Bonus/Early Access: Russia Invades Ukraine: Sponsored By Applebee's! (Extra Dose) (Patreon)

Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day! And since March has 5 Tuesdays, that means 5 bonus videos this month instead of the usual 4. So I thought you might not mind if I share one with the rest of the class. I'm making this week's bonus video available to everyone tomorrow, but of course you get it today in early access. This is about as close to discussing the topic of the current conflict in Eastern Europe as I'm going to get, as I think it's important for everyone to know their strengths and weaknesses. The geopolitical landscape of former soviet countries is certainly a weakness of mine... but the topic of media and advertising is a strength. Enjoy!

With any sort of conflict or tragedy around the world comes the inevitable news coverage of said conflict or tragedy. And with that news coverage comes the inevitable advertising. Buckley looks at an unfortunate commercial placement during CNN's coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and wonders if this is the future of cable news, or something out of the playbook of old media?
