"WGN news director Charlie Meyerson, good soldier that he is, passed on what he identified as Michaels' 'list of forbidden "newsspeak" words and phrases' in a memo to his staff Monday, with the explicit warning: 'Don't say them on WGN,' according to Robert Feder's blog.

Included on the list: "Alleged", area residents", "campaign trail", "diva", "incarcerated", "perfect storm", "reportedly", "untimely death", and "you folks".

You can see the complete list in Feder's post.

Blame Talk Radio if you're Senator John Kerry.

Jeff Poor writes at Newsbusters.org:

"...it's not ClimateGate - but the messenger who is at fault for growing hesitation to enact a cap-and-trade policy," according to Kerry. He quotes the Senator as saying, "The science 'has been maligned and misinterpreted, and we need to fight back . . . people [need to] stop being moved by these talk show [hosts]'".

That's a mouthful.

Basically, the new HD frequencies created by splitting the original frequency of WJFK-FM/The Fan in Washington, D.C. have become a "network" of sports stations in what CBS is calling a "quadcast".

So, if you have an HD radio, you can now hear WJZ-FM from Baltimore on the HD2 frequency, WFAN/New York on HD3, and Philadelphia's WIP on HD4.

Don't live in D.C.? Good news: all these stations are available online. Listen Now: WIP-AM, WJFK-FM, WJZ-FM, and WFAN-AM.
