You know who has had a pretty good last couple of days? The “old school”, “fake news”, “mainstream media”. You know, the type of reporting that has come under constant attack for the last few years–and who is always going to be “replaced” by the “new media”.

Moving Forward
The news we all expected came down late Wednesday afternoon (in what we call a classic “news dump”–major news late on a day before a holiday or a weekend that allows it to be nearly forgotten by the time everyone gets back into their normal consumption patterns) that Oshkosh Corporation will buy a portion of…… READ MORE
Fake Motivation
If you watch the Wisconsin-Minnesota football game on Saturday afternoon (as Wisconsin looks to stretch its winning streak against the Golden Gophers to 14 CONSECUTIVE GAMES) you may notice an unusual phrase printed inside the center stripe on the Gophers’ helmets.

Women should feel that they will be believed if they accuse someone of illegal or inappropriate contact before it’s just a couple of…… READ MORE
Why, You’re Still a Child!
It’s amazing the wide range of legal definitions of an “adult” today. Here in Wisconsin, the minute you are born you are considered old enough to hunt with an adult–and carry your own gun. When you are 10 you can start driving ATV’s on public trails. At the age of 12, you can start working at…… READ MORE
FONDY CVB PURCHASE
IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG TO FIND A BUYER FOR THE FOND DU LAC CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU. THE BANK OF OAKFIELD WILL BE PURCHASING THE BUILDING ALONG ROLLING MEADOWS DRIVE. THE C-V-B IS MOVING TO A SMALLER FACILITY NEXT YEAR—AS IT SEES FEWER IN-PERSON VISITORS IN THE TECHNOLOGY AGE. NO NEW LOCATION FOR THE C-V-B…… READ MORE
