Why are so many Asian-American women of a certain age called ‘Connie’? Blame it on Connie Baby aka Connie Chung.

I worked as A news producer for NBC News for about a decade  A  few of those years I had to wake up early for TODAY. The paycheck was good and the working conditions better. I worked wi Jane Pauley, Deborah Norville and last but not least, Connie Baby.

William Donohue is also known as Billiy The Bully and claims the nearly $500,000 raise he received was part of an exit package approved by the board. However, he is still on the job and continues trying to bully the free press and specifically AP, my alma mater.  https://www.eurasiareview.com/20042023-nyc-is-indeed-crime-ridden-oped/

#WeThePeople media has dropped a long way down the rabbit hole from the $64K Question to the $787.5 Million Dollar Answer.
