Florida prosecutor holds press conference to discuss charges about Trump campaign manager

A Florida prosecutor has decided not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery after a March run-in with former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, sources with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO. The decision not to press charges against Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to be announced on Thursday afternoon by Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg. Fields may still pursue a defamation case against Lewandowski, a source said. Fields filed a police report last month after Lewandowski grabbed her by the arm and moved her out of Trump’s way following a press conference at Trump National Gold Club in...

Donald Trump and his campaign manager are not perfect, nor are their detractors Americans, Israelis, and fair minded people all over the globe should be outraged at the U.S. Secret Service and the mainstream media, not at Donald Trump in America or the Israeli medic who shot the terrorist in Israel. In America, it has already been established that the Secret Service failed to prevent the reporter Michelle Fields from reaching and even touching the Republican frontrunner for the presidency of the United States. So the Secret Service should be condemned, and Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, should be...

Anyone just catch CNN's Lou Dobbs grilling the female reporter who was covering a Palin speech? Just got a call from someone who watched it who told me: "She snidely was talking about Palin using a prepared speech and teleprompter when Dobbs broke in and asked, "Does Obama still use a teleprompter?" "Does Obama write his own speeches?" She was like a deer in the headlights! She started talking about how she answered no questions and then Dobbs asked "how many questions did Obama answer after his speech today?" She had to ask her producer (on live TV-LOL) and then...

Katie Couric is a bullying diva who capitalized on her status as a widowed mom, a nasty hatchet-job of a new book claims. The most shocking tale in author Edward Klein's unauthorized biography, "Katie: The Real Story," is that Couric's marriage to Jay Monahan was on the rocks long before he died of cancer in 1998. Quoting one of his numerous unnamed sources, Klein claims the couple had grown so far apart that the "only thing that stood between Katie and divorce was her fear of negative publicity." Other unnamed sources told Klein the superstar anchor made Monahan "feel as...

As the news director of WTTG-Fox5, Katherine Green gets stacks of tapes and résumés from reporters and anchors who want to work in her newsroom. Some applicants are young and green, some older and seasoned. But the most common characteristic is: Most are women. By Green's estimate, women applicants outnumber men about 3 to 1. Bill Lord, Green's counterpart at WJLA (Channel 7), sees much the same ratio, and he says the percentage of women has increased year by year. "It's actually more difficult now to find a strong male anchor than a strong female," Green says. "Why? I'm not...

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Ticker) - North Carolina State football coach Chuck Amato made a sexist remark to a female reporter during a halftime interview Saturday. Amato was leaving the field at Doak Campbell Stadium with his team tied with Florida State, 10-10, when he was stopped by ABC sideline reporter Suzie Shuster, who asked a pair of questions. Shuster's second question was, "What are you seeing in their offense that you can attack?" "You," Amato replied.

<p>Every Monday to Thursday, from 10 to 11 p.m. EDT, MSNBC thwacks its viewers on the head with a cudgel called Ashleigh Banfield.</p> <p>Ms. Banfield was recently described by Vogue as "the anchor who is changing the way we watch the news." She has, the magazine continued, created "a new genre of broadcasting--a kind of raw, take-you-there, experiential reporting." I'm not sure what Vogue meant by that last bit of molasses, but my translation reads, Unprepared, verbose and incapable of complex analysis. What we have here is the exaltation of the ditz.</p>

Highway officials prefer willing sellers in parkway plan By: Nerissa Young, Register-Herald Reporter May 08, 2002 HINTON - State highway officials said the same thing Tuesday they said 16 months ago - property to construct the New River Parkway will come from willing sellers and the highway will follow the existing road path. Yet, opponents who termed the whole project a "federal land grab" didn't seem too happy they had won. A group of flag-emblazoned blue T-shirt-clad women calling themselves the Sisters of the River asked highway officials to abandon the workshop format for the supplemental draft environmental impact...
