Info & News On Dallas Escorts.

BernieG Regards the death race to the lowest common denominator bottom of the barrel in terms of content: the number of Americans watching TV has been steadily dropping due to audience fragmentation, for instance as of last quarter 2.5 million fewer people were watching ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox then in the previous year. As a result the networks have been desperately scrambling to come up with any way to hold onto an audience, more importantly onto the advertising revenue that sustains their companies. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALe…
“The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.” Hunter S. Thompson, bylined column in the San Francisco Examiner, November 4, 1985.

The pitbull wearing lipstick takes on the talk show queen
“You’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting and she’s finally here!”
Thus Oprah Winfrey introduced her interview with the polarizing phenom from Wasilla, Alaska. Palin, who spent her time since she inexplicably resigned as governor of Alaska posting Facebook missives and working on her memoir, is now on a media blitz, pimping said memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life.
Where was the Palin that was so starkly polarizing, the one that is, for some, the future of the Republican Party and for others, a walking joke?
The title of the book gave a hint to what Palin loves talking about the most: those people who would hold her and her all-American normalcy back. The phrase “going rogue” is a reference to a disgruntled McCain staffer’s worries that Palin, in the waning weeks of the campaign, was making too many of her own decisions and ignoring the campaign staff’s advice.

… Oprah is in a class of her own, and [morning shows] don’t mind following in her footsteps.”
Grace McQuade, executive VP at Goldberg McDuffie Communications, a firm that specializes in book publicity, concurs. “Every show wants to get the first interview but they can’t,” she says.
“When it’s a book in the news or an author who is a newsmaker herself or himself, usually they’re willing to follow and do the interview [anyway].”
To combat the problem of overexposure — and hearing the same, rehearsed talking points over and over again — show producers will “watch the other interviews and come up with their own way of doing the interview, [ask] fresh questions and put their own spin on it,” McQuade says.
Ultimately, there’s no such thing as oversaturation when it comes to celebrities pimping their products.

It also says that Palin’s speech stood out to many because she used more informal words, like ‘‘darn” and ‘‘heck,” than most politicians.
British scientist says she penned call-girl blog
LONDON (AP) – A British scientist says she is Belle de Jour, the anonymous blogger whose accounts of life as a call girl were turned into books and a TV series.
Brooke Magnanti was quoted by the Sunday Times as saying she decided to reveal her secret because she was afraid an ex-boyfriend would expose her.
Magnanti, 34, is a child health researcher at the University of Bristol in western England. She told the newspaper she turned to the sex trade in 2003 while finishing her Ph.D. and worked as an escort for more than a year.
She blogged about the experience in the guise of Belle de Jour, a legal secretary who moonlights as a sex worker.

… The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now,” she continued. “If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention – even if out of context.”
Wait … what? Sexist?
Please, Sarah.  Learn to pick your battles, girlfriend.
And while we hate siding with Newsweek over anybody with stems like Palin’s, the fact is that this picture was already published months earlier … and Palin had no problem whatsoever with it.
Sure, the argument is that such a laid back picture doesn’t fit the image she wants projected on a “news” magazine cover, but again – who cares?
For her to file such a “context” complaint now is ridiculous, and ironically makes us take her less seriously (no matter what she’s wearing).
Besides, when Palin runs around in smokin’ hot stripper boots and naughty monkey pumps, how exactly is she telling us that she wants to be perceived?

Lopez Mercado, 19, was found Nov. 14 along the side of a road in Cayey, Puerto Rico, just a few miles away from Caguas where he lived. He had been stabbed repeatedly, burned and decapitated, and his arms and legs had been cut off.
Police there have arrested 26-year-old Juan A. Martinez Matos and are investigating whether Mercado’s murder was a hate crime. Reports are that Martinez Matos has confessed to the crime and that a knife believed to have been used in the murder was found in a septic tank at his home. The suspect also reportedly told police he had been looking for a prostitute when he found Lopez Mercado, dressed in women’s clothing, and believed him to be female. He took the victim back to his home and killed him after discovering that Lopez Mercado was male.

Rounding out the op-ed page, Times columnist Tim Rutten urges the University of California Board of Regents to approve a proposed partnership with the county Board of Supervisors to reopen and jointly oversee Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital.
On the other side of the Opinion divide, the Times editorial board gives Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown a dash of sympathy being “trapped in a political cage from which there will be no easy escape.” The cause? His office just gave a pass to Brown’s former communications director for surreptitiously recording interviews with reporters, and now liberals are pushing him to investigate a pair of independent filmmakers who surreptitiously recorded ACORN employees in California advising them how to set up a prostitution ring (or, in the case of ACORN’s Felix Harris in Los Angeles, refusing to help after learning the prostitutes would be minors).
