Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris in "Training Day" (2001) (Warner Bros. Pictures)
Wednesday - December 07, 2016 Wed - 12/07/16
rantnrave:// Fake news, propaganda, call it what you will, but it's a growing problem that is flooding our social media, sewing distrust of our news agencies and may have even influenced the presidential election. We take a look in our new REDEF MediaSET: "F is for Fake (News)"... NETFLIX popularized binge viewing via streaming. The minutes spent on their service are through the roof. Minutes spent at network groups down. You can now download their shows. Their release schedule has been a relentless attack of good shows and docs. They use data to grow user engagement and thus satisfaction. They have 1,000+ engineers refining their product. How do all these traits compare with a traditional television company that has constituents and deals that keep them from innovating their experience?... Are TV networks shooting themselves in the foot with their efforts to bring production of their shows in-house? Doesn't the widest net give them a better chance for creative success?... Normalization happened already... Start looking at the acorns... Is FRANK CAPRA dead?... The biggest CD release of 2016?... For centuries, the process of selling a good remained functionally unchanged. But new technologies are rapidly transforming the consumer funnel - making it more measurable, more immediate and less costly. No matter how you interact with the ad business, these changes will affect your business, your customers, and your profits. "Light at the End of the Funnel: Why the Marketing Revolution is About to Arrive"... You think you love the MCRIB more than anyone? Think again... Happy Birthday to VATE POWELL, CHRISTOFFER NAESS, PAUL BRADLEY CARR, KYLA BRENNAN, JUSTIN DALY, IRENE VIKSMAN FLORES, LISA PERLMAN and EDWARD HARRISON.

Autocracy: Rules for Survival
by Masha Gessen
Rule #1: Believe the autocrat. He means what he says. Whenever you find yourself thinking, or hear others claiming, that he is exaggerating, that is our innate tendency to reach for a rationalization. This will happen often: humans seem to have evolved to practice denial when confronted publicly with the unacceptable.

When Should You Buy Into A Movie's Hype?
by Walt Hickey
“Arrival” invaded theaters last month. It’s a heady science fiction story about communicating with an alien species whose way of thinking is totally different from our own -- you know, an ideal primer for the holidays. But in an innovative move on the marketing, its perfect score on the website Rotten Tomatoes days before its release was a big part of the sell.
