Throwback: 25 Years of AIM TV – Fighting Nielsen Media
25 YEARS OF AIM TV THROWBACK: Our fight with Nielsen Media Research AIM TV didn’t just survive; it thrived for 25 years by engaging in significant battles.

The Careless, Uninformed, Glib & Damaging Dissemination of Disinformation – Rita C. Article
A Facebook “friend” who claimed to be a journalist wrote an article about the Russian War in Ukraine with so little credibility, journalistic standards, and Russian disinformation that I felt I had to respond to at least some of the disinformation. See Rita’s “article” Rita C. Article (The Yellow Highlights are the excerpts we addressed […]
The Sleazy and Slippery Slope of Appeasement
For the first time since the full invasion, the United States voted against a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine. Marco Rubio, the once proud son of Cuban Immigrants and anti-communist hawk, said, “We didn’t feel it was conducive, frankly, to have something out there at the UN that’s antagonistic to either side.”He defended […]
FCC Chair Brendan Carr is a 13-Year-Old-Boy
The Federal Communications Chair, Brendan Carr, is targeting ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and NPR (notably, Fox, which owns Fox News Channel, is conspicuously absent – Hmmm, I wonder why?).

When Travel Goes Right
WHEN TRAVEL GOES RIGHT— Almost exactly 15 years after a “fake taxi” robbed me of all my camera gear in Buenos Aires, the other evening, I faced another close call when a cyclist tried to steal my iPhone while I was dining outdoors.

The War on Free Speech and Free Press
This is an excellent must-read article from the Unpopulist about Trump’s thus far successful attempts to intimidate the media into doing his bidding.

What transparent bullies these […]
Celebrating 25 Years – Shakira Interview Throwback Time

Raw Travel’s “My Summer in Ukraine” Film is Streaming Now.
Raw Travel’s “My Summer in Ukraine” documentary film premiered to a standing-room-only crowd in New York City last month, a scant one week after the election. I was amazed and grateful at the response of the crowd, especially Ukrainians, who were visibly moved, some to tears. Rather than trot the film out to film festivals […]
Trump Cuts Out the Middleman to Fascism
I used to think that Trump = Putin and Putin = Hitler, but these days, Trump is cutting out the middleman and quoting directly from Hitler. He’s getting unprecedented help from Putin and the ruzzian bot and disinformation army who are uninhibited with their hybrid war with the west. I’ve never seen so many bots […]
Refugees and Exiles Need “A Place to Call Home”
My pal, Dima, lead singer of the Russian band Tarakany (Cockroach), and his wife have been exiled from their home in Russia since December 2021 due to their anti-war, pro-Ukraine stance. It’s a reminder that while some suffer more than others (and none certainly more than Ukrainians), the breadth and width of suffering is immense […]
