Wogan Wages War On The Anchorman « Jon Bernstein

www.thetwittergossip.com - <div><div class="snap_preview" readability="16"><p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-875" title="Ron_Burgundy_Anchorman" src="http://jonbernstein.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/ron_burgundy_anchorman1.jpg?w=150&amp;h=143" alt="Ron_Burgundy_Anchorman" width="150" height="143" />As I’m sure my latest hero Ron Wood will tell you, reading the news is a difficult, <a href="http://jonbernstein.wordpress.com/2009/09/03/ron-wood-abc-anchorman-stung-by-youtube/" target="_blank">even dangerous</a>, business.</p>
<p>Not so, says Sir Terry Wogan. The Radio 2 presenter dismisses it as a <a href="http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Sir-Terry-Wogan-Says-Reading-The-News-Is-A-Piece-Of-Cake/Article/200909115373971?lpos=UK_News_First_UK_News_Article_Teaser_Region_4&amp;lid=ARTICLE_15373971_Sir_Terry_Wogan_Says_Reading_The_News_Is_A_Piece_Of_Cake" target="_blank">piece of cake</a>, performed by the “self-important”.</p>
<p>Indeed, he says all you need to do is:</p>
<blockquote readability="4"><p>Get your good suit on and tie on, a quick dab in make up, make yourself comfy and here comes the six o’clock news, all written nicely and clearly before your eyes.</p></blockquote>
<p>Over at the old place, Jon Snow unsurpisingly has a slightly different take. Writing on his <a href="http://blogs.channel4.com/snowblog/2009/09/03/newsreadings-a-piece-of-cake-eh/" target="_blank">Snowblog</a>, the Channel 4 News presenter says:</p>
<blockquote readability="6"><p>It’s a piece of cake so long as you can absent yourself from any involvement in generating the material that you are reading.</p>
<p>The moment you combine newsreading with actual journalism, going after stories, trying to find out stuff, and the rest, it becomes much harder.</p></blockquote>
<p>To say nothing of dealing with <a href="http://jonbernstein.wordpress.com/2009/09/03/ron-wood-abc-anchorman-stung-by-youtube/" target="_blank">bee stings</a> and <a href="http://jonbernstein.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/fox-news-anchor-to-rupert-murdoch-mr-chairman-sir-why-are-you-so-great/" target="_blank">interviewing your big boss</a>.</p>
