[misc] gotta give tnx to Fox, yes.. for airing this clip of Reggie Jackson (fwd)

[danny burstein]

[superseding... in my earlier note I linked to
a censored version]

Fox sports asked Base Ball Legend Reggie Jackson
his feelings about coming back to the stadium
where he had gotten the MVP award in 1973

In his reply he talked about the extensive racism
he encountered and thanked his manager and teammates
for sticking by him, as in, for example, walking
out of restaurants that refused to serve "the Nigger".

Yes, Reggie used that word.  And yes, Fox aired
it.

[twitter version.  The other copies I've found

B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton dead following prison attack

 Convicted B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton, who preyed on women he lured from 
Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to his rural pig farm, has died.


The 74-year-old was violently attacked by a fellow inmate in a Quebec prison on 
May 19. Pickton was rushed to hospital where he was put into a medically 
induced coma before succumbing to his injuries Friday.

[media] Why 4 longtime WDIV journalists, others are retiring in July

[danny burstein]

-- Forwarded message --
Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 19:18:17 +
From: WDIV GM Bob Ellis via Insider 
Reply-To: newslet...@e.clickondetroit.com
Subject: Why 4 longtime WDIV journalists, others are retiring in July

*
From the GM: 4 longtime WDIV journalists, others are retiring in
July. Here’s why
*

 

I got into journalism by accident. I grew up here, went to high
school in Southfield and got placed into the journalism class
responsible for publishing the school newspaper first term my
freshman year.

It was a class for juniors and seniors, but the teacher of the
class gave me my first break. He said let’s give this kid a
chance. I think he might have a knack for understanding the news
and what’s important. I haven’t left since.

I share this story because having worked in and around newsrooms
for 30+ years I knew it would be newsworthy when the most watched
and trusted local news organization in Detroit did something
we’ve never done before. Because for me this is home, I knew this
news would affect our loyal viewers.

Last March we offered a small group of long tenured employees a
voluntary retirement incentive program. It was a package that
helped bridge the gap between now and retirement for people who
were near or at that time in their life. People who’ve been here
a long time. Some of that group said yes.

Four of them you know well because you see them on TV every day.
Bernie Smilovitz, Rod Meloni, Paula Tutman and Mara MacDonald
will all be saying goodbye in early July. A number of
behind-the-scenes employees, equally important to our station,
will be leaving that same day.

Why did we do it?

At our company, we deeply value the hard work and loyalty of our
employees. We work hard to create an exceptional workplace that
attracts and retains top talent. We had a unique opportunity to
reward a group of long-serving individuals who have been
instrumental in building our station’s success over the years.
And while its bittersweet to see these friends and colleagues
depart, it reflects our commitment to recognizing and
appreciating our employees, which is a key reason we consistently
attract and retain exceptional people.

You might have heard from someone or read a comment on social
media that these people were pushed out. That’s just not true.
But don’t take my word for it, read a snippet of an email Paula
Tutman wrote me after making her decision:

After a lot of consideration and soul searching, I am happily
accepting the offer. I already miss the people I haven’t met and
the stories I still want to tell about our wonderful State and
its people. I am also incredibly appreciative that my employer
thought enough of me to forgo the gold watch and give me
something truly generous and useful—a great start to an early
retirement. They didn’t have to do it, yet they did. Lots of
organizations in our industry are just slashing jobs and salaries
in this changing climate. That’s not what happened here. I can
only speak for myself—I am being treated well and am excited to
travel, sculpt clay, raise orchids, work on screenplays, teach
workshops, and do whatever the H*** I want to do without a
pressing deadline.

Of the group offered, some didn’t take it. Mostly, they said, it
was because they had more left to give. And that’s where you come
in. More left to give. More stories to tell. More people to help.
More things to celebrate with you. (Detroit Lions we’re looking
at you.) More Go 4 it events to coordinate. More Parades. More
Fireworks. More special events.

At WDIV things might look a little different but our commitment
to serving our local community will never change. It can’t. We
owe it to this special group. We’ve got to honor these people who
are leaving by continuing their legacy. As the promos on TV say,
at WDIV, you should always Expect More.

We work everyday at this station to make Detroit and Southeast
Michigan a better place to live. Sometimes we do it very well.
Sometimes we make mistakes. But never do we ever waver from our
commitment to you. It’s ingrained in all of us because of people
like Bernie, and Rod, and Paula, and Mara. Now some new faces
will get opportunities to earn your trust and carry on where
these people leave off. Same with the behind-the-scenes folks who
are also equally responsible for making WDIV who we are today.

