But the idea that in this day and age of social media algorithms and streaming, that the whole world would be watching the same thing at the same time is also preposterous. I’ll suspend disbelief for an alien conspiracy, but not for this make-believe media ecosystem.
The only bad part about Disclosure Day is the end, when a no-name little girl anchor delivers the news — with the most cliche-cringe kicker, to boot. In real life, who would listen and believe this total stranger? Where is our Cronkite and Peter Jennings? Sad comment on today.
This CNN post was clearly written by AI (or by someone who’s been reading too much AI). ChatGPT & Co. loves these narrative ledes with incongruous twists. AI policing is now part of my unofficial job description.
@maxwelltani I would have bought it because I love high-brow trash but the problem is that her book doesn’t deliver the goods. The real tea is in Lizza’s substack.
the most fun fact (to me) from this election night: Abigail Spanberger born in Red Bank, NJ, will be governor of Virginia and Mikie Sherrill, born in Alexandria, VA, will be governor of New Jersey
Somebody at NJ DHS included me on an email distribution blast marked “test,” now my inbox is approaching a hundred reply-alls from govt workers volunteering ‘I’m on this list in error’, ‘please remove me’ and ‘please don’t reply all.’ Thank God state government isn’t shut down!
@Variety Looks and sounds dumb. Why didn’t they just call it “USA News” considering they also own the USA brand and are rebranding Golf under USA Sports?
@CJGriffinEsq@jmaxmann@wildstein I agree with CJ. Public notices printed in newspapers was an invaluable resource when I was covering 20 towns as a local reporter. They should be required to published on a central website, perhaps run by the Department of Communtiy Affairs.
NJ campaigns are super expensive and some of the spending is inefficient. To get on broadcast TV you have to buy air time in the first and fifth biggest markets in the country.
