Matt Schrader on 03 Nov 09

In a piece reminiscent of classic "60 Minutes," USC journalism student Matt Schrader exposes the dirty side of parking enforcement and street cleaning in downtown Los Angeles. Schrader found that while parking enforcement is out in droves ticketing cars, and mostly on street cleaning days (making the city $15,000 an hour!), the streets they're patrolling aren't even being cleaned. The best line of the piece is from a guy who got ticketed on one of those streets: "They have the manpower to ticket you, but they don't have the manpower to actually do the job."

An investigation into the City of Los Angeles's street cleaning double standard: failure to sweep streets on the designated days but strict enforcement of cars parked along them. The research revealed widespread governmental miscommunication - allowing the City to rake in millions of dollars every month - and oftentimes from batch, "sweeping" ticketings along streets that were never swept.

This commercial uses two terms from the language of persuasion. It uses simple solutions by saying just with this one product your hair will instantly go from laying flat to looking fabulous. The commercial tries to make it sound so easy that anyone can use this product. These commercial also uses bribery, by throwing in extras for "free".

A British film about Charles Darwin has failed to find a US distributor because his theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer.

"...ACCORDING TO ITS PRODUCER." Is this a realistic scenario? Perhaps an attempt to provoke offers or start a bidding war for US distribution rights for this film?

With journalists being laid off in droves, ideologues have stepped forward to provide the "reporting" that feeds the 24-hour news cycle. The collapse of journalism means that the quest for information has been superseded by the quest for ammunition.
