> Newsweek likes Happy Hour (but then who doesn’t?) But they like FBN’s version. “‘Happy Hour’ is the most naked example of [Rupert] Murdoch’s strategy.

> ABC News’ Brian Ross and his investigative team have won the 2007 Online News Association award for investigative journalism. The award is for the team’s work on the page scandal involving former Rep. Mark Foley.
