...gossip persisted and "seemed to be affecting the platoon," Staff Sergeant Eric Dubielak testified. Even Winchell's superiors began piling on. The company's first sergeant said he was going to "get that little faggot" when Winchell showed up for duty one day smelling of alcohol, according to testimony.

Turns out there are still some things you just can't get away with. Conservative cyberjournalist Matt Drudge found that out Thursday when Fox canceled his weekly political gossip show. The problems began when the channel's executives wouldn't allow him to show a photo of a fetus receiving surgery. Drudge says the graphic photo was meant to buttress his pro-life stance, but the channel heads felt it was being used out of context.
