Whether It’s Media Or Politics, It Seems To Be All About Loyalty
When yesterday’s news cycle was disrupted by the unlikely headline that of all the folks in the United States with a bar degree somehow Florida congressman Matt Goetz emerged as the choice of the incoming president for Attorney General, it sent shock waves and even some disgust through pundits and even some elected officials. THE
Could Some Researcher Please Do An Intervention?
Forgive me if I might come off as a tad unfeeling, but to the likes of those who cover media for a living that seem to be overly sympatico with those still crying in their lattes, enough’s enough. In particular, I’m showing concern for THE WRAP’s Sharon Waxman, who dedicated her most recent WAXWORD essay
Can NBC Go Back To The Future With A Tried And True Playbook?
It’s somewhat apropos that on the 69th “anniversary” of the day that Marty McFly and Doc Brown found their way BACK TO THE FUTURE, NBC has once again dipped into the “mockumentary” world that sustained them back in the oughts to finally unveil ST. DENIS MEDICAL. After being held up by strike-related delays and strategic
The Challenge Of Getting Butts Back Into Theatres May Not Quite Be G-Licked
Unless you’ve been hibernating and/or doom-scrolling–both distinct possibilities in my circle–you’re likely aware that we’re now mere days away from the official kickoff to the holiday movie season.

The Last Roundup For Yellowstone? And Basic Cable Itself?
For a great deal of people, primarily in the flyover states, their long national nightmare is finally over, and no, it has nothing to do with political choices. After a hiatus of nearly 22 1/2 months, a new episode of YELLOWSTONE will air tonight and if you happen to be a cord-cutter or a cord-never,
What Odds Would FanDuel Give Now On Its Own Survival?

But the events of yesterday
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. And if my social media feeds are any indication, as a country we’ve apparently committed hari-kari. Well, as someone who has often been put in the uncomfortable position of conveying results of far less
