Who owns mainstream news stations like CNN, and Fox News?

The phenomenon is called media consolidation and it is a serious concern over the past few decades as many local publishers and papers are being bought out, cannibalized, or pushed out of business.Here are the owners of the main stations in order of size. Through the links you’ll find the asset pages which show other properties and brands they own.Largest –– NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and Telemundo are under NBC Universal and owned by Comcast, America’s most hated company.ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Corporation.

Who unvented the television show sesame street?

If you mean invented it was Joan Ganz Cooney and Jim Henson.

Why did the creators of Sesame St. pick that name for the show? Is it a real street somewhere?

Like many new shows, they had a long list of possible names for it, including "The Video Classroom" and "The Nitty Gritty Itty Bitty Kiddy Show". They then sat a bunch of children in front of a test show and asked them which name they thought was best. The kids chose "Sesame Street" (a name based on the magic phrase 'open sesame' from Arabian Nights), even though most of the adults weren't that keen on that particular name. For a while there was a sort of desperate open call for anyone with a better name for it to PLEASE submit it, but nobody came up with one. So the name stuck.

How should I deal with people who take me for granted?

Assess then actAssess.Which people? How important are they to you? For example the USA has roughly 325 million people. Of those 324.99 million will never know me and it will make absolutely no difference to my life.What do I need from these people? In general, I would be perfectly happy if most of my corporate leaders (especially on the finance or operations sides) thought of me less often. When I need something from a Dean-Advising, a Dean-Faculty, or the Registrar’s office, I would like them to think of me with a mixture of fear and love; so I can get what I need for my students.ActEnsure that impressions are positive. A few weeks ago, I made it to work (early) and ran into the company CEO. In corporate America, anything can happen.Ensure your work is up to snuff. My numbers as an administrator are pretty good and doing better. This fact is literally more useful than any image puffery than I could concoct.Develop a persona that you can live with. I will never be a perfect apparatchik. I am a history professor who is helping with admin for a few years. Try to develop a simple clear persona that actually fits with your personality.Try to be consistent. As a the 50-somehting history professor, I hit the dance floor for two dances at the Christmas Party. I have 2–3 drinks to show I am a good sport. I do not however tear loose and act like a party animal. While I have helped with corporate pitches, I cannot come across as corporate. Develop a brand and stick to it.Do favors for friends and encourage them to talk you up. Allies are usually helpful Powerful allies are even more helpful.(Carefully) talk up your own case. Do NOT brag at every turn. Develop expertise, however, and use it. Be the expert in your niche. Speak up when you are the expert or have important practical experience. Do not be afraid to mention your previous achievements as bona fides. Use these to show you know what you are saying.Thanks for the A2A, Naveed.

Blonde Jokes Anyone?

There was a blond in a rowboat in the middle of a corn field. Another blonde drove up alongside the hiway and asked "what in the world do you think u are doing?" the other blonde said "im trying to get my boat out of here but it is really hard!" The other blonde looks discusted and says "You know what it is dumb blondes like you that make smart blondes like me look bad. And if i could swim i would come out there and kick your butt."

So this blonde goes into a curtain shop and askes the clerk if he has any flower curtains. He says yes and takes her back. When she pickes out a nice pink floral pattern he askes her how much fabric she wants. She said "12 inches by 12 inches." He says "Wow miss are you sure? that seems too small for a window" She said " Im using it for my computer!" He said "Why in the world would you use a curtain for a computer?" She says "Duh.... I have Windows!!!

Just thought these were funny. Tell me what u think.
