Rupert Murdoch's "News of the World" tried to pay a New York City police officer for private phone records of 9/11 victims

If you really want to boycott Rupert Murdoch then you can't buy/listen/read/watch ANY of these.

Decorated Latino Marine shot 60 times in front of his wife and child. This story MUST get more airtime as a powerful indictment of the race tensions in Arizona, and the cost of the "at-all-cost" attitude of the people that run this country's War on Drugs.

PROTIP: Reactionary law passed in response to current events is NEVER a good idea.

Rupert Murdoch should be treated with the exact same kind of sensationalist media-hype that was given to Anthony Weiner.

Here's a thought: Let's get someone, ANYONE, other than Chris Berman to call the HR Derby next year.

A great article by ESPN.com: Marta, Brazil take a turn to the dark side.

Kid makes a ridiculous catch at the Home Run Derby
