Posted October 1, 200618 yr Carl Monday and his investigative reporting has spurred a national phenomena. The multiple segments on pornography/masturbation in public libraries has gained a large internet audience. Recently the Daily Show sent a correspondent to Cleveland to hunt down Monday. Its pretty funny. You have to watch this. There are a number of city shots included in the segment. I don't know why but I thought it was interesting that Monday appears to live downtown in the Warehouse District on W.10th. Here is a You Tube link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kmYl_R5eb58 Jason Jones pleads for an interview with Carl Monday (via wkyc.com) Carl Monday inverviews Jones on WKYC: http://www.wkyc.com/video/player.aspx?aid=26989&bw= Carl Monday's Blog (http://www.wkyc.com/weblog/carlmonday/2006/09/john-stewart-crew-confronts-carl.html) Sunday, September 24, 2006 John Stewart Crew Confronts Carl Monday It's 7:30am...and a "reporter" and two photographers are camped out at the end of my driveway. Wait...isn't that my job? The "reporter" approaches and barks out something like this......"Carl, I'm a big fan of yours. How do you like going after sleeze bags?" This must be some kind of a joke. Well, in fact it is. The kind you find on Comedy Central. More to the point, the cable commedy icon....John Stewart Show. Yea, I know the guy is enormously popular...even hosted the Oscars....but at 11pm..I'm usually watching the local news and admit to not owning Tivo.
October 1, 200618 yr The bit aired on Thursday's Daily Show. I watched it today on the TiVo--what a riot! Looks like Carl was a bit uncomfortable being exposed for the hack he is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmYl_R5eb58
October 2, 200618 yr I loved the bit where Jones goes to WKYC studios and dramatizes the encounter with the receptionist.
October 2, 200618 yr Someone needs to give Carl a spell-checker and a crash course on punctuation. I've run into too many reporters in broadcast media who think they are writers. But ask them to write a story in AP Wire Style and I'll bet most will have no idea what you're talking about. Will they admit to it? Hell no!

October 2, 200618 yr I have a question? Why the hell was Carl "driving" to work. Hell he works 20 blocks or so from his house!!!
