Her late husband Larry Miller, who owned a TV station and movie theaters and left the team to her when he died...

From 1995 to 2001, KJZZ-TV was a charter UPN affiliate. In October 2000, Miller demanded the right to breach his contract with the network if it increased its "urban/ethnic programming" to more than two hours per week, due to lack of minorities within the Salt Lake Metropolitan.[1 The incident drew nationwide attention, and UPN promptly moved their programming to KPNZ.

On January 6, 2006, the film Brokeback Mountain was pulled from Miller's Megaplex 17 theater at the last minute after Miller learned from a radio reporter that the film featured a gay romance. Other R-rated films, such as the comedy Grandma's Boy and the violent horror film Hostel were still allowed to be shown. As a result, the businessman was accused of exhibiting bias against homosexuality.

Fox News Contributor Katie Pavlich: America ‘Doesn’t Get Enough Credit’ For Ending Slavery
Journalist Soledad O’Brien called the contributor “a complete moron” on Twitter for her comments.

On Tuesday’s episode of Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” contributor Katie Pavlich argued against Elizabeth Warren’s recent suggestion that the country needs to talk about the injustices of American slavery and the lasting impact it has had on generations of black Americans.

Pavlich’s argument against reparations to the descendants of enslaved people came down to saying the country doesn’t get enough credit for ending slavery:

They keep blaming America for the sin of slavery but the truth is, throughout human history, slavery existed, and America came along as the first country to end it within 150 years. And we get no credit for that to move forward and try to make good on that.



Pavlich’s argument is factually inaccurate: There are several countries that outlawed slavery before the U.S. did in 1865.

That didn’t stop her from arguing that offering reparations to black Americans would actually make race relations even worse.

“If you want to inflame racial tension even more, start blaming people who have nothing to do with slavery for the sin of slavery,” she offered. “That is not fair, that’s not the American way, and we shouldn’t be doing it.”

Pavlich’s comments caught the attention of many, including journalist Soledad O’Brien, who called the Fox News contributor “a complete moron.”



Pavlich went to Twitter to walk back her comments slightly and to whine about O’Brien’s shade.



O’Brien didn’t back down. Instead, she suggested that, in the future, Pavlich might want to do research before making false historical claims.

Referee Who Forced N.J. Wrestler to Cut Dreadlocks Alleges 'Emotional Distress'
The referee claims he "properly performed his duties" in requiring the wrestler to cut his dreadlocks at a match — a claim disputed by a lawyer for the athlete's family.

The referee claims he "properly performed his duties" in requiring the wrestler to cut his dreadlocks at a match — a claim disputed by a lawyer for the athlete's family.
Outrage after high school wrestler forced to cut dreadlocks or forfeit match

A referee who forced a New Jersey high school wrestler to cut his dreadlocks or forfeit a match in December has taken the first step toward filing a lawsuit alleging defamation of character and emotional distress.

Alan Maloney, who is white, claims in a legal filing that he "properly performed his duties as the referee and fairly applied the rules governing a wrestling match" when he ordered Andrew Johnson, a black varsity wrestler from Atlantic County to cut his hair before a match.

A video of the haircut went viral and drew widespread condemnation, including from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Olympic wrestler Jordan Burroughs and the state ACLU.

It showed Johnson looking dejected as a trainer from his school, Buena Regional High, sheared his dreadlocks. The state's Civil Rights Division and its interscholastic athletic association started separate investigations into the incident.

In the legal filing dated March 6 and sent to more than a dozen defendants this month — including the borough of Buena, its high school and school district, and the New Jersey Attorney General and New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association — Maloney lists his injuries, damages or losses as defamation of character, loss of income and emotional distress.

Maloney defended his actions in the filing, saying Johnson's hair and headgear were not compliant with regulation at the match. They are his first public remarks about the incident.

Buena school officials said after the match and the response to the video that Maloney would no longer referee any meets involving its athletes and the state interscholastic athletic association barred him from officiating at meets pending the outcome of the two investigations.

An attorney for the Johnson family said any plans Maloney has to file a claim as a victim in the incident is "outright absurd."

“His description of events misstates the facts and the applicable rules, both of which show that Andrew should have been permitted to wrestle — just as he did four days earlier — without a hair covering, without having to first cut his hair, and without Maloney’s unjustified interference," Dominic Speziali said in a statement.

The haircut prompted claims of racism. Film director Ava DuVernay was among those to ask whether it showed a racial bias against Johnson and other black athletes who wear their hair in natural styles.

Maloney is seeking $100,000 in damages.

82-Year-Old Bank Robber Who Says He Was Desperate Sentenced to 10 Weekends in Jail

BENTON, Ill. —

An 82-year-old man who says he was desperate when he robbed an Illinois bank has been sentenced to 10 weekends in jail.

Federal Judge Phil Gilbert told Arthur Bays that he’s never seen a criminal as old as him. He said on Thursday that he struggled with Bays' sentencing.

Bays had a toy gun in his waistband when he demanded money from a teller at State Bank of Whittington in Benton last July. He got $12,500.

That's wild because bank robbery is a fed crime with usually some years mandatory. I've legit seen an old black man with the same story get years (albeit he was an ex con that wanted to go back)

Man Steals $122 Million From Google And Facebook By Just Asking Them For Money

https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/0...le-and-facebook-by-just-asking-them-for-money

A man has pleaded guilty to stealing a combined $122 million from Google and Facebook between 2013 and 2015. Evaldas Rimasauskas of Lithuania managed to steal $99m from Facebook and $23m from Google by way of a simple plan: he sent invoices to the tech giants for items they hadn’t ordered. Astonishingly, both companies paid up. A story at Boing Boing explains that the invoices were sent alongside a variety of forged paperwork, including contracts and falsely signed letters, to maintain an air of legitimacy. Rimasauskas even mocked up emails that appeared to come from corporate executives to support his demands for payment.

The plan was further bolstered by Rimasauskas pretending to be Taiwanese hardware company Quanta Computer Inc. He even registered a company of that name in Latvia to help cement the credentials. So meticulous was his plan, no one at Facebook or Google checked to see if Rimasauskas’s invoices were legitimate. They simply paid them. Rimasauskas then transferred the money to bank accounts set up in Cyprus, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Latvia.

Rimasauskas was eventually discovered by Google, and now faces charges of US wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering. He has agreed to forfeit $50m, and could face up to 30 years imprisonment when he is sentenced on July 29.

Google has recently been in the news for more pleasant things when it announced Google Stadia at GDC last week. The company’s new games streaming service will feature a new controller, and can be played on any TV or PC via Chrome.
