Roll Call - June 5, 2009
Stop the Music. The cable news wars hit a new note on Wednesday night - and it wasn't particularly melodious.
A team of reporters from CNN and another from Fox News battled for karaoke supremacy at the Childhelp's annual "Capitol CAREaoke" event, put on by the Greater Washington Area Advisory Board, which raises money for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect.
Held this year at the Newseum - appropriate digs considering all the journalists in attendance - the event showcased the vocal talents (or lack thereof) of a number of Washington VIPs, from Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) - who joined a group onstage and sang Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" - to D.C. Councilman Jack Evans (D), to Peter Cherukuri.
But it was the singing showdown between CNN and Fox News that struck a chord with the audience. CNN went first, a team that included correspondents Dana Bash, Brianna Keilar and Jessica Yellin, who belted out a decent rendition of Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much."
Next up was Fox News, made up of Major Garrett, Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly, Molly Henneberg and James Rosen. They picked a karaoke favorite, Barry Manilow's "Copacabana," which had the crowd singing along, and appeared to have the unofficial contest win.
