| | rantnrave:// Linear television networks today face seven key threats that continue to be overlooked, under-addressed or ignored. They don’t all apply to every network (nor are they equally menacing), but as a whole, they’re critical to both understanding and planning for the future of television. 7 Deadly Sins: Where Hollywood is Wrong about the Future of TV... Me having fun with the GOP Convention (yes, I'm going to the same for the DNC too): "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." - Me... Everything is a remix... TRUMP entrance: If FREDDIE MERCURY were alive he'd kill himself right now... If Trump ever divorces her do you think he'll move for deportation? HENRY VIII would. I feel for her for real. Trying to support her husband, but this is the big leagues... I love LSD... Oh, the irony of Trump and the media business... Many of these extras from DELIVERANCE have never seen a MUSLIM... Absolutely nothing better than a Trump tweet... I'm not confirming or denying that I may have bought a term paper once... My favorite picture from the first night of the convention's... President Trump's cabinet choices... CHELSEA HANDLER getting in on it here and here... HOWARD STERN's WACK PACK replaced by convention speakers... WORD IS BOND, yo... And of course, the other guy that is never wrong... Happy Birthday to VIVI ZIGLER, ANDREW VOGEL and JEANNE DESANCTIS. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

The streaming service, the aggrieved parties claim, is causing a massive "value gap" that is unsustainable. | | |
