From The Economist. I might have stayed longer with the sales pitch had there been contentions that it was only in The Economist could I gain the insight edge on X, Y and Z. On my smartphone, the phone number had an international code. So, I answered it, with great hope that I was going to land another global account. Instead it was a sales pitch. And an odd one.

Each drop in revenues is being met, in most cases, with a fresh cull of newsroom staff." Here is the article. For most, alternate revenue-producing strategies have not panned out as expected.

In the current issue, THE ECONOMIST frames Walter White's ambition on "Breaking Bad" as a positive business trait. That's a good goal for businesspeople to have, says THE ECONOMIST. Here you can read that. White, just like Rupert Murdoch, wanted to build an empire. But, White is no Murdoch. He lacks the true empire-building ability of a Murdoch. Part of that is emotional strength and stability. White is breaking down.

The Economist Declares Trump must be stopped
Jane Genova: Speechwriter - Ghostwriter
FEBRUARY 25, 2016
The Economist could be the platform for Michael Bloomberg to launch his run for the U.S. Presidency. In this current issue, the publication declares that Donald Trump must be stopped. It hammers that he is unworthy to lead a great party - that is the GOP. In addition, it assesses that he is equally unworthy to lead America. I have not decided yet if Trump should or should not lead America. But I have determined that the GOP is not a great party. Maybe it was at one time.

The Economist's cover story is Mr. Trump. This development has been so disruptive that most of us roll our eyes when any entity, such as The Economist, begins to pontificate. Of course, the influential publication has a golden gut about what will be clickbait. Already, 927 readers have left comments. But, really this week's analysis has nothing new to add in the way of insight about the Trump phenomenon. Or the implications for the future of political campaigning.

The encouraging news is that The Economist doesn't share the GOP's silly optimism. Again, the media inform us that the GOP has conjured up a stop-Trump strategy. By now that's gone from our being amused at its naïve arrogance to becoming totally bored. With all their wealth and control of institutions such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, it's amazing that this is the best they can try to undo Trump.
