Harry Shearer was the first artist signed to My Damn Channel when we launched four years ago in 2007.
Harry first encountered satellite news feeds when he worked at SNL. He's fascinated with the contents of videos that you normally never get to see and we call these clips: Found Objects.
We just uploaded a new Found Object on My Damn Channel, Diane Sawyer: "I Have Nothing."
Here's the link.
Harry writes, "Diane Sawyer is on the scene after a tornado has ripped through Joplin, anchoring a live broadcast from the city. But it's not easy for her."
He adds, "This is a portrait of a fly-in anchor covering a disaster. Diane may be Diane, but this is pretty much what you get when you send high-priced anchor talent into a place where everything has fallen apart and nothing works. The quote, 'I have nothing,' of course, should more appropriately be coming from a tornado victim.'"
"I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind, but now, I see."

Rob Barnett's My Damn Channel gives TV creators something they've always wanted: ownership.

Just back from a 3-city, 3-day work trip. I missed blogging for the first time while we hit our single biggest traffic day ever at My Damn Channel. Harry Shearer's "Found Objects" are exclusive looks at footage you're not supposed to see. The response to yesterday's Katie Couric clip brought one million uniques to our site in less than 24 hours. It's still climbing. Everyone loves Katie. I think they'll love Bill O'Riley & Ann Coulter less when Harry's next "Found Objects" hits our site. Here's Katie if you want to watch & share the luv: http://www.mydamnchannel.com/channel.aspx?episode=367
