Naked Launch: Fox News Architect Dan Cooper Tells All
Rupert Murdoch hired Roger Ailes to brainwash America into thinking right-wing ideology is actually the political center. And he did. And, I'm ashamed to tell you, I helped him. I made a lot of money that year: 1996. I owned and loved living in an elegant cooperative apartment building on Park Avenue in Manhattan, just a few blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. The hallways were floored with inlaid marble. You placed your garbage in custom designed mahogany chests outside your front door. The doormen called me mister. I was a Democrat. Meaning I was so important to right-wing News Corporation that I was given a piece of what they called "the heavy lifting" on a project of extraordinary importance to Rupert Murdoch — a key role in conceiving and building out the Fox News Channel.
Mystery man comes to rescue of stricken hunter
Very quickly I couldn't get my leg to move at all. It felt numb but hurt like crazy at the same time. Nothing like that had ever happened to me before. Lots of things crossed my mind." He had been treated for an aneurysm and wondered if that might be involved. "I had no idea but whatever it was, it was pretty frightening." Unable to walk, Mr. Capone said he recalled the Marine crawl he learned during his Marine training. Except, with his leg immobile, "that didn't work as I remembered." But he found that lying on his stomach, he could shove the butt of his unloaded shotgun into the ground and drag himself about five feet at a time. "Not really the Marine crawl but it worked." He made slow progress but his good knee soon was rubbed raw and his concerns were mounting.
Gay ship passes on Nassau
Reaction in the Nassau business community was mixed but invariably passionate to news Rosie O'Donnell's "gay cruise" scheduled for July would come to The Bahamas but give the city a miss. "I don't understand the public's opinion about this," said Anthony Darville, with Sunshine Cruises, a tour operation catering to stopover guests. He and other operators stood to make between $30,000 and $50,000 on that ship. On Thursday, an agent for O'Donnell confirmed that the celebrity had chartered the Norwegian Dawn - a 15-deck mega ship with room enough for 2,240 passengers. It is to embark from New York before traveling to Bermuda and onto The Bahamas. Unfortunately for businessmen in New Providence, the last leg of that trip does not include Nassau or Freeport.
Following scandal with Korean professor, University revises degree ...
Updated Friday 10:40 p.m. After disclosing last weekend that the University had mistakenly confirmed to an employer the authenticity of a doctorate degree fabricated by a Korean art history professor, Yale officials said they have changed their procedure for verifying graduate degrees — and will not be fooled again. University officials will no longer confirm or deny whether a person holds a degree from Yale based on any external documents they are presented, Associate Director of Public Affairs Gila Reinstein told the News today. Instead, she said, the administrators will rely solely on their own records to verify that a supposed alumnus did indeed graduate from Yale. This decision follows a saga — now referred to as “Shin-gate" in Korea — that has unfolded over the past several months regarding Shin Jeong-ah, a professor at Dongguk University in South Korea, who was arrested in October for allegedly manufacturing a doctorate degree from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