It’s news. I get it. But as my high school journalism teacher
said to me many years ago, make sure the facts are correct. Now
you know the facts.

By the way, if you’re wondering where that teacher is today, he’s
the Mayor of Southfield. It’s good to be home.

Subject: Johnny Wactor, 37, ACshot and killed in alleged theft gone wrong
Date: Sun, 26 May 2024 22:53:48 +


General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor, 37, has been shot dead in Los
Angeles in an alleged theft gone wrong. His mum Scarlett has paid
tribute to the star in a heartbreaking statement ..The rising star -
who appeared in American TV drama General Hospital - had reportedly
witnessed three men attempting to steal his catalytic converter
alongside a colleague early Saturday morning. Wactor's mum, Scarlett,
said that he made no move to confront the thieves, but tragically, they
are believed to have shot him before fleeing the scene. The local
emergency services were swiftly alerted and arrived on location just
after 3am.

Re: if only there was an overnight network news program... oh wait...

[Debbie Speer]

Been reporting on Live Nation’s bad behavior for some 20 years, but this time 
my little but mighty independent trade pub is no longer independent. But not to 
defend the Evil Empire my now-parent company is allegedly colluding with, let 
it be known that the Taylor Swift Eras tour is not affiliated with Live Nation, 
but with AEG whose primary ticketer is AXS. 



But my take on the DOJ action? More awful Taylor Swift lyrics passing as 
commentary, lots of grandstanding and, ultimately, a quiet settlement.

misc media/old tv-movie ID request

None of the more usual sources, including
postings on that Usenet thing, have led
to any answers.

So kicking her in desperation...  Thanks

Newsgroups: rec.arts.tv
Subject: [YATVID] A missing President...

on the slim chance anyone here remembers...

The possible death today of Iran's President whose helicopter
  is ... missing ...  of course reminds us all of
  Robert "brother of ykw" Sterling's book, and
  the later tv-movie "The President's Plane is Missing"

I vaguely recall there had been another very similar
tv movie at roughly the same time, possibly even
a few years earlier..

But I'm drawing a complete blank on the less well
known one.

Any chance someone here knows what I'm talking about?

Thanks

 RIP Dabney Coleman (1932 - 2024)

Coleman began his career in the film The Towering Inferno, and guest / 
recurring roles on That Girl, Bonanza, The Mod Squad, and The Mary Tyler 
More Show.


He is best known as the boss Franklin Hart in the film 9 to 5 co-starring 
Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda. He played similar roles in films 
such as Tootsie, Dragnet, Modern Problems, and The Beverly Hillbillies.


Coleman starred on the acclaimed but short-lived sitcom Buffalo Bill as an 
egotistic talk show host. He also appeared in War Games and on HBO's 
Boardwalk Empire.


Of course Coleman is known to Muppet fans for playing Martin Price /Murry 
Plotski in The Muppets Take Manhattan.

Ok, to be clear here...  WABC AM radio, 770 kc, broadcasting
50,000 watts from NYC... is no longer part of the ABC network
(well, pseudo network) in any way, shape, or form [a].

A NYC billionaire, John Catsimatidis, bought it from,
umm, whatever its exact status was... about four
years ago and has been having some fun with it.

To his credit, he re-hired Cousin Brucie to DJ music
Sat evenings.  However, most of the week daytime
programming is quasi right-wing "talk".

One of these shows was... the Rudy hour.  But Catsimatidis
finally got pissed enough to fire him.

disclosure: Catsi and I have known each other for a decade,
and he'll read maybe 1/10th of the notes I send him, and
actually follow up on maybe 1/10,000th of them.

[media] ABC News Pres. Kim Godwin stepping down

[danny burstein]

obwnn:  Yeah, you know...

[WSJ]

ABC News President Kim Godwin stepped down Sunday night, months after a 
corporate restructuring that effectively stripped away much of her 
management autonomy.


"I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism," Godwin said in the 
email sent to staff Sunday night. "Anyone who's passionate about what we 
do knows there's no other business like it, so this was not an easy or 
quick decision. But after considerable reflection, I'm certain it's the 
right one for me as I look to the future and prioritize what's most 
important for me and my family."

Yes, with Tina Chen, Stefanie Powers, and some others.

Any other jinxes that WNN has been prone to?  My favorite (a good jinx?) is 
probably the Saga of the Right Chair, where, if that anchor
leaves, she's likely to have a *baby* before long.  ESPECIALLY if she protests, 
"I'm not pregnant!", during her sendoff :-).

