On Sunday morning, I did a 1-hour interview with talk radio host Frank Morano on 917 AM - The Answer

You don't often get a chance to do a full hour interview on the radio, but Frank had found me new book, Don't Watch This: How The Media Are Destroying Your Life so interesting that he gave me the whole slot. 

You can cover a lot of stuff in an hour!  

Mostly, we talked about how 40+ years of an addictive medium like TV, video or movies has a warping impact on soclety.

Among other things, spending 8 hours a day, every day, watching other people do stuff teaches you, over and over, to be passive.

It also teaches you that if you just sit and watch, someone, somehow is going to come along and solve the problem.

Which is why we look at things like Climate change and figure someone is going to solve this somehow.

But not me.

Check out the whole hour here.

TV News’ Original Sin
January 08, 2025

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
