One of TV News’ Most Respected Consultants Says Format Is Breaking, Needs to Change Quickly TV News Format is Breaking, Needs to Change Quickly, Says Magid Consultant

What's "in" and what's "out" in the TV news biz?
The folks who brought you Action News in the 70s now think news organizations need to build communities of like-minded folk, not trust.
Glad I'm in #GCComms where we strive to earn and keep the trust of those we serve.

Mis- and disinformation are tools to undermine national sovereignty. It is pretty clear that the economic war Canadians are enduring is moving to another sphere - our democratic institutions.

In Ontario after the 2014 election there was a brief attempt by the Tories to argue that Wynne's majority was narrow enough that committee control should not be simply assumed. IIRC this controversy was resolved by the expedient of "the Liberals allowed the NDP to chair two more committees."

They laughed at us because Americans were stupid enough to "vote" him back into office. Now they look at us with disgust and distrust.

The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture.

The Blue Jays have a temporary starting pitcher who is super MAGA, and I could never be an announcer because every time he ended an inning I'd be like, "And another excellent outing from the guy who supports a pedophile who wants to take over his team's country!" and then be promptly fired

At the Moulin Rouge, the Dance is an oil-on-canvas painted by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It was painted in 1890, and is the second of a number of graphic paintings by Toulouse-Lautrec depicting the Moulin Rouge cabaret built in Paris in 1889. It portrays two dancers dancing the can-can in the middle of the crowded dance hall.

The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:
