ALAN WALKER - FADED Meat processor Beef Products Inc. filed suit in 2012 charging that ABC's coverage GET A FREE SONG of its product -- officially called "finely textured beef" -- misled consumers into thinking it wasn't safe to eat. After the reports aired, some grocery chains said they would no longer carry ground beef containing what ABC dubbed "pink slime." As a result, sales plummeted from about 5 million pounds per week to less than 2 million pounds. The South Dakota-based company, whose product was used in about 70 percent of the nation's ground beef, had originally sought as much as $1.9 billion in damages, an amount that could have been tripled to $5.7 billion under South Dakota's Agricultural Food Product Disparagement Act, which the company alleged ABC had violated. Executives from the Burbank, Calif.-based media conglomerate, whose properties include ESPN and Walt Disney World resorts, settled the case with BPI in June. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/disney-pink-slime-lawsuit-settled-for-177-million-abc-news/ 1/4 8/11/2017 Disney "pink slime" lawsuit settled for whopping $177 million - CBS News Disney disclosed the legal costs associated with the litigation when it reported earnings Thursday. Terms of the settlement, though, were confidential. "ABC was hemorrhaging legal costs," said Charles Glasser, a media lawyer and a Media Law and Ethics Professor at NYU's Graduate School of Journalism, adding that a trial alone could have Sponsored by Hilton cost ABC "a million dollars Join the Weekenders or more." Join the Weekenders, there’s a Hilton for you. "We forget that these news organizations are Watch CBSN Live Play VIDEO corporations -- they have a Lawsuit accuses Disney of collecting kids' info fiduciary duty to What's Stopping China From on game apps stockholders," he said. Taking A Tougher Stance On North Korea? BPI's case was unusual for several reasons. About 80 percent of libel and defamation cases get thrown out of CBS News Gains Access To court on procedural grounds before they reach a jury. Media companies that make Guam Air Base what most experts would deem "honest mistakes" are typically protected by the First Amendment. However, when the case survives the initial challenges, the odds tilt in favor of the plaintiff against the media companies -- particularly those seen New Video Raises Questions About The Safety Of Parking as having deep pockets. Garage In Austin, Texas "They had to do a risk calculation about what if this thing goes to trial," Glasser said. President Trump Continues To Threaten North Korea Over The Hulk Hogan litigation against the now-defunct Gawker website might have Their Nuclear Arm Development served as a cautionary tale for ABC News. Gawker Media filed for 37-Year-Old Man Jumps On Stage During Britney Spears bankruptcy protection last year after losing the case the former professional wrestler brought against it for publishing a sex tape featuring him.

Many of these examinations have focused on performances that emphasize subversion and separated drag into two categories: the progressive drag that subverts, and the regressive drag that reinforces. While this approach has provided a wealth of understanding about drag performance and gender roles, drag can be examined without separating its subverting/reinforcing aspects.

  • America, the Dystopian Reality Show: Pink Slime Edition
    AMERICA, THE DYSTOPIAN REALITY SHOW: PINK SLIME EDITION The Daily Show Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,The Daily Show on Facebook When The Decline and Fall of the American Empire is written, I hope the historian writing it is astute enough to notice that the same week our nation’s highest court spent deciding whether the government could legally offer (badly conceived) health insurance reform, the business community was fighting to sustain a market for pink slime. Pink slime arose as a typically American response to industrialization. After Jack in the Box killed a bunch of its customers by feeding them E. coli, rather than cleaning up the nation’s industrial meat supply, the food industry instead decided to scrub meat parts with ammonia before mixing it back in with The Beef. But guess what? If you tell consumers what kind of slime you’re actually feeding them, they’ll stop eating it. Ammoniated beef has taken a real beating in the media over the past couple years, and now fast-food giants McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Burger King are no longer using it. As veteran journalist Philip Brasher reported over the holidays, the Iowa-based company that manufactures the beef product — at one time used in around 70 percent of American ground beef — has watched sales drop by 25 percent. Beef Products Inc. uses an innovative process to turn fatty beef trimmings, which used to go mainly into pet food and other byproducts, into hamburger filler. Because the trimmings are at risk for E.

People seem to have a huge interest in other people’s lives and there seem to be an amazingly endless line of topics to talk about. Celebrities, placed in a fake comfort zone that they can’t escape, are forced to talk about their personal business. People just like you and me are willing to tell all about their problems on a TV- show that is aired to millions of people. I can’t let go of my contradictory feelings concerning talk shows – I am fascinated but at the same time scared about how a person can make a total stranger feel so comfortable in front of millions of people.
