A little of this and a little of that

 The Mets dumped major league hitting coordinator, not the same as an on-field batting coach, apparently, Ryan Ellis last month after allegations surfaced of----wait for it----sexual harassment. Ellis had been with the team the last few years, and just when you thought the story was over after GM Jared Porter was let go last month, it turns out Ellis was cut the same day. It just didn't get out until today.

At the end of the 70's, CBS suits decided that the "Tiffany of The Networks" didn't want to be pigeon-holed as a "superhero network", so Wonder Woman and Amazing Spider-Man were cancelled, and Incredible Hulk soldiered on for 3 more years, since that series was an amalgam of The Fugitive, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, & Les Miserables, and was at the front of the network's powerful Friday lineup with Dukes of Hazzard & Dallas behind it.

More than 40 years later, the CW, a half-sister to CBS, is starting to feel some comic book fatigue.

First, their adaptation of Archie Comics' Katy Keene was cancelled after 1 season. Then, it was decided that after a back-door pilot aired a year ago on Arrow, the proposed spin-off, Green Arrow & The Canaries, is not moving forward. Neither is Wonder Girl, which would've showcased DC's newest Amazon, Yara Flor, in adventures that predate her debut in DC's Future State event.

This I don't get. CW already has three series with female leads (Batwoman, Nancy Drew, Supergirl), one of which is ending later this year (Supergirl). Batwoman is also on the list of series with African-American leads, the others being All-American & Black Lightning, the latter also leaving after the current season. So what was the thinking in this case?

Ever since Fox Shmooze convinced a judge that Tabloid Carlson's nightly lie-fest is an opinion program, Carlson is leaning more toward amateur night comedy in an attempt to be a primetime rip-off of Comedy Central's long running Daily Show. The difference, of course, is that Carlson's idea of "fake news" might as well be written for the National Enquirer.

The latest example of Carlson's idea of yellow journalism came Tuesday when he tried to suggest that President Biden's marriage to wife Jill, 44 years and counting, was a PR stunt of some kind.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

But, actually, we have to ask Carlson this pertinent question:

Jealous much?

What he was trying to sell his audience wasn't an opinion, but a poor attempt at satire. I don't know what journalism school Tabloid went to, and I know he has all the entertainment value of bread mold, but unless he offers a disclaimer at the start of his show, he's risking a defamation suit.

"His audience doesn't care, do they?"

No, they don't. Between them and Tabloid, the collective IQ is in negative triple digits.

That being said, Carlson gets the Dunce Cap this week.
