FOS linked off of Drudge
“Snubbed DAILY SHOW Fan On Rampage” is the line on the DrudgeReport.com that links to an NBCNewYork.com article that details the travails of Sharilyn Johnson, a Canadian journo and FOS that got shut out of the dual Election Night taping of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
Johnson made reservations seven months in advance, took some vacation days, volunteered for Obama and flew to NYC from Toronto to sit in the audience for the special event only to watch as VIP’s were given top priority and mere fans were shut out. Repeated attempts to get some sort of justice or an apology were rebuffed.
She did what any journalist would do– she tapped out an essay on just how burned she felt and put it up on her blog. The tale of woe got picked up by the folks at Huffington Post.
Then, NBC in New York ran something on it today.
The mocking tone of the NBC/Around Town item is gentle compared to the comments on Gawker, which ran an item on her HuffPo piece. Johnson’s retelling attracted many sympathetic comments and just as many that were brutal, ugly and unnecessarily harsh and personal.

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”

I read her tale of woe, and I’m curius, as you should be, why she had to “borrow’ the phone of one of her TCR writer friends to call another writer friend at TDS – one would think she’d have the numbers of her friends on her cellphone. ]I too have friends inside both shows – and I call bullshit on her tale of woe.
We think you might be missing the overall point of Ms. Johnson’s original blog posting– She’s sorely disappointed in the treatment she received at the hands of the producers of her two favorite television shows.She subsequently had to put up with rather harsh comments (like people “calling bullshit” on her story– and much worse).And you may also be missing the point of our posting– that we know Ms. Johnson, that we believe her to be credible and her story to be unexceptionable and that many of the comments (yours being a typical example) fail utterly to focus on the original story, instead choosing to focus on her motives or her sanity.
