Well I think the story stating Feinstein "Introduced legislation" means she was probably "aware" of it.
But then aagain, maybe a staffer wrote, & she just wanted the credit for it...
kinda funny either way.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
Except that none of the parties supposedly implicated by the story were involved with or even likely had knowledge of the event.
Ludicrously naive.
Feinstein's corrupt, big deal. Not news. All Senators are corrupt, it's *literally impossible* to win an election on that scale if you aren't, particularly one that involves high priced media markets like California.
Who cares? This is like being outraged when you find out a 19 year old guy looks at ****. Grow the fuck up, people.

So by that logic, This Obama chap who used to be a senator, he must be the worst of the lot right?

Nope. He must be corrupt, though. I know logic is confusing.

You could have taken it any of the 100 other times I've noted that Obama's corrupt in the last two years and saved time. If you're looking for true-beliverism, you've come to the wrong shop.

And with the way "Agendized" newspapers are faring in the economy, I think people are catching on.

What are some of your examples of agendized and non-agendized newspapers?
Preferrably, list a dozen or so of each, and their financial status.
Meh, not gonna do lists & such.
I also didnt specifically say there were any "Non-agendized" papers. I think most folks who have an informed opinion at all would agree that the Trust in, success,and guaranteed continuation of large metro papers is no longer a given.
This is for many reasons,but the success of Fox news would indicate some market share exists for either : More consevative leaning news -or- "Fair & Balanced" coverage lol.
I would love to see news get back to news....ya know, like headlines that dont
express an opinion on the object of the story.
I get any news I deem important from multiple sources.

The decline of newspapers has very little to do with people getting angry at their opinions and a lot more to do with online availability. Papers are expensive when you can get free online news, especially when the economy is bad. It then becomes a vicious cycle; papers cut articles and opinion pages and fill up more space with ads, but people get sick of wading through ads for a tiny bit of news so fewer buy the papers, which results in more cuts... meanwhile you can find whatever you want online instantly, or just flip on your TV to see up-to-the-moment coverage.
The Wall Street Journal and USA Today remain just fine.
Again, it's very little to do with trust, and a lot more to do with ease of access and price.

Opinion is of course an issue, but the decline in papers all over the country isn't because of anger at the opinions; if it was, people would simply choose a new newspaper, not stop reading all together. It's because you can find whatever news you want for free online, where it is accessed faster, easier, and sooner than in newsprint. While the opinions shown in a newspaper may turn off some people, the speed of presentation and (especially during a bad economy) the price is a huge factor.

Yeah... except no. ALL newspapers, regardless of agendas or opinions or views, are declining. The newspaper we get from Tampa, a highly conservative rag, is going down as well (while the price goes up. Jeez). Newspapers are declining not because they are all in on a liberal conspiracy, but because they're an outdated form of communication. Some segments of society will always love newspapers (Baby Boomers, for example); but as they age, newspapers are unable to appeal to the younger generations and when the older ones stop reading (or die) they lose membership. When they raise prices, people stop buying. Opinions factor in, but not nearly as much as price and ease of communication... which is exactly what I said.
It's like Harley motorcycles. They fail to appeal to newer generations, who would rather get cheaper, better made bikes than buy the Harley brand name. And when prices go up, even fewer people buy.

The only reason that I will go to see that movie is because I feel obligated to do so. I figure that it'll be even less accurate(as far as the trek universe goes) than Enterprise and even less entertaining.
I'll bet anything that after I see it, I'll be saying that Fast And Furious was a better movie(I just saw that this past weekend, it was shockingly watchable, but by no means an amazing, or even a good movie)

Drift,
How can you go wrong with a young captain kirk kicking *** and getting laid by alien chics?
This will be the first movie I will have seen at the theatre in God knows how long; don't jinx it for me. If it's bad I'll get this cajun chic I know to put a vodoo curse on you.
