They say all press is good press. It's not true. Sometimes there's bad press.
Rand Paul, for example, is experiencing "bad press." The Kentucky Senate candidate last week told Rachel Maddow, NPR, and local bloggers that he opposed the Civil Rights Act and...

We live in scary times.
Anderson Cooper, CNN Headline News and Dr. Phil all spent this past weekend fretting over a YouTube video of little girls dancing to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" - while showing the tape over and over and over and over again.

But that's exactly what we did last Tuesday at Michael's Restaurant -- New York's "media industry...

Once in a while a great opportunity comes along when you are actually in a place to appreciate it. I'm lucky enough to be in such a place right now. In January, The Independent Film Channel (IFC) asked me to create a TV show that would reveal the true influences...
