'I hate Las Vegas': Green Day canceled on at least 2 radio stations after trash talk
American rock band Green Day has been canceled on at least two radio stations after trash talking the city of Las Vegas during a recent concert. “We don’t take (expletive) from people like (expletive) John Fisher,” band leader Billie Joe Armstrong said on stage Thursday while performing in California's Bay Area, “I hate Las Vegas. It’s the worst (expletive) in America." The comment took place as the punk band performed at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Sept. 20 during its The Saviors Tour. The stadium outing also features fellow ‘90s band the Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and The Linda Lindas. (Cincinnati.com  10/1/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Actor Hugh Grant Settles Privacy Case Against Rupert Murdoch's Tabloid
London: Actor Hugh Grant said Wednesday he had settled a court claim against Rupert Murdoch's British tabloid publisher over allegations of unlawful information gathering, to avoid a legal bill of millions of pounds. While no details of the settlement with News Group Newspapers (NGN) were given, Grant said on social media he had been offered an "enormous sum of money" not to go to court. Despite the settlement, dozens of claimants -- including Prince Harry -- are pursuing NGN over its alleged practices, the High Court in London heard at a hearing Wednesday. (NDTV  4/18/24) READ MORE>>>>>

-“Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.”  ― G.K. Chesterton
​“So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.”― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
“People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. Then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.”   ― Amin Maalouf, The First Century After Beatrice
​“Heartless gossips pose as professional press, they get a few quotes and run with the story like Seabiscuit to the finish line. They’re nothing more than conmen, salesmen, pitchmen, pompous men professing to be of public service—and they have the freedom to do so. There’s no price to pay.”  ― Pamela L Hamilton, Lady Be Good Lib/E: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale
