  You know the drill: Give to a campaign and suddenly your inbox is full of solicitations featuring hysterical headlines and way too many exclamation points.

• Ad Bubble Tsunami On its Way? in MediaDailyNews on 10/08/2020
  

  A new book posits that digital advertising is a bubble that could burst as soon as marketers figure out their ROI is terrible.

• Where Is Trump Conversion Therapy When We Need It? in MediaDailyNews on 09/24/2020
  

  I am so appalled when I read about (or actually meet) someone who plans to vote for Trump, that I listen very carefully to their reasoning.

• Can The Pandemic Make You Crazy? in MediaDailyNews on 09/17/2020
  

  You may think you'e fine, until you see an article quoting shrinks essentially saying, "Doesn't matter, you are in deeper than you know -- and it will last a long time."

• Warning: Premium Content Ahead in MediaDailyNews on 08/13/2020
  

  I suspect that when media reps pitch their content as premium, buyers just roll their eyes and cough "bullshit" into their fists.

• A Hot Mess, Inside A Dumpster Fire, Inside A Train Wreck by George Simpson (MediaDailyNews on 10/01/2020)
  

  Maria: a lucid and well reasoned response. But how can you respect a man who has lied to you 20,000 times (so far). Character  has to count or we are all going to hell in a hand basket. Is the nation/the world better off than 4 years ago?    

• TV Now: A Midsummer Day's Rant by Adam Buckman (TVBlog on 08/10/2020)
  

  Adam: I could not agree more on entertainment programming, but have to disagree on the news (note: I never watch cable news unless it is a big breaking story). I tend to stay with NBC (mostly out of habit and I like Lester). I think they do way too much repackaging without adding real value to follow-on stories, but on the main, I think their news is accurate (as any news can be) and free of opinion and misinformation.

  they all died on South Beach. 

• Are We Killing Politeness? by Gord Hotchkiss (Media Insider on 07/07/2020)
  

  Douglas Haase, note the word "commentary" near the headline. That indicates opinion. The media is not stacked against the man; the man does and says stupid stuff and the media simply reports it. His "press" would be far better if he did not lie, cheat and steal at every opportunity.

• If You're Not Part Of The Solution... by George Simpson (MediaDailyNews on 06/04/2020)
  

  Ken: your position on this is pretty clear. Now imagine George Floyd was your son or father.  Stats still rule?

• If You're Not Part Of The Solution... by George Simpson (MediaDailyNews on 06/04/2020)
  

  you wrote:WE CLEARLY HAVE A POLICE PROBLEM....But not necessarily a racial one...I rest my case.

• If You're Not Part Of The Solution... by George Simpson (MediaDailyNews on 06/04/2020)
  

  So by your reasoning, since Floyd had a criminal record and stats say police don't kill blacks at a higher rate than other races....it was ok to murder him?  You might want to spent some time reading up on systemic, historical economic racism to understand the crime rate stats a little better.

• We Need A New Facebook For The Rest of Us by George Simpson (MediaDailyNews on 05/28/2020)
  

  See, that was fast, FB II is up already!!!

• Don't Blame Me, Blame That Fellow Behind The Tree by George Simpson (MediaDailyNews on 05/07/2020)
  

  With Trump in charge of the meat plants now, those 4 chunks may volunteer to be put in a 450 degree oven (for 15 mins)

• What If They Never Open The Cineplex Again? by George Simpson (MediaDailyNews on 04/30/2020)
  

  Robert, good point about the youth market, but I suspect they too will see the value of POVD. Check your facts on sport attendance, nearly every one is losing gate, big time.
