Or something On tonight's edition of The Wil Wheaton Project (another version of The Soup), we learn that the network formerly known as Sci-Fi now follows TBS in how it treats a particular vulgarity.  Oddly enough (at least to me) , it blurs out the written version while not bleeping the au

Not really related to the subject, but anyway… A few weeks ago, I made a special point of watching Fox News in the morning for more than hour because I wanted to know how it was covering the latest climate change report. The subject didn’t even get a mention even though it was a leading sto

The Herald-Examiner wasn't a bad paper. It was an afternoon paper owned by Hearst. It didn't have the expansive coverage of The Los Angeles Times, whose Sunday edition seemed as thick as a phone book each week, but benefited greatly by comparison with Daily News, owned by Jack Kent Cooke and then b
