Oh bullshit. So long as you don't preface the word with "yellow" there is plenty of ethics in journalism. The issue is that there's very little in the news business - or more accurately, "the business of news." In the vast majority of cases, reporters receive their assignments from editors who receive "guidance" from their editors who, in turn, receive their marching orders from company/corporate owners (who in turn receive them from stockholders). Now I think it can be argued that there's a difference between "journalists" and "reporters" but that argument goes both ways: In effect all journalists should be "reporters" in that they report whatever has/is occurred/occurring. On the flip side both journalists and reporters want one thing: The big story, either for lofty ideals or to get promoted to a higher-ranking position.

Wait. We are talking about Net Neutrality, right?

The game play trailer looks like there's third-person perspective, too? Which would be great for those of us who puke when playing FPSs

Concur with the number of folks in my circles that actively use it being quite low, but I find the niche groups to be quite useful, as well as the pick-up RPG sessions via Hangout.

Is there a citation?

the rebuttals themselves tend to violate the rules of logic and consistency

How dare Vanity Fair steal Slashdot's business model!

Expensive weddings can also mean large bank accounts. Large bank accounts can mean expensive alimony. Expensive alimony can mean no desire to get a divorce. No divorce means long marriage (albeit most likely an unhappy one).

Meanwhile at the Hall of Justice ...

I always felt bad for the TIE pilots. I mean, there they were, minding their own business, and the Falcon comes by and shoots them first. At least, that's how I remember it.

Unfortunately, I am. For example, I can't play a FPS for more than a minute or so - regardless of distance from the TV, lighting, etc. (I've tried all of the recommended things). The worst part is when it hits it lasts for hours.
