Fox Business Network’s Kennedy spoke with New York Observer, discussing laws that need to be changed, leaving the Republican party and even her thoughts on Jeb Bush‘s Common Core.
“Common Core is such a deal breaker for me. It makes your kid sad, it makes it so much longer to do math, and math should be exciting, fun and beautiful. And I learned that from my very favorite math teachers in college. And he was absolutely right. And it turned out to be one of my favorite subjects because math never lies to you. It is never subjective.”
Jane Spencer, Fusion’s editor of digital, spoke with the Daily Intelligencer about the network’s Miami headquarters, targeting millennials and the influence that ABC and Univision have over editorial content.
“They’re very supportive in terms of helping us distribute our content, but they’re not involved in daily editorial operations. In Miami, we share a newsroom with Univision, so we’ve had some very productive collaborations on reporting in Latin America by partnering with Univision. But there’s no daily input in our stories.”
Janet Mock hosts “So Popular!” on shift by MSNBC and is profiled in Bitch Magazine, discussing the pop culture moments that shaped her life.
“The 1990’s in general were like a pop culture renaissance for black people. In television, we had shows like “Martin,” “Family Matters,” and “Living Single.” There was also the pop boom and like everyone else, I watched MTV’s “TRL” to hear about what was happening and what everyone was talking about. Seeing Destiny’s Child was a pivotal moment for me.”
