Chicago and Rio have never had the Olympics. So, by your logic, wouldn't they deserve to have it more?

Chicago and Rio seem to have a better chance than Tokyo. Asia just had the Olympics. Europe (London) in 2012. The next logical place would be in the Americas.

That's true Smartacus. The conflict between media organization management and News Editors is decades old. As you rightly point out, management seems to be showing unnecessary influence recently. Ideally, readers and viewers would stop using bias media, and outlets like FoxNews on the right and the New York Times on the left, would see the errors of their ways and become more impartial.

"The memorial was designed to accommodate 2,400 visitors a day. It now draws 1.5 million a year."
How difficult this is to compare. Journalists seem to abhor math. How about saying "The memorial was designed to accommodate 2,400 visitors a day, yet now draws about 4,100 visitors per day."

Your poorly worded questions fails to distinguish between news departments and media organizations. News Departments should be neutral. Media organizations are often companies which pay taxes and have specific issues and governmental needs (airwaves come to mind) so they should be able to support specific candidates.

Hard to believe it took so long for the McRib to make its way to Japan. McRib has been available in the US for 27 years.

Couldn't police determine by the amount of gunshot residue how close the gun was to his head, to determine if the shooting was accidental (dropped gun)or suicide?

Wait, I found it. "Anthrax is a farm animal disease that can infect, though very rarely, the human meat supply." But wouldn't this apply to all cattle, including those in Japan?

Cows spread Anthrax? Could you explain how they do that, freakashow.

If I recall correctly, no cow born in the United States has ever had BSE. The two that did have it were from Canada. Isn't that correct?

Japanese women age so gracefully. Aya's great, but not that much different from many (most?) Japanese women in their 40s.

How is the National Police Agency is able to change the law? Anyone know? Seriously. I don't get it. What authority does the NPA have to create laws? Perhaps a lawyer could explain it.

"The company will give out special items autographed by figure skaters Mao and Mai Asada, golfer Momoko Ueda and five other athletes whom the company sponsors."
However, if you want a beer on your flight to the US...that'll be 6 bucks.
