• Corner 3 to Perform at Bougainvillea's on New Year's Eve

  The local alt-rock trio Corner 3 may have only formed in 2007, but the band is based on a longtime friendship, begun when the trio's members were students at Columbus High in the Eighties. Frontman/guitarist/keyboardist John Lopez and bassist/vocalist Rick Sanchez began their music collaboration while still in school, and over the years have  played together in a number of  bands. (The threesome is rounded out by drummer Ivan Palma.)  According to Lopez, the band's name was part

• Rick Sanchez's Crack Shame

  Rick Sanchez is our favorite twitter friend ever, but when he started tweeting last night about heady topics such as God, Hitler, and Torquemada, we thought he might be on something. Then he posted, "i am high on crack right now might not be coming to work today." Aha! Rick Sanchez, we always knew it! As if we needed another reason to make sure he was kept off the road. Turns out Twitter got hacked along with the likes of Fox News ("Breaking News: Bill O Riley [sic] Is Gay") and Britney Spears

• Rick Sanchez Compares Joe the Plumber to Castro

  The McCain campaign gave us two gifts that keep on giving (and I mean that in the same way I would if I were talking about herpes): Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber. For whatever reason, these two won't go away. Sure, Sarah Palin is a governor, but Joe the Plumber is... What in hell is he again?Well, this week he's playing war correspondent for Pajamas Media, and he's over in Israel saying asinine crap like, "I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting."Love him or hate him, Rick

• The Excited Kid At the Obama Rally. There is a Video of Him.

  The stimulus package Barack Obama is pushing will be a defining part of his presidency, and these events that he's held the past couple of days should be treated as sort of historic. Yet, at the end of the day all we care about is that Obama said some funny thing about Charlie Crist and a hose and this very excited kid in the audiance. Sigh. Though, if you don't understand the Stimulus package by now, you probably don't care. So, here is this video. From Rick Sanchez's show none the less. [via

• Rick Sanchez Sets Media Standards for a New Generation

  Rick Sanchez's transformation from WSVN's "If it bleeds, it leads" main man to king of media Twitterdom continues to astound and amaze. After Sanchez began his new CNN show complete with your Twitters, it has become de facto for journalists to figure out this whole Twitter thing. Even the Miami Herald is into it. But the use of Twitter in news content is a brave new area, and Internet hero Sanchez is here to settle correct Twitter standards forever. In 20 years, when science finds ways to inte

• Pitts Has a Vague Idea About Twitter and He Doesn't Like It

  Don't ask Leonard Pitts Jr. Note to Leonard Pitts Jr.: If you want to demonstrate the differences between old-style media and the new, social internet media you might want to understand what you're talking about first before dashing off a 600-plus word column on it. Pitts' Herald column today takes Twitter to task, in a fashion that woefully misunderstands the internet phenom. "[Twitter] is supposed to bring interested parties up to date on what you are doing, seeing, thinking, in that exact mom

• Should Maggie Rodriguez's Friendship With Father Cutié Disqualify Her Coverage?

  Earlier today CBS's Early Show announced that they've score the first, sit-down interview with Father Alberto Cutié. Maggie Rodriguez, a Miami native and former CBS4 anchor, is set to do the interview, however she's admitted that Cutié is "a family friend whom I've known for many, many years." Should this disqualify her from reporting on the story? NewsBusters, a conservative media watchdog site whose stated mission is to "expose liberal bias," seems to think so: On Thursday, Rodrigu

• Rick Sanchez and Bill O'Reilly Get in Media Catfight

  Best Of is coming up, and I'm sure that's always Rick Sanchez's favorite issue. After all, back in the days of Rick's time on WSVN, we used to have a category called "Least Credible News Personality" that he won so many times we named it after him. But ever since Rick went to CNN and got Twitter-obsessed, we've been slowly warming up to him. Bill O'Reilly, though, isn't a fan (by the way, did you know that Bill O'Reilly used to be a film critic at the Miami Herald years and years ago?).

• WTVJ's Nick Bogert Leaving for Chicago

  TV news is hurting. The best are deserting us. Nick Bogert, the WTVJ smart guy who has provided some politics and substance along with the gore on the local airwaves, will depart for Chicago this fall. He's covered everything from hurricanes to the fall of commissioners such as Joe Gersten, Miller Dawkins, and Humberto Hernandez. He's helped us understand the news. That's a rapidly disappearing quality. He's also my neighbor and I'll miss him. Thanks to SFLTV for reporting this first. Also out
