hits Obama on independent ads." ... "[2008 Election
Democratic Presidential Candidate] John Edwards said Friday that [2008
Election Democratic Presidential Candidate] Barack Obama needs to “speak
up, if he really means what he says” about ending divisive politics and
denounce a Nevada ad funded by an independent group that supports the Illinois
senator’s presidential bid." ... ""Everyone pledged that this kind of divisive
politics that divides the Democratic Party, and could divide America, would
come to an end. [Senator] Sen. Obama made that pledge, I was sitting five
feet from him when he made it," Edwards told the crowd at a Nevada campaign
event." ... "“And now it turns out that in the last 24 hours there's a
radio ad, a malicious radio ad, attacking [Senator] Sen. Clinton. That
is exactly the kind of divisive politics. It's being run right here, in
Las Vegas [Nevada]. I denounce it. This kind of ad, I don't care who's
doing it — in this case it's [Senator] Sen. Obama's supporters — but this
sort of thing needs to stop.["]" ... "“And from what I've seen, [Senator]
Sen. Obama has not said a single word about this. Nothing. When two days
ago, three days ago, he said on a stage in front of America and said, 'This
kind of politics has no place in America,’” said Edwards." ... "“He should
speak up, if he really means what he says, and this is not just talk, he
should speak up and denounce this type of divisive politics.”" ... "John
Edwards was criticized by Obama in Iowa for not calling an independent
group that supported the former North Carolina senator to demand they pull
ads they were running in support of his candidacy." -By

Edwards campaigns blast radio ads backing Obama."
... "The campaigns of [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidates]
Hillary Clinton and John Edwards took aim at [2008 Election Democratic
Presidential Candidate] Barack Obama Thursday over radio ads in Nevada
funded by a third-party group that is backing his candidacy." ... "The
buy is allegedly being funded by the Unite Here Campaign Committee on behalf
of the Culinary Workers Union, which has endorsed Obama." ... "On a conference
call with reporters late this afternoon, Hispanic supporters of Clinton’s
presidential candidacy criticized the union for incorrectly implying that
“Si Se Puede” – a slogan associated with the late activist Cesar Chavez
– was also the Obama campaign’s official slogan." ... "John Edwards was
criticized by Obama in Iowa for not calling an independent group that supported
the former North Carolina senator to demand they pull ads they were running
in support of his candidacy. “When Sen. Obama says ‘turn the page,’ he
obviously means turn to whatever page is most convenient. He loudly and
repeatedly attacked independent ads by unions in Iowa as the product of
special interests,” said Edwards Deputy Campaign Manager Jonathan Prince."
... "“But when a different outside group starts running ads on his behalf
in Nevada, there's not a peep from him or his campaign. It must be because
he's burning up the phone lines calling the head of Unite Here personally
to demand he pulls the ads down right away.”" -By

Voices on Recording May Not Have Been From Iranian Speedboats:
Chilling Threat Could Have Come From the Shore or Another Ship, Navy Says."
... "Just two days after the U.S. [United States] Navy released the eerie
video of Iranian speedboats swarming around American warships, which featured
a chilling threat in English, the Navy is saying that the voice on the
tape could have come from the shore or from another ship." ... "The near-clash
occurred over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz. On the U.S.-released
recording, a voice can be heard saying to the Americans, "I am coming to
you. You will explode after a few minutes."" ... "The Navy never said specifically
where the voices came from, but many were left with the impression they
had come from the speedboats because of the way the Navy footage was edited."
... "The Iranians have denied using the threatening language and are saying
U.S.-released video is fabricated." (1, 2)

- "Declassified
study puts Vietnam events in new light: US [United
States] signals intelligence [SIGINT] during the war came up short in major
turning points, according to an NSA [National Security Agency] history."
... "US signals intelligence – the much-vaunted ability of American military
and spy units to eavesdrop on the radio calls and other electronic communications
of an adversary – failed at crucial moments during the Vietnam War, according
to a just-declassified National Security Agency history of the effort."
... "The 10,000 cryptographers and other signals personnel in Southeast
Asia at the time did not predict the start of the Tet offensive on Jan.
31, 1968. Prior to that, signals intelligence may have actually misled
[Democratic] President Johnson and other top policymakers about the nature
of the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which a supposed North Vietnamese
attack on US forces triggered a major escalation in the war." ... "US eavesdroppers
had many successes during the war, according to the lengthy document, particularly
in picking up the tactical communications of North Vietnamese and Viet
Cong fighters in the field." ... "But when it comes to major events, signals
intelligence is not magic, as the history makes clear. That is a point
current policymakers would do well to remember as they struggle to interpret
intelligence dealing with the complex modern problems of nuclear proliferation
and Islamist extremism." ... "In both the Tet and Gulf of Tonkin cases,
"critical information was mishandled, misinterpreted, lost, or ignored,"
writes NSA historian Robert Hanyok in the agency history. " -By

