Survive ‘Till ’25? Who’s Gonna Survive IN ’25?!?!
I wish I could somehow shake off the degree of frustration and hopelessness that I’ve been feeling since the events of Tuesday night. But my reasons may just be a tad different than the ones that I literally can’t get out of the way of seeing over and over again elsewhere. I continue to see
Democracy Didn’t Yet Die In Darkness. But Polling?
Look, suffice it to say, I’m hardly thrilled by the events of Tuesday. But unlike so many whose minds I truly can’t begin to grasp, I’m not unfriending anyone who might have actually chosen to vote for That Guy. I’m far more judgemental of his character and intellect, largely based on actual testimony of people
Mourning In America?
America has spoken. And they’ve made their choices in a free and fair democratic election, with no bombs actually going off.

The media/business nexus is still buzzing from the musings expressed this week by a fairly prominent leader on what was expected to be a victory lap. BLOOMBERG’s Kelcee Griffis was among the many who offered some basic details in stories dropped yesterday: Comcast Corp. said it’s considering spinning off its cable networks into a new
Ironically, There’s A Family Feud Between Wheel and Jeopardy’s “Parents”
There may not be much left of the syndication business that I’ve known for decades, but what does remain of it sure can get interesting at times. The latest example of that was what the likes of VARIETY’s Gene Maddaus attempted to even-handedly report on yesterday: Sony filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing CBS of self-dealing
What Media Companies Could Learn From Today’s Dodgers
So the Los Angeles Dodgers are champions of baseball once again, and this time without the asterisk of a COVID season as was the case four years ago. There will actually be a parade through downtown Los Angeles tomorrow and given what I know of the many rabid fans who are bleeding blue all over
