Proof that propoganda is not just limited to cable news, is the 25 page mega farce in Tuesday's New York Times and I'm sure other major dailies, titled "an upfront like no other" (they're right about that) - "this year's TV selling season opens in an uncertain advertising environment (no shit, Sherlock), yet all three sectors in the industry - broadcast, cable and syndication - look surprising strong." (huh? whatever ganja the editors of this "special advertising supplement" are smoking, I'd like a whiff ASAP!
I honestly couldn't continue reading past page 2 or 3...and I can only hope marketers and their agency partners had the sense to bale out of this classic desperation marketing attempt.
As a tribute to an upfront like no other, I'd like to put forward a slightly different perspective.Encounter 14: The upfront - an event that makes no sense and yet each year pulls off one of the greatest illusions in town.
