...looser media-ownership rules would have on consolidation and competition. Instead, the Democrats spent an hour venting about Murdoch's enormously successful Fox News Channel. They complained that the cable network, whose slogan is "fair and balanced," shuts out and even mocks anything but right-wing views. California's Barbara Boxer told Murdoch his network's only balance is between the right and the far right, and suggested a new tag line: "Fox News: the right slant...
Over the next three hours, "Barbara," minus her burqa, dispensed lists of comparisons between Jesus and Muhammad ("Jesus arose from the dead and is alive.

In Truth or Dare she brings similar realism and sympathy to the tale of a coed group of six twentysomething Hong Kong roommates. They are caricatures who nonetheless ring true: the wild girl (Candy Lo), the dreamy girl (the dreamy Karena Lam), the dork (Roy Chow) who loves the dreamy girl. Too broke to go out, they stay...
