Media Monday (Delayed): CNN loves goats!

October 13, 2009

Since yesterday was a holiday, I missed out on a media monday post. Thankfully, the Daily Show more than makes up for it. Jon Stewart rightfully questions CNN’s inability to ask the probing questions and wonders why a 24-hour news channel never seems to have enough time. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – [...]

Jeff Goldblum Will Be Missed

July 1, 2009

With all the celebrities dropping like flies, rumors of other celebrities kicking the bucket are running rampant. CNN even had an article on it today: After a string of real celebrity deaths last week, the Internet and online social networks killed a few more stars.

Hey Joe Buck! What did you expect??

June 16, 2009

One of the tenants of negative thinking is thinking about possible outcomes. Not dwelling on horrible or bad outcomes, but understanding possibilities so you can avoid bad situations. And that is why I have no sympathy for Joe Buck when his guest Artie Lange acted like a foul-mouthed abusive idiot. That’s Artie Lange!! You know [...]

Media Monday: News reports that news reports scare people!

May 4, 2009

Unless this really is the end of days and the H1N1 flu is here to wipe us out, this will be the last I speak of it. Unless I myself catch it. I was trapped in an elevator with a coughing Mexican lady yesterday. No lie. The thing about the media is they will cannibalize [...]

Media Monday: They’ll be no swine, before it’s time.

April 27, 2009

The media is all lathered up like a rabid dog over the latest possible pandemic, Swine Flu. While being aware of a potential problem is a worth an alert, the media has to show us how horrible it could be. They’ve been trying to scare us for years about the oncoming pandemic that has yet [...]

Media Monday: CNN’s iReporters are iDiots

February 9, 2009

Sometimes the internet can be a power for good in the world. Other times, I’m sure it will be the end of it.  CNN has the iReport, which allows anyone with a camera, to upload to their site. Great for major events happening, you can get different angles and reports. Not so good when the [...]

Media Monday *Special Friday Edition* Miracle on the Hudson: Why I HATE the Media

January 16, 2009

This couldn’t wait until Monday: Good work “Sully’ Sullenberger, for a heck of a landing. Keeping the plane intact and getting everyone out was amazing. There are far more articulate people blogging and posting about the mind-boggling non-fatal crash into the Hudson. But I did want to show you a video of a survivor immediately [...]
