Lola Ogunnaike, who covers television and other entertainment topics for the New York Times, filled in as paid "special guest co-host" on ABC's "The View" last Monday. Scott Collins points out that two of her three most recent articles concerned ABC, and on Thursday — three days after her "View" appearance — she wrote a favorable piece about ABC's "Ugly Betty." Ogunnaike didn't return Collins' phone call and e-mail requesting comment.
