Only Matches In This Building, Eh?
Let’s not fool ourselves. This wasn’t the biggest story in media yesterday by a long shot. But I do know who many of my readers are and to them it was a big deal. And to me, it threw me enough of a curveball to remind me of how much things have changed, so anything
Even A Blind Squirrel Finds A Nut Once In A While
Contrary to the knee-jerk reactions of an unfortunately growing constituency of what I would have liked to think were friends of mine who immediately paint me as some sort of right-wing lunatic gone mad, I really don’t like the current leader of what at least for now is the free world. For perhaps the 100th
What’s The Missing Link On LinkedIn? Ironically, Connection.
His name is Maurizo Grazzi, and I suppose I owe him a sincere apology. My bad, good sir. It’s the end of a month, and as regular readers of these musings pro’ly know by now, I tend to get a bit surlier than usual ’round these times. Something about when one’s net worth drops to
In More Ways Than Ever, Cleveland Rocks!!!
It’s a good day to be a fan of Cleveland sports teams, and it’s not simply because their conference champion basketball team, the Cavaliers, absolutely destroyed the Miami Heat in South Florida by the almost embarassing score of 124-87, giving them a virtually insurmountable 3-0 lead in their first round best-of-seven NBA playoff series. That
Take It From Me, Not Every Dinner Needs A Comedian
I do have some empathy for Eugene Daniels, as on a somewhat smaller scale I’ve been in his shoes. Daniels is the current president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, a side hustle with an industry trade organization that compliments his current role with MSNBC and his legacy with POLITICO. Without question, their most public-facing
CBS= Constantly Buying Spin-Offs?
Amidst all of the other distractions surrounding CBS these days, several of which we’re still being castigated for daring to muse about, there still remains the more mundane chore of actually setting a strategic course for what is still the most watched single media destination (sorry, You Tube, you’re a platform). And if one happens
For A Desperate Disney+ Seeking Traction And Relevance, Andor Has No Choice But To Provide Both.
I’m usually not someone who draws much from one-person focus groups that happen to be occurring inside my home. I’ve personally encountered far too many executives that have used those situations as what they perceived was actual research and made million-dollar decisions based primarily on them. My own career opportunities have been directly impacted by
Has Time Run Out On CBS Needing 60 MINUTES?
The news from CBS NEWS that came down yesterday produced many tears in that iconic Eye. DEADLINE’s Ted Johnson was among the many that broke the story: Bill Owens, the executive producer of 60 Minutes, said Tuesday that he is resigning from the venerable CBS newsmagazine, telling staffers he had lost his ability to make independent
Pope. Rhymes With Hope.
I’m hardly the most distraught person on Earth today in the wake of yesterday’s death of Pope Francis. I never saw the man in person; in fact, I’ve never seen any leader of the Church in person to date. When John Paul II embarked on his groundbreaking U.S. tour shortly after he ascended to what
