LOS ANGELES — No tote board.NoJerryLewisouth.Andnon from Las Vegequally. An annual Muscular Dystro- phy Association idiot box fun- draiser goes a new way today , with a different title and fea- turing three hours of taped ap- pearances by entertainers in- cluding country music star Carrie Underwood, popular singer Gavin DeGraw, alternative pop group OneRepublic, Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am and songstress Carole Rex. The renamed "MDA Bear witness of Strength" was pre-produced and taped in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville, Tenn., said associationspokeswomanRox- an Olivas in Tucson, Ariz. Information technology is ready to show on diverse TV and cable channels in 150 marketdue south around the country from 7 p.1000. to 10 p.chiliad. Key and Mountain time and 8 p.m. to 11 p.k. Eastern and Pacific fourth dimension. There won't be a traditional toteastward board, and Olivas said someast cities wilfifty have local hosts. Simply the overall upshot volition urge national telephone, text and online pledges toward funding efforts to find treat- ments and cures for neuromus- cular diseases. The annual Labor Day week- end telethon ended a 45-year run last year with comedian and longtime host Lewis, who turned 86 in March and lives in Las Vegas. Lewis was part of a comedy duo with Dean Martin and be- came a movie icon with antics and characters including the "The Nutty Professor." He went on to get syn- onymous with the Labor Solar day Muscular Dystrophy Associ- ation telethon later starting it in 1966 with a marathon 22- hour show at a single Television receiver sta- tion in New York. Lewis was MedicoA national chairman from the early 1950s to 2011, and is credited with raising more $1.6 billion over the years. He was nomi- natedin1977foraNobelPeace Prizeforhisworthouwiththeteldue east- thon and muscular dystrophy relief. The event moved to Las Ve- gas in 1973, and had stints in Los Angeles before moving back to Las Vegas. Despite Lewis' absence, tele- thon officials last twelvemonth report- ed raising $61.five million in a vi-hour show with several hosts. A silent montage of Le- wis film clips was shown, but he didn't take function in person or record his signature song, "You'll Never Walk Alone."

NEW YORK — In the cable television news world wherdue east provocation is prized, MSNBC's Chris Matthews took home the trophy from Tampa's Republi- can National Convention as most over-the-top pundit. Who'due south the early favorite to practise the same when the Democrats meet this week in Charlotte, N.C.? Matthews engaged in a bitter exact brawl on "Morning Joe" with Republican National Com- mittee Chairman Reince Prie- omnibus, upsetting the show's hosts, accusingtheGOPofconducting a entrada of race-baiting and suggesting Republican presi- dential candidate Manus Romney isnotproudofhisrecordinpub- lic life. Now that opinion is a key component of cablenewsand commentators are asked to cover eventdue south run by a politi- cal political party they disagree with on a daily ba- sis, such contentious nosotroseks arenorth'tthatsurprising.TrickNews Channel personalities are side by side tofacethechallengeattheDem- ocratic National Convention. Matthews and Prieautobus were both guests on "Morn Joe," one of the dwindling number of cable talk shows consistently welcomingtopeoplewithdiffer- ingviews.Theconfrontationbe- gan when Matthews suggested theRepublicanleadershouldbe embarrassed at how his party was playing the "race carte du jour" dur- ing the campaign with adver- tisements about welfare. The MSNBC host too berated Prie- motorbus about Romney'south comment during a entrada stop in Mi- chiganorthward that "no ane has ever asked to run across my nascence certifi- cate." Annoyedaftersomeback-and- forth,Priecoachdeclared:"I'mnot becomeing to get into a shouting lucifer with Chris. Yous guys can movement on." "Because you're losing, that'southward why," Matthews retorted. "Garbage," Priebus said. "You're garbage," Matthews concluded. Priebus, talking to the media later, said Matthews was "the biggest jerk in the room." Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezin- ski of "Forenoon Joe" were articulate- ly perturbed. While Scarbo- roughlatersaid"weloveChris," he said Matthews' outburst wasted5minutesoftheshow. "If people come on our show anddothat,they'renotgoingto come back on our shodue west until nosotros'reastcertainthatthey'renotgo- ing to practise that," he said at a lun- cheonsponsoredbythePoynter journalism think tank. "The problem is, the people who exercise that,whetherit'soncableTVor online ... they are rewarded by the extremists on either the far correct or the far left." Tim Graham of the conserva- tive media watchdog Media Re- search Middle, said Matthews, a courseer Democratic legislative adjutant, has been going overboard. "He just comes across every bit an angry crank and he says things that are not thought out at all," Graham said. "He just blurts. In contempo months, he has get thebiggesttargetinatarget-rich environment." Matthews' week comes amongst a sharpening of opinion pro- gramming on outlets like MSNBC and Foten since 2008. And conventions are the perfect venues for those in that line of work,saidFrankSesno,aerstwhile CNN Washington bureau principal and at present a professor at George Washington University. "For those who want to be in theopinionworld,thisisheaven considering y'all're at that place for a fight or y'all're going in that location to cheer- lead," Sesno said. "If you're an opinionator, and you're there with that mission, this is what you lot alive for."
