PARIS The French branch of the Church of Scientology was convicted of fraud and fined nearly $900,000 on Tuesday by a Paris court. But the judges did not ban the church entirely, as the prosecution had demanded, saying that a change in the law prevented such an action for fraud. The church said it would appeal.
read moreThe New York Times reports that last month, senior White House adviser David Axelrod and Fox News chief executive Roger Ailes met secretly to defuse tensions between the Obama administration and the network. So much for that. There's now open combat between presidential aides and Fox. "We simply decided to stop abiding by the fiction, which is aided and abetted by the mainstream press, that Fox is a traditional news organization," said Dan Pfeiffer, the deputy White House communications director.
Spud feels like celebrating.
Anyone fer some bubbly?

Be Well.
If I was putting news stories on the front page because I'd been paid to link to them, and I didn't tell anybody, would it really not matter at all?
Not sure about anybody else but, personally, Spud would be surprised and very, very disapointed in yas if you did such a thing.
I would hope my editorial independence here has value.
Without that independence there is little to no value.
The Torters here all enjoy the ability to link to wotever story strikes their fancy. Whether it's a well written piece by someone we rarely hear from in the MSM, the latest developement on the many ongoing situations/crises the planet is embroiled in or just some weird-assed odd spot news that's worthy of entertainment value we get to choose that.
Whether people participate or not on those threads is determined by purely democratic means.
They sink or swim on their own merit, their own inherent ability to generate interest.
The original Drudge Report, of course, presents a slate of articles hand picked by Matt himself and their slant bespeaks an agenda that's obvious to the nekkid eye from outer space.
No discussion.
No postings by individual bloggers dissecting and deconstructing the spin as we see here at the Tort everyday.
No underground deals to promote one news service over another.
Face it, The Drudge Retort despite it's occasional wallowing in crassness and grade school insults has a level of intellectual honesty, integrity, independence and yes, class, that the Drudge Report cannot even approach.
We's also more funneh!
Be Well.
the complete assholishness that they exhibit.
Smug righteousness mixed with outright jerkishness.
It's an "Assholier Than Thou" vibe they give off.
Be Well.
