• Enquiring Minds Have To Go in Red, White & Blog on 02/08/2019
  

  Jeff Bezos' whistleblowing indictment about how American Media Inc. has been "weaponizing its journalistic privileges" sheds new light on what has been an increasingly creepy and destructive media enterprise. And, if his allegations hold up, a criminal one.

• Knowing Isn't Free by Joe Mandese (RTBlog on 02/04/2019)
  

  @Douglas Ferguson: Saying news is a commodity is like saying knowledge is a commodity. All knowledge is not equal.The Washington Post -- and the news organizations it celebrates in its ad -- distinguish themselves with exceptional journalism that uncovers or otherwise advances what we know.If they went away tomorrow, you'd still have knowledge, but I believe you'd have less of the kind that keeps us free.

• How -- And Why -- A 'Walled Garden' Will Help OpenX Optimize The 'Open Web' by Joe Mandese (RTBlog on 01/28/2019)
  

  @Doc Searls: Agree with your comments, but would point out MediaPost's audience is not everybody, but business people who are hopefully using ethical and legal privacy-compliant means of targeting people with ads, whether it is on the open web, or anywhere else.

  It makes me wish we had a President we could trust.

  @John Grono: Good catch. We've updated the graphic. Sorry about that.

• Hitting The Wall by Joe Mandese (Red, White & Blog on 01/02/2019)
  

  @John Grono: I'd contribute metaphorical tax dollars toward it.

• 2018 Marketing Word(s) Of The Year: 'Brand Purpose' by Joe Mandese (Marketing Daily on 12/06/2018)
  

  Thanks for the addendum, Bill.

• America Has A Bad Case Of Potus Mouth by Joe Mandese (Red, White & Blog on 11/21/2018)
  

  @Douglas Ferguson: false equivalency and bad case of whataboutism. There's a big difference between a POTUS intentionally using a loudspeaker like Twitter to use profanity, sexist and racist comments, and one who unintentionally let's some real language fly. Beto is a better example, but contextually he was using it as a statement of respect, vs. the current bull-schitter-in-chief, who uses it to disrespect, and dishonor the office and the people who elected him.

• Nielsen Taps Madison Ave. Vet David Kenny As CEO, Continues Strategic Review by Joe Mandese (MediaDailyNews on 11/20/2018)

  I am Jim Acosta!

• Suppose They Gave A Press Briefing And Nobody Came? by Joe Mandese (Red, White & Blog on 11/14/2018)
  

  @David Shank: Agree with "presence," but it can come in many forms. And the one in which our most accomplished, professional and (I believe) principled journalists are turned into props for public display, disinformation and, worst of all, gaslighting, is what I'm recommending against.I think your one, authoritative representative/pool idea is a good solution. They should try it and see how it works.I still think there are ways of "covering" the briefings without serving as a prop -- and a tacit endorsement -- of what's going on.The briefings air and stream live for anyone who wants to cover them -- https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/ -- so if the White House lobs any policy bombs -- they can still cover them and they can still ask follow ups for clarification, amplification, etc. without the theatrics of the TV "show."I'm just recommending the press seize control the part of the narrative where they are turned into adversarial characters in a scripted reality TV show.It would have been cool to see Helen Thomas star in that.
