      Bill Sad Over Hillary's Loss: Obama Adviser

      (Newser) - The buzz on John Edwards' love affair drowned out talk of Russia's conflict with Georgia on today's morning talk shows, Politico reports.

      Whoopi Reduces Hasselbeck to Tears Over N-Word

      (Newser) - A heated discussion of the N-word between View co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck ended in tears yesterday. Goldberg argued that black people should use the term to rob it of its power—and kept TV censors busy with her repeated use of the word. Hasselbeck fretted over how to teach her children not to say it when it was used by media figures, referring to Jesse Jackson's off-air slur during a Fox TV interview. More »

      Why Liberals Like Joe Scarborough

      (Newser) - Joe Scarborough was a conservative Republican congressman who gained office in the 1994 House sweep that launched Newt Gingrich. His MSNBC show Scarborough Country was initially devised as a like-minded answer to Bill O’Reilly.

Which could be why his new show, Morning Joe , has a surprisingly liberal following. More »

      Subdued Meet the Press Now Squirm-Free

      (Newser) - Meeting the press is a much more laid-back experience with Tom Brokaw temporarily in Tim Russert’s old seat, the New York Times reports. Hosting his first standard-format show yesterday, Brokaw “kept the mood at a sober but easygoing tempo,” writes Alessandra Stanley. But with the presidential race heating up, things were perhaps a little too cool in the studio, Stanley notes. More »

      First Austrian Cellar Girl Becomes Talk Show Host

      (Newser) - An Austrian woman who was held captive for more than 8 years has achieved her dream of hosting a talk show, the Guardian reports.
