Read MoreWCAU in Philly was doing a local angle to the New Pope story. Like most times when a station tries to localize a international story it was boring.
But watch the guy on the back left of the screen give his buddy a wet willie during the live shot.
The guy that shot this video I'm sure had watched it a few times before he decided to record it and post it to YouTube. But he still snickered like a 5th grader as the guy gives his buddy the wet digit.
I'm betting you'll snicker as well when you watch it.

Sunbeam claimed that Nielsen was a monopoly, which in our opinion they totally are.
But the courts didn't see it that way.

His show is supposed to be about the media and their coverage of the news.
This week Howie picked a number of topics to cover.
The Jay Leno debacle at NBC. Another new about Fox Boss Roger Ailes. The Daily Caller’s ailing story on Sen. Robert Menendez and a few other stories were packed into Howie's show.
But one story that seemed to get at least as much play as some of those above was CNN's awful coverage of the Steubenville Rape Case Verdict.
Howie's excuse as to why he didn't cover the story after the Jump

Griffin thinks that MSNBC has Fox News on the ropes and the cable giant is going down in the next year.
In a story in The New Republic in which glows so much about Griffin, you might think he wrote it himself. Griffin feels MSNBC is hitting it's stride and will soon be running right past Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and the rest of the gang at Fox News.

Before he even goes to the bathroom, Shep checks in with his partner that sleeps in bed with him every night.

When ABC's Robin Roberts returned to the air just 5 months after a bone marrow transplant, everyone was happy to return.
It was an amazing story of a woman that had courage and the fight to take on a procedure that quite frankly is often fatal to the patient.
When Roberts was leaving GMA to have her transplant, the ousted Today Anchor wanted to show her support in some small way. She wanted to send out a Tweet to her million plus followers showing Roberts that she was in her thoughts.
It was another class act by Ann Curry, but it was never seen by her followers or anyone else.

NY Mag writes "For a few days in late March, Iger, Zucker, and Sherwood all believed they had been told by both Lauer and his agent, Ken Linder, that Lauer was coming to ABC. In their minds, the deal was done, with only the legalities to be worked out."
But it didn't and ABC was pissed. Read that after the Jump
Read MoreIt's another YouTube video of a parody of a TV Reporter.
But after watching it, we'll bet it reminds you of at least one or two people you know.
For most of his career, Matt Lauer was the golden boy. Women wanted to date him. Men wanted to be him.
That's not the case anymore.
Ever since Matt Lauer did his part to get Co-Host Ann Curry dumped from the Today Show. he has had a big target on his back.
This morning New York Magazine takes a shot at the target and hits a bullseye.

Hayes is taking over Ed "I was Not Demoted" Schultz's 8PM time slot at MSNBC. 'Up' is being taken over by Steve Kornacki, currently co-host of "The Cycle" (you haven't heard of him or that show either).

Read MoreWKBW (Buffalo) News Director Polly Van Doren has monumental task before her.
It's kind of like being handed the steering wheel of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.
Doren is the relatively new News Director of WKBW, a station that used to be one of the most dominate in the country.

KBW went from First to Worst in the matter of just a couple of ratings books back in the early 2000's and it continues to live in the ratings basement ever since.
After the Jump, find out why Van Doren is moving a picture out of the station's lobby to try and help ratings.
Read MoreIn big markets it's not uncommon for stations to have news helicopters that have 3, 4, 5 or even more cameras on board.
But, when you're in a small market, you have to do it more economically, which is the fancy word for cheap.
WTXL in Tallahassee, Florida has teamed up with a helicopter school to get the market's first ever news chopper.
Don't look for 5 on board cameras in this baby.
