Join the new world

Even before the end of the live taping of last week’s NEW Pony Express Show Starring Kramer , we were already on the phone to Krusty the Clown.
Blue Owl Capital’s private jet whisked Krusty along with a few friends to Joint Base Andrews. Janitor George and Miss Bette Midler met everyone at the airport, and brought them all to the White House dining room for a little nosh with the President.

And now, on with the show..!

Before we get to the News, let’s look in on Media, still on life support at Bethesda Naval Hospital.



Original Air Date: Friday February 17, 2023 (Day 5568 )
Location: OwlCorp Media Studios, The White House

On Tonight's New Pony Express Show:
:1: Bethesda Naval Hospital via Green Screen
:2: Last Week’s News Now

Editor’s Note: While most Government publications are a reflection of that government’s relationship with the citizens, the Pony Express is a reflection of the citizens’ relationship with each other as a community.



Dr Nick and Dr Hibbert Examine the Patient



: HELLO, EVERYBODY! Say, Dr. Hibbert, I heard that Media is brain dead!
: Why, of course, Dr. Nick, but no more so than our audience! Heh-heh-heh!
Director Jude Connors: Guys, Corporate is in the booth.

: But, if Media is brain dead, how long can it last?
: Remember the network we work for, and their audience… They’ve all been brain dead for years.
: So as long as the catering budget holds out…
: That’s right, Dr Nick, they’ll keep broadcasting crap as long as the pastrami is good.

Director Jude Connors: Control, let’s have that commercial..
Control Booth: um.. great pastrami– catering is especially good this week.. *nom nom*
Connors: commercial now, please..
Booth: awesome pickles.. *click*




And we’re back, with the Squishies… I mean, with the News.

Janitor George: Isn’t Apu dead?
Custer: Yeah, so is Dr Nick.
Connors: You put dead people on the show??
Booth: glass houses, Jude. We’re live in three… two…



: Hi, I’m Troy McClure– you’ll remember me from such hygiene class classics as “How’s Your Nose Hair” and “Butt Paste is Our Friend.“ With me today is inveterate veteran newsman Kent Brockman.
: Thank you, Troy. Now from Springfield to Washington and everywhere in between, here’s Old Man Custer with last week’s news.



Well, there has been some media this week. As Dr RJ Reynolds said, and Dr Nick and Dr Hibbert concur, it is encouraging, but the worldwide media drought continues to hit the eUS Media especially hard.



Last Friday the US Government News paper published a Special Edition announcing the impending release of the new New Citizens Message.
Krusty had been in a writers meeting when the teletype rattled to life. He grabbed the raw copy and ran to the green screen studio hollering “so get me a goddam camera, already!” Krusty ad libbed a promo while Custer did a quick writeup, and blam! we published hot news.. It felt good.

The NEW Pony Express Show has taken Hollywood by storm with its new format, veteran writers, eccentric characters and developing episodic storyline.
The pilot episode, starring Kramer, was a ratings hit (topping the US rankings with 31 votes), we got signed to produce six episodes with an outta sight budget, and we’ve made the covers of TV Guide and Variety as well as the AARP magazine.

Here, let’s have a look at these two articles, eh..

Trekker Tlumac publishes Wanderer’s Journal here in eRep, in addition to publishing children’s books in the real world. This week Trekker shared a generous slice of his real life experience of late in I’m just a lizard… (Trekk). I like meeting people and hearing about their real life, that’s one of the things that makes and holds a community.

The Socialist Freedom Party published a fun and nostalgic recruitment article…
Booth: *gasp*
Connors: keep rolling.

…in their official Party newspaper, ONWARD...
Booth: is he insane?? he’s going to get us canceled!
Connors: keep rolling tape, Bob.

Song of the SFP - Syndicalist and Free! is festooned with stoner hippie imagery and includes a whole song along with a blast of Socialist propaganda. This is quality recruitment media.

Booth: oh my god, we’re all unemployed..
Connors: the Karens are lighting up the phones.. Keep rolling…
George: Shush! Corporate approved it, just keep-a goin’.

Everyone take a breath, okay.. bree-athe.. Let's finish the bit..

Voice of Asteria published… no, that was the week before.

Did the WHPR publish? Did the President publish? Ahh, no.

Wednesday was Party President election day… nope, nothing yet, but I do fully expect to see some post-election Party media, so let’s watch for that.

Huh.. I guess that’s last week’s top media, and a wrap for this week.
Well, ya can only work with what ya got, maybe fluff it out a bit like we’re doing with the new format, but it’s still a news review newsletter with no news to review and still a got newsletter to put out.
Back to Troy and Kent at Bethesda Naval Hospital..

: I guess at this point any news is good news. This has been Troy McClure..
: ..And Kent Brockman, for The NEW Pony Express Show. Back to you, Krusty.
: think there’s any lox left, Kent? I hear it’s to die for..
: we’d better hurry, Troy, before that bottomless pit in the control booth eats everything..
Connors: hot mic, fellas..
Booth: nom nom nom *click*








: Alright, are we done yet? Lemme know when to send flowers.
Custer, you owe me big time..

Connors: annn-nnd.. Cut. *sigh* Roll credits. George, do you have Henson‘s number..?
George: I’m golfing with Kermit and Fozzy tomorrow. We’ll talk.
Custer: WELL, GOODNIGHT EVERYONE! DRIVE SAFE!
