Most annoying is Cosell's chapter on Monday Night Football. He constantly describes the telecast as something that transcends sport, a program which had to appeal to more than just the Bud-toting football fan, but also to wives, children, students, and occasional sports fans. Cosell, according to Cosell, was of course the key ingredient to that recipe, and Frank Gifford, O.J. Simpson, and Don Meredith were just a bunch of dumb jocks thrown in the booth as personal favors from Roone Arledge. Cosell even has the gall to say that the only reason Gifford still...
...conservative movement, despite successes within the S.B.C. and its large numbers and ample cash flow elsewhere, is still fractionalized, contentious, inherently anti-institutional and dependent upon dynamic leaders who come and go. Conservative Protestant agencies often have considerable difficulty planning anything beyond tomorrow's telecast or next month's budget. The movement is thin on cultural awareness, scholarship and intellectual staying power...
Farfetched? No doubt. But when Tu o Nadie (Nobody but You), the Mexican novela that spun this improbable yarn, was telecast on Los Angeles' KMEX last spring, it drew more viewers for its time slot than any other independent station in the area.

Scrupulously researched, the $5.6 million project recounted the complex history of the war with admirable thoroughness and dispassion. The series was widely praised as a comprehensive and balanced piece of work, and it won a host of major journalism awards, including six Emmys...
Some have charged that PBS succumbed to at least indirect pressure from the Reagan Administration to telecast the AIM program. The film was partly funded by a $30,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, awarded by then NEH Chief William Bennett, now Reagan's Secretary of Education. The program was later given a special screening at the White House, to which PBS officials were invited. Such interest at the top levels of Government, critics say, can hardly be ignored by a TV service depending on federal funds for its existence...
