"Burden’s net-worth statement, filed in December, 2020, showed that she had her own Vanguard account and a six-per-cent stake in WAMBCO; the combined value of the two exceeded ten million dollars. All of these resources would remain Burden’s alone in the divorce."

I never read Belle Burden's book because it generally takes 2 to make a bad marriage & I hate "women-good, men-bad" memoirs. But count me as stunned that the in-house publishing lawyers didn't at least look at her divorce docs. newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

By this Public Notice, the FCC’s Media Bureau seeks comment on the Petition. Does The View qualify as a bona fide news interview program? Does the federal equal opportunities statute pass relevant constitutional scrutiny, either as a general matter or as applied here? Are the relevant decisions on The View, including on format and participants, based on newsworthiness or on an attempt to oppose or support particular candidates within the meaning of FCC precedent? We welcome comment on these and any other relevant points.

What does it tell you about Hollywood that of the 5 highest paid CEOs over the past 30 years two are total idiots, one is a sexual harasser and one was so senile that he dumped his hand-picked successor and kept one of the total idiots: puck.news/ceo-gluttony-i…

Nexstar has filed its argument against States and Directv in 9th Circuit regarding deal w Tegna. Here is their statement: The plaintiffs’ claims reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of the modern media landscape in which companies like Nexstar and TEGNA are dwarfed by Big Tech, which has unlimited reach, bottomless resources, and unchecked influence. We’re looking forward to presenting our case at trial and exposing just how weak, cynical, and misguided these claims are. In the meantime, our appeal is focused on narrowing an overly broad preliminary injunction that goes far beyond the harms plaintiffs are alleging, hindering broadcasters’ ability to compete, and creating further uncertainty for an industry already under significant pressure. At a moment when the future of local journalism is at stake, keeping broadcasters from achieving the scale needed to compete only serves to strengthen the dominance of Big Tech and accelerate the erosion of local news in the communities we serve.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr says the letter ABC received saying "The View" was a bona fide news program is a "letter based on the contours of a program that existed many years ago," and is not a "binding precedent."

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr talks about why he likes to climb towers. Maybe he'd look favorably on me and my friends who in the early 80s used to climb the tower at WUSA-TV across from Wilson High School. I won't lie, I never made it to the top!
