(Newser) – Who says journalism is dead?

Kate Plus 8 Gets the Boot

TLC dumps show, Kate Gosselin looking ahead to book writing, dating

(NEWSER) - Kate and her 8 have finally been shown the gate. TLC officials have announced they're not renewing the contract for Kate Plus 8 (formerly Jon and Kate Plus 8 before Jon left for greener pastures with fewer children).

Cooper Enrages Journalists With Actual Journalism

Calling a lie a 'lie' isn't the same as 'taking sides': Glenn Greenwald

(NEWSER) - Anderson Cooper has been using the word “lie” a lot in recent days while describing statements made by Mubarak and his regime. Despite the fact that the statements he’s describing are “factually false,” his liberal use of the word “lie” has gotten Cooper mocked and questioned by fellow journalists, writes Glenn Greenwald on Salon .

Jon, Kate Must Take Parenting Class

Maybe it'll help. Or not.

(NEWSER) - Finally, someone has realized Jon and Kate Gosselin’s parenting skills leave a lot to be desired. The judge in their custody dispute ordered the reality show stars to take a 3-hour parenting class, TMZ reports. Apparently it’s required for all Berks County parents fighting for custody, but we’ll just pretend it’s because the judge finds Jon’s bed-hopping and Ed-Hardy-wearing-ways as bad an example as we do.

Gosselin saga takes weird, speculative turn

(NEWSER) - Jon Gosselin wouldn't say no to returning to TV with ex-wife Kate and their eight kids "under the right circumstances," his lawyer tells TMZ . Jon & Kate Plus 8 2.0 may be a tough sell, however, given that he and TLC have sued each other , and he's currently pushing to take over primary custody of the kids. More»
