As if Finland had any. Really, it’s easy to see that Phil’s blog is really beginning to rattle the nerves of Finnish MSM elites. Their envy is palpable.

I got that feeling, when that woman, Monica Lewinsky was visiting here to promote her book and YLE’s Jouko Salokorpi was asking her about the alignment of the U.S. foreign politics etc. in the interview. On the other hand, it could be a example of the subtle finnish ‘vittuilu’-culture, where some big time potentate of his field may end up rating the hairiness of his ass in scale 1-10.

And who spoke just about serious journalists:) Hesari and Ilta-Sanomat surely had their folks on the ground.

Listening to the MP3 of the press conference was quite cringing in places. Reminds me of a White House press conference with the President and all that false sincereity and theatre. Been there, got the tshirt and a nearly anal grilling from the SS.

Got it. Perfect that Phil has none, then. Ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose. Linssilude rules OK. Hope he gets a pass when Chesty Morgan comes to visit.

Someone should have asked O’Brien what right he had to intervene in domestic Politic issues during an election… as I think the U.S. gets very sensitive when foreigners involve themselves at times.

He is a comedian, get over it. And while you are at it, please remove the stick that is wedged deep between your buttocks.

Oh come on, don’t take it so seriously! This kind of a story is ideal for bloggers as it’s very interesting to fans, but only a curiosity for serious media outlets. If Subtv wouldn’t have let bloggers etc. to the conference, we would have seen those few clips on the news instead of all this material were getting thanks to Phil and the rest. In my opinion they deserve a tip of the hat!

Besides, wouldn’t it be completely rediculous, if some serious journalist would have started to blame Conan for the election results in a conference like that, you know, with Eternal Erection playing in the background and Conan telling the audience, how he would like to become the Sauna Inspector of Finland? It would be pretty safe to say that any so-called serious journalist would have instantly lost his or her credibility in that case…

Sorry but coming over like a star struck fan in a press conference might look good to the US “Fox News” type of audience, but it doesn’t make for good objective media.

The sad part is that that’s the official reason why she was made a “special correspondent” or something…

Um, maybe because that’s the actual newsworthyness of some clown from the American entertainment industry.

Monica Welling was a newsanchor at FST for years, but she was removed a couple of years ago because she was “too old”. She seems to be mostly doing random stuff, like interviews, nowadays.

If it wasn’t for the “non press”, Conan wouldn’t have been asked any interesting questions. There were awkward silent moments during the press conference where Conan even said, “it’s these awkward moments that I like best”.

Honestly, the Finnish press was kinda pathetic, my girlfriend thought the same thing too. All they needed was there 5 second sound clip and that’s it. My girlfriend and I each had only one question prepared because we “knew” the real Finnish press would have had tons of questions. But they asked nothing, so towards the end the non-press began asking some kinda stupid questions, no one had prepared for that.
