ProPublica is doing an amazing job. I know a lady who worked on ProPublica and finally retired. She is an absolute superb journalist.

They're already going after Biden. Don jr...a right wing host actually laughing about the diagnosis etc. Our politics is so utterly broken.

Re: Have ‘Morning Joe’ Hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski destroyed their credibility with Trump reset?

YEP. Our norms, standards etc have weakened and "good character" is utterly meaningless to some. I hope their ratings plummet.

Kids ARE taught what is music and what is not. To this baby boomer, a lot of the new music (including Broadway) is missing melody. I firmly believe it's because it's much easier to write music if you don't have to worry about a melody. For instance Stephen Sondheim wrote GREAT melodies. Follies is an incredible Broadway score. But once he got to doing Company he veered away from hummable melodies and it became (with some notable exceptions) the norm. When my foster sons kids 6,8, and 10 turn on the radio and start to sing along with a song it again hits me: there's very little melody. The entertainment culture teaches them that's the norm.

Re: QUOTE OF THE DAY: ERIC SWALWELL ON THE MAGA REPUBLICAN PARTY BEING A CULT

joegandelman — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 00:22:27 -0000

Swalwell and other vocal Trump critics have been doing very well in terms of getting media coverage. They're not just doing sound bytes but comments packed with content. These comments look good in broadcast, social media and print.

Yes there is no bottom. Just think of the most ruthless, norm-breaking, illegal worst case scenarios and you can predict what Trump will do in the future, or what explains the past.

I'm a huge Abbott and Costello fan. I remember the day my sister told me Costello died. I was devastated. Actually, I like their two season Abbott & Costello Show (owned by Lou Costello...the show that inspired Seinfeld) the best out of anything they did.

Re: ANNOUNCING TMV CAPSULE MOVIE AND BOOK REVIEWS

joegandelman — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 08:10:31 -0000

You're doing fine. I used to spend hours writing long reviews and held off doing reviews since many times I wanted to do something like the short reviews in the old magazines I read a lot of books and follow entertainment news very closely. I also took a major film review class in journalism grad school. I know Tyrone long wanted more entertainment posts on TMV. SO...and I may STILL write a very long post on something dealing with entertainment.

OH did I forget to cash it? So much has been going on in my nonblog lifethat ht woudln't surprise me! I probably lost check if I didn't deposit it. I have two things as a covid survivor (I wasn't hospitalized but would have had have been if it gotten a bit worse...I did NOT have an easy time of it). First, hair fallout at 90 days but my doctor said this happens with Covid survivors and it'd grow back. And it did. Pure white (Thank God for Just for Men). I was left with more fatigue...easy to combat by taking a nap or short maps. But I DID suffer some short term memory loss so I have to be vigilent. I'm told this will burn away as well but I forget some things easily, then catch myself and can do them but I don't always remember and do them.

Tyrone has to fix it. It's there but not showing up.

Re: Crunch Time: Donate to The Moderate Voice’s Fundraiser

joegandelman — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 20:30:57 -0000

YES. Actually if you use Go Fund Me it goes right into the TMV account. Email me if you want the paypal address (and I prefer to send and receive in the friends and family category) and I then transfer it to the TMV BoA account.

You can still send it there (that's at my post box near where I used to live) or message me for another address.

joegandelman — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 13:37:34 -0000

I agree. I'm even posting my entertainment biz' YouTube videos now. I'm looking for other topics. I am hoping that once 2021 hits we'll at least have some POLICY ISSUES to write about and not report from the Twilight Zone!!

I agree. She has gone to the head of the journalistic pack. That was more of a Mike Wallace type interview. And most of her questions were said with a smile.
