A LOW IN ’22

One of the lows here in 2022 was the cancellation of CNN’s “Reliable Sources”. It was a GREAT show about the Media. It examined the story behind the story. It covered a wide range of media topics from TV and movies to corporate power players in the media industry. There was an incredible amount of content. And to this viewer the show was still going strong. But the last on air action on the show seen by these eyes was that of host Brian Stelter drinking a cup of coffee. For full disclosure, don’t know the exact content of the CNN cup he had in his hand but am willing to bet huge sums that it was coffee. At any rate, it was from “Reliable Sources” that this blogger learned what a blog was. It was a decade or so ago and back then the host was Howard Kurtz and blogs were emerging as the leading social media platform. At the time much was being said in the mainstream media about the “blogosphere.” Came to the party late but the party is still going on. And there’s a big pot of coffee in the back.[smile].
