...signal cultural artifact of the Bush era, so it will need to remodel itself again. A President McCain could actually represent the trickiest shift. No matter how he has repositioned himself since 2000, he's still the Republican who knocked Rumsfeld and criticized 24, on Fox's sibling broadcast network, for glamorizing torture. Worst of all, the "liberal media" like him, which would play havoc with Fox's us-vs.-them, fair-and-balanced formula...
...nearly five decades of reporting, broadcast journalist Bob Dyk covered everything from earthquakes and riots to the death of Winston Churchill and, most notably, the Iran hostage crisis. He started as an editorial assistant for CBS News at the 1960 Democratic Convention, when J.F.K. became the presidential nominee. Later, while working for ABC News, he was the first journalist reporting from Tehran after the U.S. embassy was overrun and 52 Americans were taken hostage in 1979. Nightly broadcasts featuring his reporting on the two-year crisis later became the show Nightline...

Furthermore, MLB is in the middle of a six-year $275 million TV contract with Japan's largest advertising firm, Dentsu. Japan's monolithic broadcaster NHK meanwhile has just has announced plans to continue its heavy coverage of American baseball by airing some 270 MLB contests where Japanese stars are playing. That is more than twice as many NPB games on NHK's schedule. Most of these are live transmissions from the U.S., broadcast...
...speaker has with any company. Every single fully trained doctor I heard speak was getting paid by a company; many of the bigger-name doctors were getting paid by three or four. How much money was still the subject of gossip - the exact amount is not required to be broadcast in these podium confessionals. The DOJ has, however, ordered companies to list the doctors in their employ, as well as the amounts paid them, on their websites. Judging by those figures, it adds up to plenty. And it got our attention at AAOS. Some doctors thought it immoral; others lamented...
