Grin And Bear It. If And While You Still Can.
As I so often do in these musings, I confess that I have more than a few guilty pleasures when it comes to everything from media to cuisine. In the immortal words of the esteemed Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy, “I’m a man, I’m 40”. Well, way more than that these days. And I’ll
Every Dog Has Its Day
I suppose I owe Kristi Noem a little bit of gratitude, if nothing else for her timing. Before she yet again became a trending topic yesterday afternoon all I could think about was the fact that today marks six years exactly to the day that I was sent home from Sony for the final time
Taking A Byte Out Of Your Competition?
I’m having yet another frustrating and exhausting week so far, and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna improve any time soon. So I definitely wasn’t paying attention to what in the world of fast food lovers was a seminal moment earlier this week when McDonald’s technically introduced what had supposedly been a huge European hit,
Not Dead Yet
Time once again for moi to fit in a little crow with my increasingly selective diet. In hindsight, we’ve probably been a little harsh on the Artists Formerly Known As NBC Cable, a.k.a. Versant. In the first days of their technical self-existence we were admittedly more than a tad bearish on how they were faring.
Today, Encino! Tomorrow, Who Knows?
If you’re hell bent on having me bite your head off on social media, feel free to post yet another mindless rant about our current adminstration and some action or inaction that you think merits your one and one-half cents.

On the ancient-skewing CBS, with the compromised 60 MINUTES as a lead-in, was the latest entry into the YELLOWSTONE-verse–and the first that actually was premiering on what used to be called a
Epic Fury?! Only In My Browser
Another weekend, another–ahem–war. We can barely go six months without one these days, can we? Forgive me if I’m not quite as excited or non-plussed as perhaps you are about what went down early Saturday morning in beautiful downtown Tehran. I assume unless you’ve been living under a rock or perhaps hiking in South America
More News Doesn’t Always Mean More Newscasters
It was anything but a bellweather week for TV journalists, and I’m not merely referencing the shell-shocked and panicked employees at CBS NEWS and CNN. While their worlds may be crashing down in their minds, as THE GUARDIAN’s Jeremy Barr conveyed yesterday, at least for the moment they’re still employed. That’s more than can be
Rock Crushes Scissors!!!
No, it wasn’t an earthquake that rippled through Hollywood, Wall Street and just about everywhere where the worlds of media and business intersect yesterday. More like an avalanche. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL’s Joe Flint was among the first that reported what went down: Paramount Skydance emerged victorious in the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery
