When I was a youngster growing up in rural Waukesha County my parents subscribed to the Milwaukee Journal, Waukesha Freeman and Lake Country Reporter. All print media with the most recent news from their self described bailiwicks. News also arrived via the radio and TV. We didn’t watch the evening network news per se, but […]
Saying goodbye to 2017
It’s that time of year again. It’s the time of the year when we look back at 2017 and reflect on the joys, pains, and sadness of the year. Here is a collection of 2017 look backs I thought you might enjoy:
A friend of the blog suggested that MJS was paying attention and used the proper type face for this headline. But that brings up two more issues!
What the flock is this page three feel good story doing on the front page above the fold when the White House continues to thrash around asea […]
What are you guys thinking? It’s bad enough that the daily print edition is constantly shrinking and that there seems to be less and less editing of content. But don’t give up on good design yet.
But this headline is egregious, and I don’t mean the content. That typeface is awful…isn’t consistent with the […]
Open Letter to Yahoo News
Just having a little fun with Yahoo News…I know that they are just an aggregator for most of this stuff and some piece of software somewhere uses an algorithm to determine this…but Yahoo: at some point you need to have a pair of human eyes look at this stuff. I mean really!

In the continuing all day everyday coverage of President Donald Trump’s preposterous claim that the Obama White House was involved in surveillance of the Trump Tower during the 2016 Presidential Campaign…as the events unfold…it seems the identifier of ‘fake news’ is actually the world’s biggest victim of said ‘fake news’.
No, I really don’t care what they are wearing…not Melania, not Ivanka, not the House Dem Woman, not the president. I care about what they say they are going to do and then what they do. Can we just cut out all of the diversionary conversations?
The New York Times and The Washington Post Fight Back
For the first time in forever, the New York Times purchased ad time on the Oscars Telecast:
There has been a great deal of controversy around the ad from the left, from the media, and Twitter’s number one account holder. I am not sure exactly what they hope to accomplish…but I am grateful that […]
Trump White House Loves and Hates Unnamed Sources
During his speech at CPAC this week, President Donald Trump once again trotted out his attack on the media. And one of his newest points about the “fake news” was the fairly common practice of using unnamed sources. Now of course serious media outlets have procedures in place to insure that they are publishing […]
By now we have all digested the nonsense ‘alternative fact’ from President Trump about the media underreporting or just not reporting on terrorist attacks. And how simple it was to debunk. And how the White House quickly and easily provided a list of 78 examples and how simple they were to debunk. We all […]
