my interest.
Next I will test a few CNN backhaul feeds as an introduction to what they are. Before the first Gulf War CNN had live "wild feeds" or backhaul feeds that were unencrypted. A portion of the 24/7 news process is open to see. Personalities come out, there are embarassing moments, etc. All of these show just a little about how CNN used to work before they had Fox News to compete with. My oppinion is that is the final period of actual news in America. CNN was bringing wider world coverage, more in depth coverage, because that was the way news people thought. You can see the ratings game here but it has not taken over. CNN was at the same time strengthening news and killing it.
The backhaul feeds portray them as sort of lumbering, being the only game of their kind in town. I am not sure how many of these I have left but I will try to weed through them to at least show some of the more interesting things. Seeing a news anchor waiting endlessly for a cue is hardly that interesting but over time any work place can become interesting to the child who is brought to work on kids day. :)
Anyway I hope you enjoy the relics left of my particular obsession, or that this blog finds one or two who are amused by things.
More video posts at least by this weekend.

Back in Business
We have a vast shipment of slightly used VHS favorites from the old days of Michael's odd television choices. All future entries will be from my own personal VHS tape collection. That last entry was a trial entry. In fact, this whole blog is a trial of the worst kind. I hope to figure out a format that is easy and informative. This is a hobby. I don't expect everyone to be interested in everything but there are a few gems that might just be very interesting. The things I can remember are: CNN backhaul feeds (probably never posted anywhere), a huge haul of Beatles related materials (many already posted on Youtube, and I will try not to duplicate unless I feel my quality to be better or different in some aspect), odds and ends that I taped for the fun of it, a few for the historical value, and I will post as many commercials as I can find hidden on my tapes. Earlier in my life I was obsessed with television. This is not true any more. Television is highly disappointing to me now except for the rare moment of journalism or well written drama. Television is still the most powerful educational media ever invented and it is mostly used for popular junk. I hope to add some history to the morass that is far less important than I ever dreamed it would be.
