Facebook Meeting – Dana Perino and Glenn Beck Swoon Over Discussions…

Well, it appears the reports from the Facebook PR control meeting with “conservative” punditry delivered the predictable outcomes.  The essential issue with the nonsensical meeting was abundantly evident before the thing even began.
Facebook called the meeting because they viewed the insider releases as a PR crisis, not as an opportunity to admit their deception and provide an explanation as to how they were going to improve.

As a consequence the entire meeting premise was targeted to give the appearance of concern, while their internal goals were PR optics only.  Obviously, almost all the attendees did not, or could not, see their roles as useful tools. (more…)

Ratings Flop – Megyn Kelly Broadcast Show, Trump Interview, Few Viewers and Last Place…

Apparently the broadcast premier of Megyn Kelly, containing the interview with Donald Trump, was a major flop gathering only 4.7 Million viewers and coming in last place amid 8:00pm broadcast TV watchers.  –Article Here–
megyn Kelly bookThis is probably no surprise to those who have followed the slow downward spiral of Fox News, and specifically Megyn Kelly, since the news executives made the business decision to oppose candidate Donald Trump.
It was not an altruistic endeavor when Megyn Kelly walked into Trump Tower last month and requested the interview.