Re: [DEADPOOL] On that long hearse ride....but the cops won't catch him

[Rose Ellen Auerbach]

The Chase went down the night before my college graduation. We were sitting
around the living room in my campus apartment, halfheartedly festooned with
streamers and balloons in classic "We're all packing to move out and we
found some streamers and balloons from that birthday party in February"
style, and I was trying to contextualize everything for my housemates and
neighbors.

Makes the dates easy to remember, anyway.

My OJ memory... I was at KFBK in Sacramento running the board for an NBA
playoff game broadcast when coverage of The Chase started. Our managing
editor came in and did a play-by-play of the chase watching the TV video.

Later that day, a woman called upset that we were running the basketball

KFBK...

I once saw the deceased's mentor,born Jesse Kuhaulua,wrestled as
Takamiyama,coached as Azumazeki,naturalized as Daigoro Watanabe,
quoted as attributing various life expectancies to sumo wrestlers
in inverse order of rank,but the numbers he cited didn't hold up

Wonder no more, Woman... Trina Robbins, 85

[danny burstein]

[comicbook.com]

Trina Robbins, Legendary Cartoonist and Wonder Woman Artist, Passes Away 
at 85


Robbins wrote a number of non-fiction books about the history of women in 
comics.


Trina Robbins, the cartoonist and artist known for her decades-long career 
in the underground comix movement, has passed away at the age of 85. The 
news was broken on Wednesday night, with comic writer Gail Simone paying 
tribute to Robbins in a Facebook post. Beginning in the 1970s, Robbins 
became one of the most instrumental female voices in underground comix, 
contributing to or editing a number of anthologies or papers. She was also 
a prolific advocate for chronicling the history of women in comics and 
cartooning, publishing over half a dozen books on the subject.

  ...
In addition to her unground work, Robbins designed the original costume 
for Warren Publishing's heroine Vampirella, and was the first-ever woman 
artist to draw DC's Wonder Woman.

misc media: Big disturbance in The Force for small publishers

[danny burstein]

Yes, lots of backstory in this, but the net result
is a lot of small publishers and their authors are
getting screwed, yet again...

[authors guild]

In a devastating blow to the literary community, Small Press Distribution 
(SPD) has announced its immediate closure after 55 years of serving 
independent publishers and authors. This sudden shutdown leaves many small 
presses and their writers facing an uncertain future, as they grapple with 
the loss of a vital distribution channel and the logistical challenges of 
retrieving their inventory.


Founded in 1969, SPD has been a critical partner for hundreds of 
independent literary publishers, enabling them to bring diverse, 
experimental, and groundbreaking literature to readers worldwide. The 
closure of SPD is a significant loss for the indie publishing world, as it 
has played a crucial role in supporting authors who have gone on to win 
numerous prestigious awards, including National Book Awards, Pulitzer 
Prizes, and MacArthur "Genius" Grants. Nevertheless, SPD was not 
without controversy, and had recently come under fire from some workers 
for employment abuses, including unpaid wages and paying below minimum 
wage

 =
rest:
https://authorsguild.org/news/small-press-distribution-closes-what-authors-and-publishers-need-to-know/

from other reports... it looks like quite a few publishers have
their books in the SPD warehouse and will have to pay to
get them back.  Also, this shutdown occurred right before
SPD was going to make quarterly payments to the publishers
and authors...

[NYTimes]

Mary Ann Zielonko, Partner of Kitty Genovese, Dies at 85

The murder of Ms. Genovese, and her neighbors' reaction to it, generated 
headlines. The nature of her relationship with Ms. Zielonko was a different 
story.


For 60 years, Kitty Genovese has endured as a symbol of big-city apathy, the 
victim not only of a knife-wielding killer but also of her neighbors' 
reluctance to get involved. Two weeks after a man named Winston Moseley 
stalked, raped and murdered her in Queens late at night in March 1964, a New 
York Times article reported that 38 of her neighbors had heard her cries for 
help, yet did nothing.


That account turned out to be significantly flawed.

yet another news agency shuts down their Japanese bureau

[danny burstein]

[NYC's Tabloid of Record]

 CBS News abruptly shutters Tokyo bureau to cut costs after over 50 years 
in Japan


CBS News quietly shut down its Tokyo bureau this week — a desperate move 
to slash costs that could crimp the network’s coverage of China, The 
Post has learned.


According to sources close to the situation, CBS News London bureau chief 
Andrew Roy - who some at the network call "the hatchet" - flew to 
Tokyo on Tuesday to fire the staff, ending the network presence in Japan 
after more than half a century.


"It is not a big bureau but with everything going on in the region, 
it's throwing up a white flag," a source close to the Tiffany Network 
said. "Money is more important than covering a major part of the 
world."
