 Lindsey & Paris The Media Age Of Celebrity Faux News By James W Smith. It's all over the Internet. It's prominent on the cable news stations. It's become popular on the network news. You can see it in the tabloids in the newsstands. Everywhere you can see the tragic mistakes of the modern celebrity. It's all celebrity bad behavior all the time. The media's sensational stories of celebrities' personal, sad, and tragic problems have created its own industry of faux news.
The sight of Paris Hilton going to jail created a frenzy of news media coverage for two full days. Hilton was the number three story on cable TV. It was the eighth most heavily covered story on network TV news. However, this celebrity faux news did not make the top ten stories covered in American newspapers. There was similar television media coverage after the death of Anna Nicole Smith. For days nearly half of cable news coverage was devoted to her story, making it by far the most heavily covered story for a week on cable.

 Santa Fe Pueblo Style Santa Fe's Pueblo Revival By Jason Couillard Traditional adobe architecture is alive and well in New Mexico, particularly near the state capital, Santa Fe. Here, elegant pueblo-style buildings dominate the skyline in crisp, straight lines and right angles, solid brown exteriors, and flat roofs. It's part of what drives Santa Fe's thriving tourism economy, and part of the reason local real estate is constantly in demand with buyers from all over the nation. Anyone getting involved in the Santa Fe area real estate market should consider brushing up on this popular building form before buying or selling.
Santa Fe's trademark architectural style is called the Pueblo Revival look. While it first appeared in Ventura, California in commercial buildings by A.C. Schwinfurth in the 1890s, Pueblo Revival was popularized soon afterwards in New Mexico, and now appears almost exclusively here. During the early 20th century Pueblo Revival was the logical choice by local governments to promote as a unified building style, and help Santa Fe make a name for itself. |

 George McGovern George McGovern, the Democratic Party's 1972 nominee for president, is calling on Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Dick
Cheney.
And in an editorial in Sunday's Washington Post, McGovern writes the
case for impeaching the current president is "far stronger" than the
case made against former President Richard Nixon — the man
who soundly defeated McGovern in the general election match up.
"Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses,"
McGovern writes. "They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They
have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the
American people time after time.
"Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved
country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world," he
continued. |
