Dizzy From The Spin

Oh yeah... there is some seriously interesting shit happening in the United States. What is interesting, to me at least, is how this is all being brought to the public through the media. Despite the title of this episode, there isn't much spin being placed into this immigration story.

There is an interesting reason as to why there isn't much spin on the current situation. You know why? Simple. You can't polish this turd enough.

Peeing In The Reporter's Pool

I spent quite a few years in the world of journalism. It was a great time and at the same time, I'm glad I am not in that industry anymore. There is no way I could survive in today's newsrooms. With that said, there are a lot of things about the people who work as journalists and reporters many people don't really understand.

News is a difficult business. These days, it's a whole different ballgame. These days, the public likes to shoot the messenger, a lot.

New Media Doesn't Mean No Media

You can think of this as part 1 of a two part show regarding the state of the media in this country. In this episode, I take a pretty fervent stand in defending the news media, in general terms, mind you. Part two will look into the actual people that make up the news media. More on that next week.

There has been some talk that the President Elect wants to close the White House Press Room and do away with the White House Press Corps. Can he do that? Sure. He can do what he wants. Is it a good idea? Nope.

Artificially Intelligent

It would appear that we as a society are welcoming the Internet of Things into our lives on a very deliberate and slow process. Step by step, artificial intelligence is coming into everything whether we want it to or not.

But it is not just machines I am concerned with. As ridiculous as it may sound, there are a good number of people out there who seem to be artificially intelligent. Scary, right?

I did ask Siri if she planned on taking over the world. She responded in this episode.

2016- Bye, Felicia

If you are reading this, congratulations! You survived 2016. In year marked by lots of death and the loss of familiar names and faces, we somehow managed to survive the overall divisiveness of the year. In fact, "divisive" is a good word to describe 2016. Not that much of the year would be recalled at all. It's not like we're going to be sitting at the bar reminiscing years past and the the subject of 2016 should come up. I seriously doubt any of that nonsense will happen.

But, there were a few highlights to 2016. Namely that it is now over.
