Online Public Relations Thoughts

Another newspaper shrinking to irrelevance.  When are newspaper owners going to realize that less news means fewer subscribers and a death spiral?  If they can't afford print, there is online.  The New York Times has millions of online subscribers and 570,000 print subscribers, a falling number.  Some day they will shut the presses but will continue profitably on the web.

What do you do when lemons are sour?  Squeeze them, add sugar and make lemonade.  That is what President Trump has done with the Kennedy Center.  Artists were cancelling appearances at the venue after Trump put his name on the building, so Trump decides that the Center is old and dilapidated and needs a two-year refurbishment.  Voila! Problem solved.  Another example of his low cunning.

The lawsuit against the IRS is merited but the amount in damages is questionable.  Trump is making headlines again.   

Blaming the victim...

Republican lawmakers are still captured by Trump's aura and are afraid to speak out about the ICE shootings in Minneapolis.  So they talk in code and anonymity.  Pathetic.