- "Plan
Would Ease Limits on Media Owners." ... "The head
of the Federal Communications Commission has circulated an ambitious plan
to relax the decades-old media ownership rules, including repealing a rule
that forbids a company to own both a newspaper and a television or radio
station in the same city." ... "[Republican] Kevin J. Martin, chairman
of the commission, wants to repeal the rule in the next two months — a
plan that, if successful, would be a big victory for some executives of
media conglomerates." ... "Among them are Samuel Zell, the Chicago [Illinois]
investor who is seeking to complete a buyout of the Tribune Company, and
Rupert Murdoch, who has lobbied against the rule for years so that he can
continue controlling both The New York Post and a Fox television station
in New York." ... "The proposal appears to have the support of a majority
of the five commission members, agency officials said, although it is not
clear that Mr. Martin would proceed with a sweeping deregulatory approach
on a vote of 3 to 2 — something his predecessor tried without success.In
interviews on Wednesday, the agency’s two Democratic members raised questions
about Mr. Martin’s approach." (1, 2)

- "McConnell
knew of e-mails about boy: TV interview included denial."
... "Senate Minority Leader [Kentucky Republican Senator] Mitch McConnell
knew last week --at a time when he was denying it -- that his staff had
sent e-mails encouraging reporters to look into the background of a 12-year-old
boy used by Democrats to support expansion of a health-care program." ...
"In an interview Friday with WHAS-TV reporter Mark Hebert, the Kentucky
Republican said his staff had not been involved in trying to push reporters
to look into the financial situation of the boy's family." ... "But McConnell's
communications director, Don Stewart, said in an interview Monday with
The Courier-Journal that he had told McConnell about the Oct. 8 e-mails
sometime around Thursday, the day before the interview with Hebert." ...
""The initial e-mails sent by Stewart were aimed at alerting reporters
that bloggers were raising questions about the boy, Graeme Frost of Baltimore
[Maryland], and his family's financial circumstances. He backed off that
claim in his subsequent e-mails, he said, based on a report from a blogger
whom he respected." ... "Stewart said he informed McConnell of his personal
role in the matter around Thursday." ... "The next day, Friday, Hebert
asked McConnell about the e-mails. The exchange was broadcast Sunday night
and again last evening." ... "Hebert asked the senator whether his office
was attempting to get reporters to look into Frost's background." ... ""No,"
McConnell answered." ... "The senator was then asked, "What was the deal
with the e-mail from your staffer?"" ... "McConnell replied: "There was
no involvement whatsoever."" ... "The boy and his family's circumstances
became an issue after he was recruited by the Democrats to respond to [Republican]
President Bush's Sept. 29 radio address regarding the expanded health program,
which Bush vetoed Oct. 3." ... "Graeme and his sister, Gemma, suffered

knew school shooter was white because "[b]lack shooters don't" shoot themselves;
"they shoot and move on"." ... "On the October 10
broadcast of his nationally syndicated Fox News Radio show, while discussing
14-year-old Asa
H. Coon, who earlier that day shot four people at his Cleveland high
school before killing himself, Fox News host [Republican] John
Gibson asserted that "because the school is very heavily African-American,
I did leap to a conclusion" that "the shooter might have been African-American."
Gibson went on to say that he "knew this was not a classic hip-hop shooting"
once he learned Coon killed himself. Gibson continued: "Hip-hoppers do
not kill themselves. They walk away. Now, I didn't need to hear the kid
was white with blond hair. Once he'd shot himself in the head, no hip-hopper."
Gibson later stated, "I know the shooter was white. I knew it as soon as
he shot himself. Hip-hoppers don't do that. They shoot and move on to shoot
again." Gibson added: "I know there's a few of you who want to call me
racist. But when you do, remind -- let me remind you, African-Americans
are dying in major cities because people won't face this problem."" ...
"After a commercial break, Gibson repeated his assertion: "All right, it
turns out, though, the kid in Cleveland who did the shooting today -- three
teachers, three students -- white." Gibson added: "And I could tell right
away 'cause he killed himself. Black shooters don't do that; they shoot
and move on."" -MediaMatters.org

"PEJ
Study: War Coverage Down, Campaign Reporting Up."
... "Coverage of events related to the Iraq War decreased during the second
quarter of 2007, but remained the top news issue, according to the Project
for Excellence in Journalism, which noted 15% of stories across print,
broadcast and online dealt with Iraq-related issues." ... "That is down
from 22% during the first quarter of the year. As in the first quarter,
the Fox News Channel devoted roughly half as much coverage to the war (8%)
than its rivals, CNN (18%) and MSNBC (15%)." ... "The PEJ study focused
on 48 different outlets from five sectors of the media -- newspapers, broadcast
television, radio, online, and cable." -By Joe Strupp

