☆ Richard Leibner, Agent for Top Broadcast Journalists, Dies at 85
  + stars: | 2024-04-12 | by ( Richard Sandomir | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Richard Leibner, a powerful agent whose firm brokered contracts for many of the biggest names in television news, including Dan Rather, Diane Sawyer, Anderson Cooper, Ed Bradley, Morley Safer and Steve Kroft, died on Tuesday at his home in Manhattan. His son Jonathan said the cause was kidney cancer. Mr. Leibner’s firm, N.S. Bienstock — named for one of its founders, Nathan Bienstock — represented hundreds of anchors, reporters, producers and others in network and local television news. The negotiation that grabbed the biggest headlines was for Mr. Rather, then one of the star correspondents of the CBS News program “60 Minutes.”Between late 1979 and early 1980, Mr. Leibner (pronounced LEEB-ner) parlayed interest in Mr. Rather as the evening anchor from all three network news divisions: ABC News, whose president, Roone Arledge, was trying to raise his third-place division’s profile; NBC News, where the evening anchor John Chancellor was hoping to change to a commentary role; and CBS News, where Walter Cronkite had been the evening anchor since 1962.

☆ What happens if Biden drops out? The chaotic 1968 Democratic convention could be a clue.
  + stars: | 2024-02-21 | by ( Madison Hall | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
If Biden drops from the presidential race, it would likely lead to a contested convention in August. AdvertisementFor years, Democratic President Joe Biden has been plagued with critiques about his old age and perceived cognitive skills. With no candidate having amassed a majority of the nation's delegates, the Democratic presidential nominee was decided at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where anti-war protesters angrily demonstrated outside. AdvertisementMost of the state delegates at the convention voted for Humphrey, leading him to win the Democratic Party's nomination. Unless Biden stuns the party and suddenly drops out, the current 81-year-old president is on a fast track to obtaining the Democratic presidential nomination.

☆ E. Jean Carroll and the Value of a Woman ‘Past Her Prime’ - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-01-29 | by ( Jessica Bennett | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Today she’s typically described as a former advice columnist — but that term doesn’t really do justice to E. Jean Carroll’s career pre-Donald Trump. Long before she was one of the longest-serving advice columnists in America, Ms. Carroll blazed trails as a gonzo-style journalist The Times once called “feminism’s answer to Hunter Thompson.”She profiled Lyle Lovett and went camping with the notorious New York curmudgeon Fran Lebovitz for a cover story in Outside. She wrote a famous piece on Dan Rather for Esquire, appeared in the “Best American Best Crime Writing,” and was the first female contributing editor at Playboy — back when people really did read it for the articles. Today, at best, she’s “former Elle advice columnist” E. Jean Caroll.” At worst, she’s the crazy Trump rape lawsuit lady. Or, as she put it in court recently: “Previously, I was known simply as a journalist, and now I’m known as the liar, the fraud and the wack job.”

REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz/File PhotoNEW YORK, June 5 (Reuters) - With an emphasis on diversity in content and storytellers, New York's Tribeca Film Festival kicks off on Wednesday, with highlights including documentaries about actor Rock Hudson and news anchor Dan Rather. Tribeca Film Festival was co-founded in 2001 by American actor Robert De Niro to help revitalize lower Manhattan following the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. "One of the things about Tribeca is we have such a diverse offering of stories and filmmakers," co-creator Jane Rosenthal told Reuters ahead of the festival launch. "I think a lot of that has always stemmed from Bob (De Niro), always looking for those interesting, interesting untold stories."

☆ The BMW i Vision Dee is a concept car that literally changes color
  + stars: | 2023-01-05 | by ( Peter Valdes-Dapena | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
The two cars, which look basically the same, are both called the i Vision Dee concept. This year, the i Vision Dee changes through a full palette of colors with different parts of the car body showing different colors all at once. One version of the BMW i VIsion Dee is covered in color-changing panels. Courtesy BMWThe other i Vision Dee concept was built to show off new ideas for the “user interface,” which is how drivers and passengers interact with the vehicle. The car also has a head-up display, of course, but, in the i Vision Dee concept, the display stretches across the entire windshield.
☆ Tucker Carlson hosts Tulsi Gabbard after she quits the Democratic Party. Good riddance.
  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( Max Burns | Max Burns Is A Democratic Strategist | Founder Of Third Degree Strategies. Find Him On Twitter | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +7 min
Just three years ago, then-Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard stood on the Democratic presidential debate stage and pitched herself as a leader committed to moving the party forward. That Gabbard is tough to square with the bitter also-ran who told the world on Twitter on Tuesday morning that she was officially leaving the Democratic Party. Gabbard’s minute-long good riddance video might have been a bigger media surprise had she not spent much of the last two years savaging the Democratic Party and drifting relentlessly rightward. Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta was more succinct in his snark, tweeting, “Wait, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat?”Gabbard’s reasons for leaving read like a typical Tucker Carlson monologue. On Wednesday, just a day after announcing her departure from the Democratic Party, Gabbard announced the launch of “The Tulsi Gabbard Show” on Apple Podcasts.

Tim Levin/InsiderThe new HR-V dumps its predecessor's stubby proportions and quirks in favor of a smooth, modern, and ultimately more high-end look. Con: Sluggish on the highwayThe 2023 Honda HR-V. Tim Levin/InsiderTo be sure, nobody is buying a small SUV for its zero-to-60-mph time. Pro: Roomy interiorThe 2023 Honda HR-V. Tim Levin/InsiderThe new HR-V shares a chassis with the Civic sedan rather than the pint-sized Fit hatchback (which has been canceled in the US). Pro: Generous safety features and driver aidsThe 2023 Honda HR-V. Tim Levin/InsiderAll HR-Vs come with ample safety and driver-assistance tech as part of the Honda Sensing suite.
