...Friends with benefits sounds good on paper, but never works in practice. You know what else sounds good on paper? Communism." —Dr. Drew Pinsky, at last week’s Trojan College Media Roundtable, attended by FM crack reporter Lena Chen. Thanks for the civics lesson, Pinsky...
...Cypress's Rodgers, all this talk about purpose higher than profit also seems like a Trojan horse for the eventual piling on of top-down government controls on commerce.

When the first live fight on Spike this season matched a bunch of contenders from the first series in combat, the show outdrew ESPN's NFL preseason and X Games telecasts in the target demographic of men ages 18 to 49. The premiere of this season's reality show drew more than 2 million late-night viewers. The next three episodes logged increases in the number of men watching. "It's the right...
