• Alex Weprin Joins 'MediaPost' As Editor, 'Digital News Daily' by The Editor (Digital News Daily on 10/13/2017)

• Ad Tech's Dirtiest Secret Acronym: WMD by Joe Mandese (RTBlog on 10/09/2017)
  

  Deliberately, I think, Trump has planned a daily "episode." I'm not talking metaphorically. Like the Young & Restless, there are through-lines and subplots, major and minor characters, scandal, sycophants, rubes and shrewd manipulators, and one (heroic?) star who runs the whole town of Lyin Valley.

• Pressure Group Turns Heat On Hannity's Sponsors, As Fox News Retracts Conspiracy Story by Joe Mandese (MediaDailyNews on 05/24/2017)
  

  I'm thankful for the list, Joe. Advertisers have to figure out that where their ads show up matters. YouTube has been feeling the heat because advertisers' spots are showing up on inappropriate sites, and mostly those advertisers don't know they're doing it. They're afraid for their reputations. These Hannity sponsors are plunking down money on that guy and his ridiculous anti-American comment and viewpoints. You can look at those lists and say, OK, brands I use are advertising there. They endorse vicious lies." After that, it's up to you and the advertisers. You get what you pay for.
