PHILADELPHIA — The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History was vandalized on Monday morning. The museum is on Independence Mall in Philadelphia. At a time when anti-Semitism is a growing concern, WCAU reported the story hours later with video calling the place a Holocaust museum. On air, a reporter fronted the story in the newsroom’s Live Center, an area apparently named to promote a…

The question is absolutely appropriate. Ask the folks at the Associated Press what happened for refusing to use the name Gulf of America in every instance without qualification. ’Tis the season, but no storms predicted in the Gulf of America in the next 7 days. (National Hurricane Center) President Donald Trump is suing Paramount/CBS for $20 billion, claiming the news program somehow defamed…

It seems every day in the news, I read about another powerful man resigning, taking time off from a high-profile job, or under police investigation for inappropriate sexual conduct. The stories just keep coming, or the allegations against the men simply increase. CNN offered a list of recent cases more than a week ago, on Nov. 1. Spacey, via Clip Art In the news these days are Kevin Spacey,…

I feel so lost in a way I never felt before. If there was anyone central to the family, my mom was it. I counted on her to find out about everyone, and getting her opinion most of the time, like while writing this, going over details. And she would go all out when she felt something was important, like Friday night dinners, visiting my grandparents, being president of Sisterhood, volunteering…

I’ve been lucky. It sure doesn’t feel that way now, but this is something other people had to do well before they were my age. Like my father did. My father was special. Sure, almost anyone else could say that but I go way back to around the time he became a father. It was shortly after he became a husband. The joke was always that he married my mom three months after they met, and I was born…

That’s the question I saw on LinkedIn. According to the news anchor in Colorado who asked, “Whomever figures out a successful business model for it will make themselves, and Netflix (and other streaming services) a lot of money, along with, hopefully, higher wages for journalists.” Sounds like a win-win! But sadly, I couldn’t figure out a successful business model. I hope you can. Check out…

The news hasn’t stopped in he past 24 hours, at least on issues that interest me. This is what I want to know. Deep thought #1: Wouldn’t Paramount/CBS be worth much less if the network’s journalistic integrity and credibility are sacrificed? One would think. So wouldn’t the sales price go down somewhat from $8 billion if that’s the case? Paramount would reportedly have to pay a $400 million…

I’m back after a month with a more personal type of story. That’s what CohenConnect.com will be again, along with some opinion.  The news moved to FloridaFreaks.com, where I’ve been adding older articles that were never on this site. I hope to write new stories there again next week. Physical moving – as opposed to the kind involving stories and websites – has been too big a part of my adult…
