Clay Travis vs Matt Jones 🔥 latest battle over podcast download numbers
Our iHeart Radio #BBN god Matt Jones is a terrific radio talent. He is provocative, knowledgable, and humorous. I am a friend and fan. Matt brings a lot of attention to our business which boosts all of our stations. These same attributes can be said of Tennessee broadcast icon Clay Travis, founder of Outkick.com and a host of many sports and cultural amplifying media products. These two can't stand each other. Matt just brag tweeted about his Kentucky Sports Radio (KSR) show being #1 in America. Clay wasn't going to let that incorrect claim stand for long. This is 1 billion % not true dude. Cowherd does over 10 million downloads a month. That’s the most in iheart sports, but many iheart sports shows
Jelly Journalist War: one man’s tweet is another man’s moralizing rebuke crusade. Meanwhile, more diseases are sprouting. Can we focus on real news?
🔥 Journalists cannibalizing each other is becoming common practice in the prestige motivated grandstanding realm. (See: Courier Journal woke writers vs WAVE3 headline authors). Today's top clickbait sport for newby activist journos is torching colleagues. WTTG/Washington news anchor Blake McCoy tweeted his thoughts on obese people getting COVID vaccinations ahead of some "essential workers." His bosses at WTTG have suspended the anchor for his tweet, even though McCoy deleted it and issued a subsequent apology. The twitter mob, always searching to scorch non-woke speech, mobilized quickly to take down McCoy. But then there's this guy...a fellow journalist whose twitter feed has been non-stop trashing McCoy as if his insensitive message is the only news item in the universe. I smell jelly, Chris Weidmer. Weidner,
Celebs do interviews to fatten their wallets; Twitter bullies only see the ancient past through today’s WOKE lens
Hindsight is the morality playground for today's social justice warriors. They dredge ancient culture for activity that is considered unacceptable by today's standards and bully the "bad person." The stasi is back. Men interviewing women. Between 1970 - 2020. Breathtaking misogyny, across five decades. From causally but deeply vicious to stunningly ignorant and disrespectful. Stomach churning stuff. And let’s be clear, this endures. It really must be rooted out. https://t.co/TMDJG8AVVx — Colm O'Gorman (@Colmogorman) February 14, 2021 Some people are still teflon in WOKE world culture. Howard Stern peppering guests with invasive sexual questions, rock stars like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler who bragged about sleeping with teenagers, and countless male bosses who coerced sex from female employees. All still running free. Late night
Strong media interviewing allows subjects extra latitude
Welcome to interview school! I am fortunate enough to interview a great many community leaders, change agents, politicians, celebrities, and athletes. People frequently ask me about my casual interviewing techniques and why I don't crush my subjects. First, I can only be me. My personality dictates that I speak to guests on the air the exact same way that I would in a store, on the sidewalk, or in my home. More importantly, I feel that a quality interview involves listening to the guest and not making myself a part of the narrative. The guest is the star. Let's look at some variance in interview segments by Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo from CNN. This video is a compelling takedown of Black Lives Matter
The Facts of Life are flying out of the White House again
Feel the media love from "impartial" New York Times writer Annie Karni on President Joe Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki: "Her noncombative briefing was designed to project a return to normalcy, a sense that the briefing room, like the rest of the West Wing just hours into the Biden administration, is back in the hands of substantive government professionals who are not seeking to undermine the role of the press." Veteran Washington insider Jen Psaki (SOCK-ee) held her first press briefing for President Joe Biden just a few hours after his inauguration. She's a breath of fresh air, acknowledging that she will always be truthful and that everyone in the room may not agree with everything they hear from the new
Soho Karen affects one New Yorker. Street mob affects 8 million New Yorkers. Which story gets amplified? You already know.
Our media business has fallen into the trap of taking sides. Many people throw heat at media outlets now for excessive WOKE coverage. As a result, lots of stories that may spotlight minority missteps are reduced in scope or ignored altogether. Media managers fear being labeled racist for prolonged reporting on stories involving crimes allegedly committed by minorities. That's a tricky measurement in today's WOKE culture. So many media outlets find themselves overplaying to the WOKE crowd to avoid blowback from Twitter bullies. The Cancel Culture is always ready to pounce on stories involving race. This week gave us two stark examples. SOHO Karen's first stories appeared 4 days ago. It's only a cell phone dispute but since there is a racial component
What’s that? You teach sweaty teens how to run and kick a ball? Knighthood is in order, Sir!
Hey Reporter Rick, I went fishing once with Coach Jonah. A whale swallowed us and then spit us out three days later because he had to speak at the #Bassmaster press conference. True story. 🐳 https://t.co/DLsGbUyxTU — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) December 29, 2020 Media people are having fun torching some Alabama football sycophantic reporter named Rick Karle. This kiss ass Nick Saban worshipper posted instructions on Facebook for people to address the Bama football leader as COACH Saban, not informally as Nick. Karle's ire was raised after a young female reporter opened with "Hi, Saban." It was likely a nervous burst where she accidentally omitted "Coach" from her greeting but this longtime TV sports reporter Karle felt the need to shame her. Karle's twitter
That time I had to lie to the local newspaper guy, except for the “I’m going to make a living off my imagination” part
In 1985, my radio career was soaring. I was co-hosting the hugely successful WQMF-FM morning radio "Show With No Name." My partner Ron Clay was a shrewd, sardonic, soured-on-life hippie guy. He was brilliant and always had something clever to throw out on the air. We could finish each other's sentences with goofy riffs about society, celebrities, and politicians. We did outrageous things. We used sound effects to make it seem as if we were broadcasting from around the world. We lied a lot. We giggled at each other's provocative setups. We were juvenile delinquents trapped in grownup bodies. Rude boys throwing conventional broadcast techniques out the window. Radio stations in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia sent employment inquiries. None of those
A phenomenally comprehensive illustration on how we’ve ruined our media business
The current intellectual movement is "counting on the guilt-ridden, self-flagellating nature of traditional American progressives, who will not stand up for themselves, and will walk to the Razor voluntarily." https://t.co/MHXoAy9U5e— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) June 13, 2020 A free press is a sacred trust. We must protect its integrity instead of baking in bias and pretending to be objective. Diversity is good. Group think is not. BREAKING: An award-winning journalist critical of the Philippine president has been convicted of libel and sentenced to up to six years in jail, in a decision called a major blow to press freedom in an Asian bastion of democracy. https://t.co/iLFPMjV3GQ— The Associated Press (@AP) June 15, 2020
