This Just In!

This Just In! is an American animated television series that follows the misadventures and exploits of reporter Brian Newport. It was shown on Spike TV in 2004. The show was co-created by comedian Steve Marmel and former Nickelodeon executive Kevin Kay, and written by Marmel and Jeff Rothpan.

The title referred to the producers' intentions to comment on the latest news and politics in an animated series that was created swiftly with computer animation.

Background

Regarding the conservative politics of the series' main character, creator Steve Marmel stated, "Most of the time you see a conservative on a TV show, he's played as a zealot or a boob. I wanted to do a show where the conservative wasn't the idiot." Marmel also stated about the show's protagonist, "Brian has passionate opinions about things. He's all in, but he's smart. He believes for what he believes in and fights for it every episode."The series satirized both left-wing and right-wing targets. Kevin Kay described the show as having "a conservative bent on politics", though Marmel described his own political views as "raging moderate".

Just In

Just In with Laura Ingraham was a short-lived news program broadcast on the Fox News Channel weekdays at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The show was hosted by conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham. The show, said to be a limited trial run, lasted only three weeks on the air before being canceled; it was replaced by the same show that preceded it: America's Election Headquarters.

The show received significant public coverage shortly after its cancellation when a tape of off-air excerpts featuring Ingraham was leaked to the internet. In the nine-minute video Ingraham questions Fox News' style, and describes the show as a "train wreck."
