News and commentary: progress in work
Update 7/9/20: Kirk’s eulogy for WEEI:
Kirk Minihane, the host of the Kirk Minihane Show on the Barstool Sports podcast network, is taking a victory lap after the release of the spring ratings book that reflected the listenership, or specifically the lack thereof, for Boston sports radio station WEEI, his former employer.
It remains to be seen after all this time if Brexit in the U.K. will actually result in a clearn break from European Union regulatory entanglements. A Megxit deal has been quickly struck, however, according to two carefully crafted, conciliatory statements from Queen Elizabeth and Buckingham Palace today. This development is a follow-up to a family meeting that occurred on Monday.
Fox Sports/FS1 commentator Clay Travis recently quipped that Prince Harry and U.S. actress Meghan Markle, a.k.a. the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are entering the transfer protocol.
Reunited at last. In a long-awaited/anticipated first media appearance anywhere, Gerry Callahan sat down with former radio partner Kirk Minihane on the irreverent Kirk Minihane Show podcast, a daily offering that is part of the Barstool Sports network.
Canada is headed to a national election on October 21, and apparently the Liberals and the “Conservatives” seem to be in a close contest. The situation took a turn this week, however, that may affect the outcome.
Kate Smith’s stirring recorded rendition of “God Bless America” is now deleted from the playlist at Yankees or Philadelphia Flyers games owing to racism accusations. Smith even sang in person on several occasions during Flyers playoff runs. The NHL team, which considered Smith’s singing, either on tape or in person, its good luck charm, has has even covered over a Smith statute outside the team’s home arena at the Wells Fargo Center.
NBA superstar LeBron James, the self-proclaimed greatest player of all time, made headlines recently by accusing NFL owners of harboring a slave mentality and also sharing anti-Semitic rap lyrics on his Instagram page. FS1 panelist and Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis says that LBJ benefits from athlete privilege enabled, in large part, by the fawning liberal sports media. Plus, the Lakers luminary himself could be a something of a modern-day slave master for his Nike sneaker deal, Travis argued.
Megny Kelly is not having a happy Halloween.
Kelly has reportedly hired an attorney amid reports that NBC News might cancel Megyn Kelly Today.
Kelly has apologized twice this week for her Halloween-related blackface comments, remarks which have been publicly condemned by her NBC colleagues, including network chairman Andrew Lack, as well as the quick-to-pounce, virtue-signalling social justice cohort on Twitter.
In the attempt to reinvent herself from a hard news journalist to daytime diva on the 9 a.m. Eastern Today show franchise, Megyn Kelly faced a fundamental and perhaps insurmountable challenge. The ex-corporate lawyer fundamentally lacks a television constituency.
Liberals among the current audience, on social media, and the majority of journalists who work as TV critics, simply won’t accept her on the NBC daytime platform because of her Fox News Channel resume. More conservative viewers haven’t forgiven her for turning FNC’s Kelly File into an anti-Trump and Never Trump forum.
Internally, she seems to enjoy minimal backing from her co-workers, even before this latest controversy.
When Megyn Kelly Today show debuted in September 2017, the host insisted that the show would be a politics-free zone. She did, however, quickly jump on the #MeToo bandwagon — which included reporting on alleged sexual harassment scandals within NBC such as the one that engulfed Matt Lauer — perhaps as an opportunistic way to stabilize her daypart lackluster ratings.
