In a Wednesday interview on BBC World News America, liberal FCC Commissioner Michael Copps told correspondent Katty Kay: “I think American media has a bad case of substance abuse right now ….we are going to be pretty close to denying our citizens the essential news and information that they need to have in order to make intelligent decisions about the future direction of their country.” As TVNewser reported on Thursday, after Kay asked about instituting a “Public Value Test” of media outlets, Copps replied: “What we've had in recent years is an aberration where we have had no oversight of the media. For years and years we had some public interest guidelines…they agreed to serve the public interest and that public interest to me right now is crying 'news and information, news and information, news and information.'” read more

Almost all of America is rallying around Steven Slater , the former flight attendant who ended a 20-year career in the business by telling off a passenger and emergency sliding off a plane. A Facebook group already has over 15,000 supporters signed up to defend Slater, while 97% of THG readers polled would give him a key to New York City . However, JetBlue is not among those rushing to the defense of their ex-employee. Far from it, in fact. According to an internal memo uncovered by TMZ, the airline is peeved at Slater. Immediately prior to Steve’s outburst, the memo confirms his plane was parked and attached to the gate; passengers were in the process of exiting when “…the forward service door was purposely re-armed and the slide intentionally deployed, endangering lives and equipment.” Also included in the document, which was sent by Vicky Stennes, VP of Inflight Experience: “Some media outlets are portraying yesterday’s event as a humorous example of what individuals may consider doing at a point in their careers — walking off the job in a very public fashion.
Isn’t it ironic that Alanis Morissette just got married, and is now pregnant as well?! Actually no, it’s not ironic at all, but neither are the things mentioned in her song by that name. A fly in your Chardonnay? That’s not ironic, it just sucks. Anyway, congratulations to the just-wed singer! Alanis and Mario “Souleye” Treadway got married in May, and now have even more joyous news to share. In Us Weekly ‘s “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” section this week, the Canadian star decided to casually drop ” I am pregnant !” as No. 25. That’s one way to get the word out! “We’re very excited to embark on this journey with each other,” she Tweeted about her marriage in June. It likely applies to this news, as well … Congratulations to the newlyweds and expectant parents!

Following a series of scripted drunken outbursts, Scott Disick has entered therapy . In his attempt to overcome a battle with substance abuse, the douchebag baby daddy of little Mason Dash is now receiving support from an unlikely source: Kris Jenner. Said Scott’s most vocal critic (while, of course, doing publicity for season five of Keeping Up with the Kardashians ): “I think that Scott has really come a long way. My main concern is for my daughter Kourtney and my grandson Mason, and I think Scott had some issues he was really grappling with and has come around.” Jenner even told E! News that Disick is a “really good dad.” What’s next, will Levi Johnston make up with Bristol Palin? (Probably.) Chimed in Kim Kardashian, regarding her mother’s new viewpoint: “I give her a lot of credit. It must be hard to watch the show [ Kourtney & Khlo
In one of the strangest celebrity gossip stories of the year, actor Jeremy London claimed last month that he was kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to do drugs . The tale seemed hard to believe, literally, as London’s own family expressed public doubts over its validity and said the former Party of Five star needs help for a substance abuse problem. While London insists the incident took place , he admits in a new interview that he struggles to remain sober. Asked if he’s been clean over the last couple months: “I have had a few drinks here and there. I haven’t been perfect. I’ve been horribly depressed… I’ve slipped and I’ve taken a couple painkillers a couple times.” Continued the actor: “Being an addict sucks, it’s a disease and it’s a day-to-day struggle no matter what. But I’m doing great. I’m sober. This [kidnapping] is absolutely something that could cause someone to fall off the wagon…and I’ve been able to stay sober through it. So that’s a big test to me. I’ve proven that I can do it.” And he has the best possible reason for doing so: a son. “He’s the light of my life, I wouldn’t have made it through this without my son. I’m going to do whatever it takes to stay sober.”

The U.S. Veterans Administration (VA) recently adopted a policy prohibiting VA physicians from recommending medical marijuana to their patients, even if marijuana is the safest and most effective medicine to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other service-related conditions. No doubt the policy stems, in part, from the VA's efforts to address the serious problem of drug abuse among returning veterans. Veterans' advocates and organizations like the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) certainly share this concern; last fall, DPA issued a report calling for immediate policy changes to improve veterans' substance abuse and mental health treatment. Yet seen from the larger perspective of helping veterans adjust to civilian life, the VA's stance on medical marijuana is counterproductive and harmful. The ban means that–despite their service to our country–veterans who reside in the 14 states that have legalized medical marijuana are denied the same rights as every other resident of these states. At minimum, the VA should be actively studying whether cannabis and its unique chemical ingredients can be used to reduce post-combat trauma without contributing to drug dependency. Ample research and anecdote strongly suggest this is the case. Patient reports and published research indicate that marijuana can be a highly effective treatment for PTSD, a condition afflicting nearly one in five veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And overwhelming scientific evidence has already proven marijuana's safety and efficacy for treating conditions like chronic pain, which affects many combat-injured veterans. Marijuana, moreover, carries none of the risks associated with prescription drugs used to treat PTSD, which have been implicated in the tragic overdose deaths of several current conflict veterans. “I've run the gamut of different medications at the VA, and basically I was at my limit,” said decorated U.S. Army veteran Paul Culkin, a New Mexico medical marijuana patient who suffers from PTSD after serving in Iraq. “The medications were turning me into a zombie…medical cannabis made me a father and a husband again. It's been a blessing.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-kerrey/va-docs-prohibited-from-d_b_587763.html added by: JackHerer
