I like Gannett, I like local newspapers and journalism and all that good stuff. I know those guys, and Tim Armstrong is one of my investors. Having said all of that — and by the way, I haven’t spoken to anybody regarding any of it — this never made any sense.Galloway: TELCO’s adventures in media just haven’t worked. Verticalization is really powerful.
Galloway: I like the CMO of Verizon. I’ve known him for a while. And he asked me to speak at one of their big town halls with all the marketers. They did one of these pre-calls, where they see just how fucking crazy I’m going to be and if they should cancel.
