Yacco And Wacko Together Could Change Media Forever. Those Are The Facts.
Very briefly early in my career, my eye was caught was a bright, attractive young intern (if memory serves me right) at the last job I had in New York , a smart, savvy research analyst with an odd last name. She was introduced to me as Linda Yaccarino, which my warped young mind immediately
They Didn’t Start The Fire
From the way so many people in my social media feed, as well as so many others’, reacted to the folly that CNN telecast Wednesday night in the 8 PM hour, you’d think CEO Chris Licht was as guilty of treasonous behavior as the obese orange “Cyrus” he gave a forum to. He also delivered
It’s Good To Be The King
