Which way do I go? ?? The meaning behind Yogi's words may surprise you. I sourced the story behind today's "Yogi-ism" from the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center website. "While giving directions to his best friend Joe Garagiola to his house in Montclair, Yogi told Joe to take the fork. The fork was unique in that no matter which direction you chose, you would end up at Yogi and Carmen's house." Interesting, right!? In Yogi’s case, no matter the choice, you achieved the same result. We're rarely afforded that luxury. There's more to the story! Yogi was a risk-taker and wasn't afraid to take a fork in the road. Even though he couldn't always see what was ahead, he recognized opportunities would be available. The path forward is rarely a straight line. There's more than one way to get from point A to point B. A fork in the road is a gateway to action, not habit. "People who deliberate fully before taking a step will spend their lives on one foot." ~Chinese Proverb~ Consider the possibilities. You won't find "it" unless you first get there. ??

Standards are neither easy or trivial, nor should they be. But unlike proprietary or point solutions - they deliver interoperability, and generate quantifiable (often exponential) value for years to come. HAND (Human & Digital) appreciates all the smart, dedicated people who make metadata standards & ecosystems possible.

Can the news media regain the trust of the public? The declining trust in the news media and polarization of news audiences have profound effects on our society as a whole. I asked News analyst and journalist Joy Reid, host of the ReidOut on MSNBC, how did we get here, and if she thought that trust could be restored. Her insight is both fascinating and troubling. An interesting footnote is that the most trusted news source is The Weather Channel according to YouGov, a global public opinion and data company based in the U.K. What are your thoughts on the state of media trust? How can we address this challenge?

ON POINT:?DEBATE ANALYSIS?—? Any formal debate will have its defining wraparound, that which remains emblematic of the debate’s entirety, a full view always available for the event’s myriad audiences. As regards the Sept. 10, 2024, Donald J. Trump/Kamala Harris debate, that wraparound is unquestionably this: Trump is indeed a?“LUNATIC,”?and Kamala Harris is unquestionably?“SANE.”?From Trump was what many unbalanced persons do, they spew a sequence of lies moment after moment. Fact-checkers had trouble keeping up with Trump, he attacked the truth like a runner trying to win a marathon?race cheating, each foot’s landing a lie. The whoppers that Trump delivered included that he’d created the best?pre-Covid U.S. economy ever, when that which was superbly grand about the U.S. Economy then was the result of policy actions enacted by George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Another whopper was that he alone forced the NATO-European countries to commit more of their financial assets to greater NATO when those nations had already committed to do that while Obama was U.S. President. And, while this intensified B.S.-ing condition that has been defining Trump ever since he chose to have the American citizenry believe he was still U.S. President after proven, time and again, that Joe Biden had won the Nov. 2020 election, there’s appeared evidence that there really is in Trump’s brain a Trump-world that Trump keeps drifting in and out of and back in again. Trump’s choice to keep on lying that he was still the real U.S. President was?“Nuts.”?For that, and for an insurrection that he inspired, Trump was impeached, and he still plays the role of the victim of a weaponization of governance, a weaponization that he has told the American public he intends to establish should he return to the White House?(This duality, i.e., hypocrisy, is as if there are in Trump’s mind two horses that keep running in opposite directions simultaneously—,?there’s?something obviously wrong with that.).?BUT—Kamala Harris chose during the Sept. 10, 2024 debate to treat Trump as if he was sane enough to listen to her expose the craziness of his behavior patterns and also the idiocy of his plans for another MAGA that could not possibly MAGA. In plainer words, she made it quite clear that Trump is unfit for WH and global leadership, next describing her principles and policies for an America that is already great and could do much more for itself and for?“All”?Americans.?.?.??mlR

