OH---How the Mighty have Fallen !

HE exalts the Righteous and HE humbleth the Proud…..great words to live by every day of your life….as our gifts are best beloved in the virtue they exhibit and in their temperance…. surely not in the full-frontal display of their naked ego driven obsession…...

…Like the flame that burns too hot--- the moment of its light is brief indeed.

Such is the sage advice I have offered repeatedly to a long list of individuals for more than one half a century……their succuss that far surpasses mine is testimony of the what being a good mentor is all about

?…..our world needs much more of such selfless love …..being an effective leader is much more about being first an even better servant to everyone.

I truly lost my breath last night….for without a sign of glee or for that matter any display of affect the PBS New Commentator questioned Brian Stelter – former CNN Star ….then disgraced….fired and now at Harvard Kennedy School….. lucky him…good to have friends in high places.

Stelter, the brunt of much Carlson abuse could barely contain himself…….as he slow dissected the carcass of the new departed Tucker

….the PBS commentator probed as to illicit more salacious details…

…..”he said –what word???”

…yet the commentator’s nonverbal behavior was flawless….so well done !

It is precisely this high level of professionalism mixed with a demeanor of intellectual rationalism that provides PBS with such outstanding credibility.

I have notice lately the shifting of butts in seats in quite a few of PBS’s shows….without fanfare and totally discreet ….this is how change is done!

Carlson’s fall is a moment of absolute victory for PBS as the FOX Flagship….much lighter almost one billion dollars….is taking names and kicking?a_ _ ---- making some business decisions

?…for lest we forget FOX is about entertainment and the bottom line.

Granted it has been the only mass media source that has served as a GOP Platform, but the Dominion Case and the reams of redacted documents have rattled the Murdock’s to their core.

In 2022 Election FOX misinformation was also a pivotal part in its failure along with the Establishment GOP and their long-term strategists and pollsters.

In New Hampshire we saw ten to fifteen percent swings in the polling to the actual results……for 2024 those in charge need to discover a new recipe book!?

Hopefully FOX is having some kind of Mea Culpa Re-Org but one thing is for sure all of its bluster, bravado and braggadocio has been a huge disappointment to a most loyal fan base that have depended on them to tell the other side of the story that the Legacy Media will not.

CNN has been involved in its rehabilitation for some time….as its viewership has rocketed downward and the extreme behavior of it star players slowly dimmed the luster that this network once enjoyed.

Lemon is the last of the prima donnas to be kicked to the curb….

Yea…hmmm….its kind of ironic …..both the viewers on the Left and the Right want the same thing….professional – moderate- rational- honest folks to be relating and interpreting the context of what’s going on….

Well ..there’s hope my friends

It seems we are more alike than you think ……but the mass media doesn’t want you to know that…..its bad for ratings and for sponsors.

FOX and CNN once the proud standard bearers of their respective political brands are in a transitionary moment of re-imaging themselves.

Lucky for them that the average American has the attention span of a gnat…..so by 2024 the new and improved versions will be good to go…..all will be forgotten

The Legacy Media of ABC-CBS-NBC-MSNBC are an irrelevant essence with a small viewership and footprint in the political world….George Stephanopoulos’s moment passed twenty years ago

Meanwhile PBS/NPR just consistently like the turtle keeps moving forward….all the quick rabbits have burnt out…..their corpses litter the side of the road

Yet this turtle’s modular tone consistency hides the impressive king-maker status that it possesses…Longevity is a matter of first understanding propriety.

PBS’s latent Trump animist, Dobbs oppression, SCOTUS delegitimization, Defender of Democracy, Preserver of the Rule of Law ….Equity/Justice themes has something for everyone in 2024.

The skillful, ample, and well branded from the best spaces in American society provide them with a platform that no one in the media marketplace possesses.

Deftly they day by day tell their version of the story …crafting a narrative that favors those that they support ….their dexterity in placing doubt about those that they do not support is a study in subliminal influence.

PBS’s absence of drama, controversy or personality dysphoria …..at PBS there are really no big stars…… PBS is the star …..and at every moment their ability to aptly change riders on the horses is a perfect example for the other networks to follow.

GOP lawmakers and Candidates for 2024 would be wise indeed to actively pursue forming relationships with this turtle behemoth and get as much on-screen time as possible.

Read the tea leaves…..

PBS is the most influential media machine in the marketplace.

Yes…they may not be exciting or dazzle anyone, but they are consistent – professional and most of all so rational as they never stray to the extreme

..with the exception of Amanpour who I suspect time on the network may be drawing to a close.

2024 requires new thinking …..

The American Public may very well be more alike than you have been told.

Time to up your game and re-image your talking point positions.
