This is concerning on so many levels.

I also have to admit that this CNN segment is, at last, delivering the facts.

Deception and lies! Part of the strategy of course. And of course, the "big media" are at the right side!

My friend Chris Cillizza is one of the more entrepreneurial people I know in journalism. And a year and a half after a very public setback, he's figured something out. Washingtoninans of a certain era will recall the old Politics & Pints trivia nights at Capitol Lounge (RIP) -- hosted by Chris amid a throng of barflys, Hill staffers and journalists. If you were lucky enough to score an invitation to join Greg Giroux's team, the Abe Froman's Sausage Kings, it was usually quite a lucrative night too because the winners got their bar tabs comped. Greg won *a lot*. I'm pretty sure I still have a pint glass with Chris's face on it somewhere, a victory prize from one of those wins. Chris got to that spot by building a community from his politics blog, The Fix. He was one of the first to do DC political blogging in a serious way at a major publication, at that point the Washington Post. Then he moved to CNN for an even bigger platform of both digital and TV. And then, somewhere along the way, it went wrong. Given the realities of the industry over the last two decades, many journalists have found themselves in a room they didn't want to be in, where their media company says that for whatever reason they don't want you anymore. That was me in 2009 shortly after Congressional Quarterly was acquired, when 40+ folks were brought into the same room and told en masse we were out. In late 2022, that was Chris too. Sometimes that's you. Sometimes that's just the way the coin flips. But say what you want about balance sheet realities, if you're in that room it's hard not to take it personally. So, as one does after a bout of bad news, he licked his wounds and started a Substack. And he also started a YouTube channel. Both grew very slowly. Some stuff hit, some didn't. But they grew. Over time the baseline rose, the hits came more frequently and the misses receded. Now the YouTube channel has topped 25,000 subscribers. Videos tend to come in around 5 minutes and are getting 20k+ views regularly. He's finding an audience, and growing a business model. The simple reality is that life is going to throw you setbacks, especially when you work in a volatile industry. And while I'm sure he's a long way from his goals, he's figuring it out.

For the first time since 1960, the SAG-AFTRA union representing 160,000 Hollywood actors is concurrently on strike with the Writers Guild of America. According to the latest CivicScience data, reruns might engage a majority of network viewers, with 58% claiming they’re at least ‘somewhat likely’ to watch reruns during the strikes (and 25% coming in at ‘very likely’).
