#BramsBlog: Can We Rig Something?
So Donald Trump thinks the election is rigged. The “liberal media” is out to ensure that he does not win the White House. That’s an interesting concept based in fictitious logic but OK, let’s explore it anyway since he is as outside the establishment candidate as the electorate has ever considered for the Oval Office.

#BramsBlog: Billy Bush and the Fine Line
11 years ago Billy Bush engaged in a conversation with then reality show star and real estate tycoon Donald Trump.

I purposefully left out adjectives regarding the tenor of the conversation because any adjective would not properly […]
#BramsBlog: Reverence and Devastation – Death in Sports Can Be Both
This past Monday was an unusually sad day in the world of sports, having lost two verifiable stars.

#BramsBlog: Talking Brexit
I’ve been a professional in broadcast journalism for more than two decades and I would not feel comfortable going on air anywhere and discussing the decision by the people of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.
