Re: [TV orNotTV] Worst TV commercial ever?

I'm tempted now. But it's a malt beverage. Drives me nuts how the USA makes coolers like smirnoff ice with malt instead of vodka. I have not found a malt beverage (other than beer) that tastes good. Almost all our Canadian coolers are vodka based. Rarely ever malt. Probably due to our

Re: [TV orNotTV] News Pays (Again)

I'm not sure I agree with you on that - What Trump has done with Fox News, Brietbart, and the intimidation and manipulation of and straight out lying to the news media is as bad as what Bush/Cheney did with Miller; the difference I guess is that this time the repuatuable news organizations are

To previous examples I have submitted here (WaPo, CNN) that, at least in the Age of Trump, real journalism can actually be profitable, we can maybe add CBS (maybe because not clear it is yet enjoying increased profitability but at least is getting noticed). Jeannie Sullivan (WaPo Media Columnist)

Re: [TV orNotTV] Worst TV commercial ever?

You forget the times we lived in, when cellular minutes were costly. The two-way radio feature didn't count against your minutes. The owners of one of the studio audience ticketing companies I worked for used that feature constantly when loading in audiences for TV shows. For me, the worst

[TV orNotTV] Worst TV commercial ever?

Inspired by the thread on worst sports announcer, I suggest a discussion of the worst national commercial ever. No local or even regional commercials here. I’ve seen regional commercials bubble up to the national level that were painful to watch. I’m going to go with Dennis Franz using the radio

Supposedly the reason she got suspended is that she called conservatives hypocrites. Plus, she just said she's pro-choice. I don't think FOX News wants any part of her, unless it's to finally fill the Alan Colmes position. On Sun, Mar 26, 2017 at 12:53 PM, Melissa P
