Use the correct word!

I’ll leave it up to you to find the interview yourself, but Trump reportedly said that he wants to “terminate” The New York Times and Washington Post

Good grief, the correct word is “cancel.” As in, “Hello, circulation? I want to CANCEL my subscription!”

Welcome, Tulsa Sun

From the first episode of HBO’s new series, “Watchmen,” (fictional) The Tulsa Sun makes its debut.

The Tulsa Sun is fictional, the Tulsa World is real. The race riots were real.

Here’s a link from The Washington Post:

HBO’s ‘Watchmen’ depicts a Tulsa race massacre that was all too real. Hundreds died.

In 1921, a white mob descended on an area of the city known as ‘Black Wall Street,’ killing at least 300 black people and leaving 10,000 homeless.

DC Comics: No no no no no!

Apparently DC Comics next storyline for Supes (Issue No. 18, starting Dec. 11) has the Man of Steel going public with his alter ego.

AAAARRrrrGHHHH! Just say no!

The NYTimes asks and almost answers these questions:

• What’s the catch?
• How long will this last?
• Who else will Superman’s news affect?
• Is this because of Lois?
• Can Clark still work as a reporter?

ASMR Newspaper page turning

I really don’t get ASMR, but if that sort of thing is your thing. here’s a tube of someone flipping through several newspapers from the UK.— for 33 minutes.

Paper, Boi! Good doggie!

I had a yellow lab years ago that I was training to fetch the afternoon newspaper. However, she would shake it all the way up the drive so it would be shredded by the time it hit the porch!

Different doggo, just as cute!

How’s it going?

Again, from Imgur with this title:

My sister just got married, she asked me to save her a newspaper from her wedding day.

From back in 2014… Any followup?

Breaking Meows!

Found on Imgur, posted by bkurtj1984. Don’t know where the OC is from, but funny.

BTW — I have one of these litter boxes and it is great. Keeps the car litter in and almost more importantly, keeps the dogs out!

‘Noelle’ gives us a new fake newspaper

Here’s the movie synopsis from Youtube: In Disney+’s holiday comedy “Noelle,” Kris Kringle’s daughter is full of Christmas spirit and holiday fun, but wishes she could do something “important” like her beloved brother Nick, who will take over from their father this Christmas. When Nick is about to crumble like a gingerbread cookie from all the pressure, Noelle suggests he take a break and get away…but when he doesn’t return, Noelle must find her brother and bring him back in time to save Christmas.

Of course there’s a newspaper at the North Pole!

And when the new Santa goes missing, The Daily Carol is ON TOP of the story!

… Love the play on the Daily Caller. The movie streams on Nov. 12

Newspapermen profiled

Stop the presses! The heralded lives of newspapermen

CBS Sunday Morning did their cover story today about two newspaper columnists, Pete Hamill and Jimmy Breslin. Unfortunately the tone was more along the line of an obit for newspapers.

Still, worth the watch. Hit the link.

‘ Richard Jewell’ Good grief

http://www.richardjewellmovie.com/

I was in Centennial Olympic Park when the bomb went off. I was working for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on their Olympics team. It was a crazy time.

I suspect that the AJC is not going to be portrayed in a favorable light in this film.

Here’s the blurb from the YouTube page (above):

Directed by Clint Eastwood and based on true events, “Richard Jewell” is a story of what happens when what is reported as fact obscures the truth.

“There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have thirty minutes.” The world is first introduced to Richard Jewell as the security guard who reports finding the device at the 1996 Atlanta bombing—his report making him a hero whose swift actions save countless lives. But within days, the law enforcement wannabe becomes the FBI’s number one suspect, vilified by press and public alike, his life ripped apart. Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his client’s name, while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.

The film stars Oscar winners Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) as Watson Bryant and Kathy Bates (“Misery,” TV’s “American Horror Story”) as Richard’s mom, Bobi; Jon Hamm (“Baby Driver”) as the lead FBI investigator; Olivia Wilde (“Life Itself”) as Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Kathy Scruggs; and Paul Walter Hauser (“I, Tonya”) stars as Richard Jewell.

Oscar winner Eastwood directed from a screenplay by Oscar nominee Billy Ray (“Captain Phillips”), based on the Vanity Fair article “American Nightmare—The Ballad of Richard Jewell” by Marie Brenner. Eastwood also produced under his Malpaso banner, alongside Tim Moore, Jessica Meier, Kevin Misher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson and Jonah Hill.

Eastwood’s creative team includes director of photography Yves Bélanger and production designer Kevin Ishioka, along with longtime costume designer Deborah Hopper and Oscar-winning editor Joel Cox (“Unforgiven”), who have worked with Eastwood throughout the years on numerous projects. The music is by Arturo Sandoval, who scored 2018’s “The Mule.”

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a Malpaso Production, an Appian Way/Misher Films/75 Year Plan Production, “Richard Jewell.” The film will be in theaters on December 13, 2019 and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Here’s the Vanity Fair article the blurb mentions.
