Idle Chatter: 'Today' vs. 'GMA,' Anderson vs. Greta

-NBC's Today is once again beating ABC's Good Morning America in the ratings, and Diane Sawyer is said to be angry enough at her network to consider leaving the show. [NYT]

-Dow Jones CEO Les Hinton, installed by Rupert Murdoch after News Corp.'s takeover, says he was surprised by "the level of purported indignation or hostility to our ownership." [Ad Age]

-The simmering hatred between Anderson Cooper and Greta Van Susteren has erupted in a war of words, and that can mean only one thing: They will soon fall in love. [Gawker]

-China is removing tens of thousands of billboards from Beijing to prevent would-be guerilla marketers from interfering with Olympic sponsors' messages. [Ad Age]

-Ashley Alexandra Dupré, Eliot Spitzer's erstwhile special friend, has dropped her lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild auteur Joe Francis, probably because she just realized what a class act he is. [AP]
