...polling expert testified in April that Middlesex residents were also 4.5 times more likely to believe Pring-Wilson to be guilty than residents from western Massachusetts. In his ruling, Grabau wrote that although many print, broadcast and online news outlets have covered the case, the coverage “cannot be described as emotionally charged or inflammatory...
...something of a relief in the middle of upfront week. True, the Eye network is not as stodgy as it was when it was best known for shows about 120-year-old former silent-movie actors solving crimes. But it is still the closest thing to an old-fashioned broadcast network we have: family sitcoms, "60 Minutes," sports and police procedurals - old-fashioned, meat-and-potatoes, missionary-position TV.

...gays kissing each other all week. Producers from the big networks will be in Massachusetts to broadcast what are billed as the first legal gay marriages in the U.S. But the stories won't be totally accurate: gay couples have already legally wed in the U.S., here in Oregon. In a little noticed decision last month, overshadowed by the news from Massachusetts (not to mention Iraq), Oregon Circuit Court Judge Frank Bearden ruled for the first time in U.S. history that a state must "accept and register" marriages of same-sex couples. In March and April, Multnomah County issued marriage...