My latest for MSNBC: How Live Nation-Ticketmaster became the villain of our time. "The Biden administration, along with a bipartisan group of 30 state attorneys general, filed suit Thursday against?Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster. The lawsuit seeks to break up?what the government claims is an illegal monopoly. The main reaction from everyone — well, almost everyone — has been: It’s about time ...The word “Ticketmaster” has become shorthand for how companies with monopolistic control over a market segment degrade American life. ... As Jonathan Kanter, the head of the Justice Department’s anti-trust division, put it in a news release announcing the case, “The live music industry in America is broken because Live Nation-Ticketmaster has an illegal monopoly.”?It’s not possible to say no to Ticketmaster, not if you want to see a live show. They’ve stuck their greedy snout in so many parts of the process, they are all but impossible to avoid. Little wonder CNBC’s Jim Cramer, hardly an avid trustbuster, said Thursday that he has long recommended the company’s stock because “it’s the best gouger in the world.” (“Alleged gouger,” he quickly added.) .... The few defending the company seem half-hearted at best. Their complaint, on both?the left?and?the right, seems to amount to “doesn’t the Biden administration have anything more serious to do with their time?”?That reaction misunderstands the situation. First, the rule of law matters, even when we’re discussing something as frivolous and discretionary as concert tickets. Second, many Americans quite reasonably think no one in government listens to — never mind addresses — their political and economic concerns. That’s the sentiment that got Donald Trump elected to the White House in 2016 and could do so again this year. Ever-growing monopolies are a major part of this problem. The Biden administration, to its credit and to the fury of both Wall Street and Silicon Valley, is pursuing anti-trust violations with a vigor not seen in decades. The Federal Trade Commission recently filed suit against the proposed merger of?grocery store giants Kroger and Albertsons,?arguing that it will raise grocery prices and harm workers. The DOJ has filed anti-trust suits against Google and Apple and already stopped a proposed JetBlue-Spirit merger in court. As companies become dominant in a market, costs surge even as the quality of the service on offer declines. Live Nation-Ticketmaster has come to symbolize how large and increasingly unaccountable corporations diminish our lives even as they gouge us financially. Combined with our?post-Covid party-hardy ways, the issue has turned into political dynamite. Live Nation-Ticketmaster’s executives should have recalled a basic business adage: Pigs get fed while hogs get slaughtered." #Ticketmaster #LiveNation #Monopolies https://lnkd.in/gGvGGAc2

The one thing I admire most about “old school” American journalism institutions is that they truly believe that they are independent - and act accordingly. This article from The Washington Post is perhaps the most beautiful example of that attitude, at a time when this independence - present during all of our lives - is also under the greatest threat it has ever been. Manuel Roig-Franzia and Laura Wagner report on the decision by their own editorial board - and allegedly by their own owner, Jeff Bezos - to not endorse a candidate for President. With their reporting, they are clearly not doing any favors to their owner, unless, that is, their owner cares as much about their journalistic independence and integrity as they do. They report on the news - WaPo does not endorse a candidate for President for the first time in 36 years - and go on to give a voice to credible sources who explain why this is so. Their reporting follows what you would learn in journalism school, and indeed what I learned at Columbia University - Graduate School of Journalism. You lay out the facts, quickly explain what they mean, and then go on to provide further background and analysis, with sources, numbers, and bigger picture examples. These two quotes stood out the most to me in the article. The first is by Robert Kagan, who resigned as editor-at-large following the decision, the second is by Martin Baron, who retired a few years back as executive editor, and who wrote an excellent book on the Trump years at WaPo, including multiple defenses of attacks on Jeff Bezos at the time. “It’s a sort of preemptive bending of the knee to who they may think is the probable winner,” said Kagan, whose resignation was first reported by SEMAFOR. “Anybody who is as much a part of the American economy as Bezos is … they obviously want to have a good relationship with whoever is in power. [It’s] an attempt to try not to be on the wrong side of Donald Trump.” “This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty. Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners),” former Post executive editor Martin Baron, who led the paper while Trump was president, said in a text message to The Post. “History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.” I still know quite a few people at the Post, especially in the newsroom, and after reading this article, I hope they’re going to be OK. That goes both for those who have been there for many years, and have bought into the vision of Marty. And those who have recently joined, and are trying to build the Post of tomorrow. That last assignment just got a lot harder. Perhaps there is a silver lining, but the current management did fail in 101 of stakeholder leadership: to know who your stakeholders are. https://lnkd.in/eTF52JiV
