Mitch Perry Report for 4.3.15 — Does the Florida House agree there’s too much ‘damn testing’ going on?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Happy Passover/Good Friday to everyone. I don’t think about it often, but a quasi-holiday like today makes me sympathetic to all those in media land who have to produce a full television or radio broadcast on a day that doesn’t portend to contain a lot of news, at least not domestically. When I was producing an hour-long radio broadcast, this would be a trying time, when you’d load up getting folks who would answer the phone to give commentary on the week’s…

RNC vows unprecedented war-room effort to go after Hillary Clinton

in Top Headlines by

Officials with the Republican National Committee said today they are preparing for a massive campaign to mobilize and activate the GOP base to thwart Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, beginning on the day she officially announces she’s running for president. They claim that the party has never prosecuted a campaign of this magnitude, ever. In an off-the-record conference with party activists and media surrogates, officials said that “everything is focused like a laser” on the probable 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. Recently national polls show her leading Jeb Bush and/or other…

Mitch Perry Report for 4.1.15 — The Tampa Bay Times has had enough with some City Council members

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

The St. Petersburg City Council won’t be voting on that newly revised agreement that Mayor Rick Kriseman worked out with the Tampa Bay Rays last week that seemingly resolved the main conflict in why the Council didn’t approve the deal last December — the redevelopment rights to Tropicana Field. The new deal the mayor negotiated would ensure that all proceeds from those rights would (rightly) go to the city, and not the departing baseball franchise. But that’s not sufficient enough for several…

Mitch Perry Report for 3.30.15 — Mike Pence’s big moment

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Happy Monday to y’all. If you could only watch one public affairs show on Sunday, that show was ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, where two men with possible presidential aspirations gave interesting interviews. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said several times in his live one-on-one that he was grateful to get the opportunity to explain Indiana’s extremely controversial “Religious Freedom Act.” But you have to wonder if he felt that way after the interview ended, since the big news at…

Bill Day’s latest: the ‘Cruzzard’ takes flight

in Top Headlines by

At Virginia’s Liberty University, Ted Cruz made it official. The Texas senator declared his long-awaited White House bid on Monday with a passionate 30-minute speech, calling to “reignite the promise of America.” Cruz, a Tea Party firebrand, became the first in a soon-to-be-very-crowded Republican field with an event at the bastion of Christian conservatism; an irony not lost on either side of the aisle, including editorial cartoonist Bill Day. Cruz’s campaign – most certainly a long shot – seeks to mold…
