Even though now former NBCer Conan O’Brien has been widely rumored to be jumping to Fox this fall, David Zurawik at baltimoresun.com reports that may of Fox’s affiliates may not be so keen on clearing time for a network talk show at 11 PM, when many stations run news or syndicated shows. Says Bill Fanshawe of Baltimore’s Fox affiliate, Sinclair-owned Channel 45/WBFF: “If there was an opportunity and the network got Conan, for us, one of the biggest factors would involve us having a brand (local news) built at 10 and 11 – and established in those time periods. But if there was some flexibility… and they would consider having Conan come on after 11:30, yes, there could be an opportunity at my particular Fox station in Baltimore”…..

“The news you need, straight down the middle.” That is the mantra of Center Maryland the latest entrant into Maryland’s political blogosphere/new media arena.

Center Maryland decries the “incentives in Maryland’s political system are set up to elect and reward behavior that drives our public discourse toward narrow political extremes.” Center Maryland’s founders claim they are not about “people or posturing,” rather they seek to create a “platform to advance reasonable and responsible policies,” and “common ground” on “common sense policies.”

Don’t believe the hype. Center Maryland is indeed an ideological/partisan enterprise masking itself in the baroque language of pragmatic centrism where all good things are compatible and that hard choices are false choices offered by zealous partisans.

When I see such neither right nor left split-the-difference rhetoric, my bullshit meter instantly redlines.

A quick look at Central Maryland’s founders instantly belies it’s claim of moderate centrism. They are nearly all former hacks from the O’Malley political machine.

A source tells us: “Interactive reps will now sell the failing print products and are forced to join the Guild. Print reps receive a number of new online accounts. Clients and the interactive design team get the shaft. It’s taken the new Clear Channel/Tribune team less than two years to destroy the number one website in Maryland”
