RE: ESPN

Axe is falling on some good people...Brett McMurphy and Jayson Stark are two of em...steady drip drip drip as people get 'the call' all day

What's remarkable is none of the 'screaming heads' types have been shitcanned (so far). They're eliminating the actual reporters.

I like Stark, it's too bad. I do have some tangential experience with Disney cutting resources, they don't generally cut stuff but when they do, it is swift. They will make the decision and it is done pronto. The money spigot will be full force one moment and they will turn on a dime.

The ESPN stuff is a little different, the writing has been on the wall for a few years now. They have not been well prepared for the streaming revolution, but in their defense it's hard to go in that direction when you are relying on gigantic carriage fees.

Referencing The Talent as an authority is an impeccable, unassailable approach. Your best work of the year, jrg98.

That Judith Slater sounds like a true piece of work. Rupert cannot be happy as this has to have a negative influence on the Sky News acquisition.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.95cf1e812abe

Trump has unilateral power over trade in a way that he does not over almost everything else. He doesn't need Congress in order to give the six-month-notice on NAFTA. This NAFTA thing is a 100-days thing. I wouldn't take it all that seriously either. Wilbur Ross said a month or so ago that ``when everyone knows you have the big bazooka, you probably won't actually need to use it". File this under that. It's a tactic. Not that it's OK. It's bullshit. But I don't think we should assume that NAFTA is toast. Every knife in DC would be out and ready.
