It's from Auto-Tuning The News, and it features the words of news people from CNN, FOX News, and CBS News (along with Hillary Clinton) put to a song. Not just their words, but they actually sing the song themselves through some neat electronic trickery. It doesn't really get going until the section with Katie Couric, which is really well done. I can't wait for the extended mix on that part.

Another waste of bandwidth!
Sorry, this isn't "awesome". It's boring, amateurish, and something that should *ONLY* be available on YouTube.
Joel seems to think that these posts are worthy of something Bob. Why? I almost posted a comment yesterday - as a reply to a comment - explaining that it IS filler. It exists only because you all have this (underdeserved) belief that you need this crap because "it's business".
Well, it's now getting close to my never visiting this site again. That's how bad this crap is.
Here's how you do a Flash-filled post:

Now, THAT was good. And guess what Bob/Joel? It was on your blog!
This? "neat electronic trickery"? "Can't wait for the extended mix"?
Oh.
My.
God.
So - have I pegged the moment when TV Squad jumped the shark?
I think not - I was late by a week.

Maybe, but he's absolutely right about everything. This site has just deteriorated into trash.

Well I for one enjoyed it! The Martin Luther King one that same guy did is 100 times better though. :)

There have been some questionable posts on here lately (see: everyone hates these new PC commercials post) but I actually enjoyed this find/posting.

The Katie Couric bit was the best part, and really, the only good part. I saw this on Rachel Maddow earlier in the week and thought the segment had potential, but could have been done a lot better. Couric is the only one who has any melody.
