In an age when the broadsheets are struggling and anyone can make their own mini-endorsements on Twitter or Facebook, do newspaper endorsements still matter? The Democratic Governor nominee better hope so. She’s walked away with the support of every major newspaper’s editorial board in the state. That’s an almost unheard…

Our long, local nightmare is over. Actually, it was more like a slightly upsetting drunken fever dream, but whatever the case, last night we said “So long, farewell, auf Guido-sehen, goodnight” once and for all to our most infamous temporary residents: the cast of Jersey Shore. Amazingly, despite the fears…
Former local news powerhouse WTVJ is now trudging along near the bottom of the ratings, but that’s not stopping them from expanding their news coverage to a 24/7 sub-channel. Broadcasting & Cable reports that the NBC-owned-and-operated station will debut sometime shortly after the new year…
USA Today sure had a big scoop splashed across its front page today. Apparently, everyone in America outside of Miami hates the Miami Heat. That’s real breaking news there. Someone notify the Pulitzers.At least we did learn a few things. Like the fact that apparently people view the Miami Heat…
Cruise ship tourists: they may be kind of annoying, but they’re pretty damn good for our local economy. For the third year in a row the Port of Miami has set a world record for the number of cruise passengers traveling through a port. Despite the economy, that means the…
Residents of two blocks of a Miami neighborhood awoke this morning to find their street littered with the corpses of dozens of headless animals, NBC Miami reports. Neighbors heard a loud boom early in the morning and came outside to discover the stench and sight of the bodies…

Hugo Chavez runs Venezuela as a leftist secular state. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad runs Iran as a far-right country under Islamic law. These two should not and do not agree on most things. So why are they teaming up to promise a “new world order?” Because they both hate America so much…
Miami has long been the country’s capitol for Medicare fraud schemes, and today federal authorities arrested four people associated with American Therapeutic Corporation and charged the Miami-based company with fleecing $200 million from Medicare. The company is accused of preying on patients with severe dementia, and forcing them to go…
It won’t be for another 10 years, but the Miami Hurricanes and the Michigan State Spartans will meet in a home-and-away series in 2020 and 2021. Even with mixed results over the past few seasons, it seems the Miami athletic department isn’t shying away from the trend of scheduling big…

Rick Sanchez may be off the air, but he’s back on the medium he truly loves: Twitter. Integrating messages from the microblogging service became his trademark at CNN, so obviously he could not stay away from the Twitter machine for long. He didn’t get his old account in his severance…
The gripping finale of Jersey Shore season two airs tomorrow, and with the crew heading back to the series’ eponymous location for season three we’ll have to say goodbye to our favorite guidos. So, obviously, we must treasure these last precious moments we have with them. Today let’s remember what…
Latwan Anderson came into the University of Miami as the 15th best recruit of the ’10 recruiting class in the entire nation according to Rivals.com. Now its unclear if he’ll be playing football at Miami, or anywhere for that matter. According to The Herald, Anderson has left the football team…
Just because we’d rather sit on the beach listening to the Dolphins game on the radio or checking the score on our iPhone doesn’t mean we aren’t real Fins fans, right? OK, the Miami sports fan stereotype of a bandwagoner who’d rather spend their Sunday afternoon watching the game anywhere…
The airwaves are rife with ads telling us who and what to vote or not vote for. What you don’t see is ads telling you not to vote at all. A conservative group tried to air an ad telling Latino voters not to vote in Nevada on Univision, but the…
Maurice Ferré, who 25 years ago was the mayor of the City of Miami, thinks he didn’t get a fair shake in his long shot run for Senate in the Democratic primary. Somehow he’s claiming this is “an insult to every Hispanic voter in our state.” So what does he…
It wasn’t exactly a proud moment for our country when then President Bill Clinton famously quipped “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is,” while under sworn testimony. If you look back at that episode and cringe, you’ll probably be in horror watching video of Rick Scott…
Republican Attorney General candidate Pam Bondi’s latest campaign ad is pretty damn good. Actually we’re not sure if it would work better as an actual campaign ad or a trailer for an upcoming CBS legal drama. It’s pure Hollywood, with stirring string music, ominous sound effects, and a spooky sounding…
