🚨 "Two men whom the News Media despises. Both can be arrogant and grateful. Both want loyalty and commitment. I never met Donald Trump, but as a child I didn't live to far from him. His neighborhood was not full of large homes with garden care takers. No limos with waiting drivers. It was a crowed neighborhood with homes on 1/4 acre at best. For obeyance, there were low flying aircraft to and from La Guardia Airport, traffic noise of the Van Wyke Express Way and ambulances rushing to nearby Jamaica Hospital.
Now, to James Dolan. The news media loves to hammer this guy. He was the CEO of Cablevision for whom I worked 23 years for. I had seen and met Jim Dolan. Yes, he could be a challenge, but he did respect his employees. Example: he would send out letters of commendation for job well done, which I received on several projects that I was a part of. I have seen Jim Dolan come to a Cable facility and chase management out of a meeting room, because he wanted to know what the grunts needed and thought on a one-to-one basis. Did he make errors? No one is perfect! But, if you had a serious concern, he would personally resolve it quickly. My crew had a concern about our PTO hrs. We sent him a email on how we were not working an abnormal 40 a week schedule, so our PTO should be adjusted. The next day, we were granted an adjusted PTO to fit our schedule. I know managers who screwed up and at times were let go on the spot. Any employee was welcomed to share ideas and concerns to any supervisor. It was a pleasure to work in such an atmosphere.
Now, back to the Knicks game. As I stated, the Media in NYC area despises Dolan. I understand the Isiah Thomas issue should have been handled a lot better. But Thomas was a loyal, confidant friend of Dolan. At the recent game Knicks vs Spurs, the media flash news was, Trump was Booed! NO! Jim Dolan was booed! What the media failed to report was that then the audience at the game went into a USA USA Chant for Trump.
I was never a champion of the news media. 20 years ago I witnessed an event, in which the local news held a debate which did not go well for their favorite candidate, So, they never broadcasted it and it cost my dear friend an election. I have seen this repeated so many times that it makes me sick. I learned over the years that the News Media Giants can create a great individual that doesn't exist, and it can just as easily destroy an honorable person.
Trump is right. The News Media, not all, but a majority are corrupt and influenced by big money and what sells. If they make an error the American public has a very short memory anyway because of infinite distractions. By the way, the caption on this photo says that Trump was sleeping. Typical dishonest newsprint. The Dolan Family enclosed box seating area is high up so you must look down to see the action on the court!!!"
