It’s Time For This Dead Horse To Demand A New Jockey
I’ve taken more than a few jabs at the actions, decisions and attitude taken by Warner Brothers Discovery’s czar David Zaslav since he ascended to this throne two Aprils ago. While to Hollywood he was an outsider, he did help build an empire of profitable, distinct and popular linear networks in the relatively less glitzy
Still More Links To Past Success Are Going Away
The news that dropped yesterday afternoon on several media and even a couple of general business sites was neither surprising nor unexpected. But it still was a sobering reminder of the passage of time and more than a little personally upsetting when I read what the LOS ANGELES TIMES’ Stephen Battaglio reported: The media business

Just when you think the Republican candidate for President can’t sink any lower on the depths of objective human decency, along comes a performance like the one he offered up yesterday that reminds you that he most certainly can. As no less than FOUR Reuters journalists–Bianca Flowers, Trevor Hunnicutt, Nathan Layne and Nandita Bose gang-reported:

It was a newsworthy story, to be sure, but it didn’t necessarily need a well-known author to tell the world about it. In fact, it took two somewhat obscure PEOPLE staffers, Stephanie Wenger and JP Mangalindan, to author this yesterday: Norah O’Donnell is stepping down as anchor and managing editor of CBS Evening News following the 2024 presidential
