Breaking The Panel

Charles, Paul, and Chris are asking when the blogosphere and our peers owe the readers journalistic integrity and how to be stewards of the consumers’ trust.  From Kevin Smith to Andrew Garfield are stories being fabricated, sensationalized, and misrepresented all for the sake of the coveted clicks?  We discuss the CW app and Supergirl’s lead into the Invasion crossover event.  Is interest waning in the Walking Dead or is there something else to be gleaned from recent viewership trends?  All of that and feedback from you, our wonderful fans!   SMotivation #3: Do the Right Thing https://www.facebook.com/YesThatKevinSmith/videos/10153899559156930/   Andrew Garfield Says Playing Spider-Man Broke His Heart http://comicbook.com/2016/11/29/andrew-garfield-says-playing-spider-man-broke-his-heart/       Hosts: Charles McFall, Paul Klotz, and Chris Wisdom Producer at Large: Mike Woodard Publisher:  Chris Wisdom Breaking the Panel is brought to you by the Giant Size Team Up Network.   Sponsored by Loot C
