Welcome To Tony Palmeri's Media Rants! I am a professor of Communication Studies at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I use this blog to try to promote critical thinking about mainstream media, establishment politics, and popular culture.

Doyle Should Boycott Mayor's Breakfast
Gannett reports that Governor Jim Doyle will attend the Oshkosh Mayor's Breakfast on Friday. This is the event at which CESSNA CEO Jack Pelton, recipient of two "degrees" from a diploma mill, will receive the Key to the City. It demeans the office of the governor to endorse an event that turns a blind eye to the kind of behavior that has led to the resignation of at least one other CEO (David Edmondson resigned as CEO of Radio Shack after it was revealed that he lied on his resume--but at least he, unlike Pelton, offered a public apology for his actions.).
I teach Communication Studies (First Amendment, Classical Rhetoric, Civic Engagement, Rhetoric of Rock Music) at UW Oshkosh. Served two terms on Oshkosh City Council. Originally from Brooklyn, NY.