Election - "Giuliani's
Fox-y pal cash flap." ... "It's no secret that Sean
Hannity, the conservative Fox News commentator, has helped to raise [2008
election Republican Presidential Candidate] Rudy Giuliani's profile - but
now he's helped the former mayor [New York City, New York] raise money,
too." ... "In a little noticed event this month, Hannity - co-host of Fox
News' "Hannity & Colmes" and host of a popular WABC radio show - introduced
the Republican front-runner at a closed-door, $250-per-head fund-raiser
Aug. 9 in Cincinnati [Ohio], campaign officials acknowledge." ... "In so
doing, some believe that Hannity - while clearly a commentator paid to
express his opinions -crossed the line from punditry into financial rainmaking
for a presidential candidate whose bottom line is now better for it." ...
""Fox's in-kind contribution to Republican politicians in the form of softball
coverage is one thing," said Steve Rendall, senior analyst at Fairness
and Accuracy in Reporting, a left-leaning media watchdog group. "But this
is the first time they have crossed this line into fund-raising."" ...
"More independent observers said Hannity's appearance underscored the blurring
lines between news and advocacy and could be interpreted as a kind of endorsement."
... "The Hotline, a political journal, has noted that through July 15,
Giuliani had enjoyed 115 minutes of free face time on Fox - more than half
of that on "Hannity & Colmes." His airtime on Fox was 25% higher than
any other Republican candidate, data show." -By David

- "Don
Imus Sued by Rutgers Basketball Player." ... "Don
Imus is facing his first lawsuit from a player on the Rutgers Women's Basketball
team for derogatory comments that cost him his job as a radio host in April,
ABC News has learned." ... "Of the networks that aired "Imus in the Morning,"
the lawsuit alleges that they "wrongfully, intentionally, willfully ...
created, tolerated and maintained an atmosphere in which the making of
outrageous statements and comments was acceptable, encouraged, and/or rewarded
for many years prior to this occurrence and/or overtly encouraged the statements
made."" ... "The lawsuit alleges that use of the slanderous terms was intentional
and motivated by greed and financial gain: In using insults against otherwise
innocent people, Imus would get higher ratings, making more money for him
and his employers. Among other infractions, the suit alleges that Imus
violated the players' civil rights." ... "Earlier today, The Associated
Press reported that Imus had reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with
former employer CBS over his firing. ABC News has learned that Imus could
be back to broadcasting as early as January, and is being courted by major
media outlets. That settlement, said [attorney Richard] Ancowitz, rewards
Imus while leaving little justice for the women of the Rutgers basketball
team." (1, 2)

Rules Allow One Bidder To Buy More Than Half of Spectrum."
... "A single company could bid for more than half the lucrative spectrum
to be auctioned off by the Federal Communications Commission after the
final rules for the sale failed to include a provision prohibiting this
from occurring." ... "There had been pressure on FCC policymakers to include
such a rule to ensure that an incumbent wireless carrier such as Verizon
Wireless or AT&T Inc. wouldn't be able to take the lion's share of
the spectrum being sold." ... "Potential new entrants to the market, such
as Google Inc., as well as a handful of public interest groups had been
pushing the FCC to include the rule." ... "Two sections make up 32 megahertz
of the 62 megahertz of prized airwaves being sold off. They include one
22-megahertz swath with so-called open-access requirements attached --
which is actually six separate pieces that can be added together, and another
10-megahertz chunk that will be used to provide wireless broadband service
to the emergency services community, with any spare capacity able to be
used for commercial purposes." ... "The remaining 30 megahertz has been
broken up into several hundred licenses." -By Corey

- "Microchips
in humans: High-tech helpers or Big Brother surveillance?"
... "City Watcher.com, a provider of surveillance equipment, attracted
little notice itself -- until a year ago, when two of its employees had
glass-encapsulated microchips with miniature antennas embedded in their
forearms." ... "The "chipping" of two workers with RFIDs -- radio frequency
identification tags as long as two grains of rice, as thick as a toothpick
-- was merely a way of restricting access to vaults that held sensitive
data and images for police departments, a layer of security beyond key
cards and clearance codes, the company said." ... "But the news that Americans
had, for the first time, been injected with electronic identifiers to perform
their jobs fired up a debate over the proliferation of ever-more-precise
tracking technologies and their ability to erode privacy in the digital
age." ... "Thirty years ago, the first electronic tags were fixed to the
ears of cattle, to permit ranchers to track a herd's reproductive and eating
habits. In the 1990s, millions of chips were implanted in livestock, fish,
pets, even racehorses." ... "Microchips are now fixed to car windshields
as toll-paying devices, on "contactless" payment cards (Chase's "Blink,"
or MasterCard's "PayPass"). They're embedded in Michelin tires, library
books, passports and, unbeknownst to many consumers, on a host of individual
items at Wal-Mart and Best Buy." ... ""We're really on the verge of creating
a surveillance society in America, where every movement, every action --
some would even claim, our very thoughts -- will be tracked, monitored,
recorded and correlated," says Barry Steinhardt, director of the Technology
and Liberty Program at the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington
D.C." -AP
