@Variety I'm grateful for my SAG-AFTRA pension. I was a member for years. They were strong once, but when I left in 2015, they had become slaves to big broadcasting and couldn't negotiate their way out of a wet paper bag. Maybe things have changed. I hope so.
Scott Pelley's abrupt exit from CBS laid bare his arrogance. He clearly considered himself above both the network and its leadership. Tony Dukoupul's report on Pelley's departure was framed as a tribute to a valued colleague who was lost to friendly fire. No, Pelley triggered his own downfall. Any memorial would have been better suited to YouTube or another platform, rather than on the CBS Evening News. It displayed undue respect for someone who ultimately did not respect his own team enough to give the new bosses a chance to make their mark.
If I was the new boss at 60 Minutes, I'd put Pelley in his place in short order. I'll tell you this much -- I wouldn't be the one storming out of the room. https://t.co/IWMs81tDG8
Radio World: A startup around-the-clock radio news network will make its debut with four experienced voices from CBS News Radio. Worldwide News Network is a 24-hour national radio news service that is slated to debut at midnight on May 23, or just after the shutdown of CBS News Radio’s operations. https://t.co/kEIrfnUPcr
Great day at NAB in Vegas — finally got to reconnect with friends and colleagues I haven’t seen in far too long. L–R: JY, Melody Morgan, Carl Swanson, Jeff MacIntyre
@springsteen What's sad, Bruce, is that you have been trashing America for decades - long before Trump was elected by millions. Had you been born in Iran, you'd be a broke nobody. I helped you get rich, by playing & promoting your music since 1975. What a waste.
@JessicaTarlov If a King ran the country, these protests would not be permitted. If he allows it, he can't be as bad as they say. Dictators - like those in Iran - would have machine-gunned the crowds and been done with it.
@gotrice2024 It happened to me with an office chair delivery from Costco. I waited all day, then got a note from UPS: "Delivery attempt failed". It failed alright, because you never even tried! Got it the next week, but I let them know I was NOT happy. As if they cared.
@GoCountry105 I recall seeing (and hearing) you in the halls at WW1, though we never worked together. Best wishes for this exciting new chapter in your life.
@def_leppar20044 Ten Years After. L.A. Forum. Early 70's. Their equipment was delayed in Europe, so we were blessed with extra-long sets from Thee Image and Malo. "Ten Years After" that, I was playing Def Leppard as a DJ on WIMZ in Knoxville, TN.
@joekent16jan19 Trump has been talking about making this move for decades, so it doesn't seem likely that Israel was the motivating factor. Not by itself, at least. Iran has been an existential threat to all of us since they took 444 Americans hostage decades ago.
