When the media becomes the news, everyone is entertained. Media scandals are the best scandals of all, for their enjoyable mix of forced professionalism and palpable discomfort. Come; let us look back at the year's ten best.

A broken chairlift at Maine's Sugarloaf Mountain injured at least three skiers and hundreds were being evacuated off of the chairlift after being stuck in the freezing cold. Good thing a CNN employee is on the lift to report back!

Tonight, Dr. Sanjay Gupta hosted Anderson Cooper 360 in Cooper's stead. After Cooper sees the way Gupta began things, however, he may not ask him back. Inside, watch Gupta accidentally call Cooper a pedophile during a segue gone horribly awry.

Former CNN stud Thomas Roberts officially has a job at MSNBC. Congrats! To celebrate, watch this completely gratuitous and rather shirtless report he did about measuring body fat percentage. Yes, he's that gay, and we love him for it.

Last night, Larry King hosted his final episode of Larry King Live (highlights here). Today, the saga leading up to his retirement—and other recent CNN shakeups—was sarcastically chronicled by Taiwanese animators NMA. Your catch-up video is inside.

A new study shows that Fox News viewers are more likely to believe demonstrably false things than viewers of other networks. Which is to be expected. But it also shows that the more you watch, the more misinformed you get.

The Republican presidential debate schedule just got infinitely better, as the Tea Party Express will co-host a "first-of-its-kind" Tea Party debate with CNN, in September. Hot damn! We're buying a 2011 calendar, just for the pleasure of circling this date.

Tonight, Larry King hosted Larry King Live for the last time (video highlights here). And on the Late Show, David Letterman gave King a tribute of his own, with some biting jokes and a hilarious mistakes montage! Watch inside.

Tonight, Larry King hosted the final ever episode of Larry King Live with the help of Bill Maher, Ryan Seacrest, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Regis Philbin, Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams, Katie Couric, Barbara Walters, Bill Clinton, and more! The best moments, inside.

As you may (should) know, tonight marks the final episode of Larry King Live after more than 25 years on CNN. To prepare yourself for this momentous occasion, why not watch this handy video recap! And try not to cry.

As tonight marks the last broadcast of CNN's long-running Larry King Live, we thought once again share with you our moving compilation of some of crazy ancient LK's greatest moments. Watch and remember and then say goodbye tonight. Sigh.

56-year-old Clay Duke took his own life today during a shootout with authorities at a Florida school board meeting, mere seconds after he fired at—and missed, thankfully—several local officials. The dramatic showdown was caught on tape—watch it inside.

In your icy Tuesday media column: Kathy and A.C. are back for New Year's eve, Larry King's nearly done at CNN, John Roberts leaves morning TV, and HuffPo's profitability confirmed.

Today is the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's assassination. Today is also the day that Celine Dion appeared on Larry King Live, and—during a discussion about Lennon—decided to belt out a verse of "Imagine." How spontaneous! Watch inside.

Utterly unwatched CNN newsgimmick show Parker Spitzer is getting some much-needed publicity today, in the form of a rumored threat by cohost Kathleen Parker to leave the show. Oh no, they wouldn't want to lose Kathleen Parker, ha ha.

"I think she's very happy in Alaska, and I hope she stays there." Former First Lady, First Mother, and notorious ice queen Barbara Bush gave her opinion about the potential rogue candidate to Larry King.

As part of his press tour for his groundbreaking show Louie earlier this year, Louis C.K. thought it would be a good idea to talk to Joy Behar on CNN, just hours after he got his vasectomy. Absurd!

Tonight, Larry King sat on the other end of the table when he was interviewed on The Joy Behar Show. Predictably, things were immediately hilarious when King jokingly screamed at Behar about how he "made" her. Watch their exchange inside.

Last night, CNN's Anderson Cooper did a story about bonobo apes that can communicate. They ordered him to put on a bunny suit and, like a good reporter, he did. This treads the fine line between ridiculous and adorable.

Today's episode of The View featured an interview with Larry King, the highlight of which involved talk of his CNN successor, Piers Morgan. King tried his best to be nice when speaking about Morgan, but still sounded passive-aggressive. Watch inside.
