Right-wing media darling Scott Walker has announced he is running for president. Conservative punditshave lionized Walker as a "charismatic," "sexy," "genuine hero."

Media outlets downplayed the legal concerns swirling around Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush's fundraising for his affiliated super PAC prior to his formal campaign announcement in their reports on the campaign's unprecedented fundraising success.

Right-wing media are mocking proposed legislation that would make the language in the federal marriage code gender-neutral, following the Supreme Court's decision earlier this month making same-sex marriage legal in every state.

A debunked right-wing media talking point appears to have made its way to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who recently repeated thedubious claim thatas many as34 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States.In fact,the real number islikelymore than 20 million less-- the 34 million figure seems to originate fromright-wing media misrepresentinga federal contracting bid.

The conservative group Cause of Action has reportedly filed a lawsuit regarding Hillary Clinton's emails as secretary of state. The group has received funding from the Koch brothers' financial network, and its executive director worked for Charles Koch and for the House Oversight Committee under Republican Rep. Darrell Issa.

Fox News is on the defensive after Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush said making Americans "work longer hours" was a central facet of his economic growth plan, claiming that Bush meant to say that the "Obama economy" is forcing Americans into part-time work. However, Fox's reasoning is based on faulty data and imaginary links between hours worked, productivity, and wages.

Fox News personalities and right-wing radio hosts are crediting Donald Trump with focusing national media attention on sanctuary cities and immigration with his incendiary comments that characterized immigrants as criminals and "rapists" -- leading Trump to brag about Fox's laudatory coverage of his racist remarks.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign launch speech viciously denigrated Mexican immigrants and strongly split conservative media figures on his candidacy. While some argue Trump is a "rodeo clown," others think he is "saying things that need to be said."Several conservatives disagree with Trump's rhetoric but claim he's raising important issues.

Right-wing media outlets are pushing Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy's deceptive claim that Hillary Clinton inaccurately told CNN in an interview that she had never been subpoenaed about the private email system she used as secretary of state. In fact, Clinton refuted a suggestion that she deleted personal emails unrelated to her work while she was under subpoena.

In an attempt to recognize prescription opioidabusers who have been working to change their lives for the better, theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)this week launched a new social media initiative welcoming the stories of those who have been affected by prescription painkilleraddiction.

The CDC launched its campaign, titled When the Prescription Becomes the Problem, this week at the fourth annual National RX Drug Abuse Summit.The social media activity, designed to raise awareness of prescription painkiller abuse and overdose, will run through May 15.

Prescription drug overdose devastates individuals, families and communities, said Erin Connelly, associate director for Communication at the CDCs Injury Center. Wed like to get everyone talking and thinking about the risks involved with opioid painkillers.

[The] CDCs approach to prescription drug overdose remains on primary prevention of opioid addiction and overdose that is, addressing the problematic opioid prescribing that created and continues the fuel the epidemic, Connelly said.

We particularly emphasize the role of states and work to equip states with the resources they need to advanced comprehensive, data-driven prevention, she said. States drive prevention they regulate the health professions, run prescription drug monitoring programs, administer large public insurance programs like Medicaid, and have the public health surveillance capacity to track the behavior of the epidemic.

According to the CDC, therewere 16,235 deaths involving prescription opioids in 2013, an increase of 1% from 2012.

Congressman Hal Rogers who is the co-founder and co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Prescription Drug Abuse became involved in the CDCs social media campaign after being asked by Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDCs director. Rogers believes the CDC is doing great work in the field of opioid abuse.

The Fiscal Year 2015 Omnibus appropriations bill provided $20 million for CDC to expand its Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States program, which will provide 17 states with resources to enhance prescription drug monitoring programs and implement evidence-based and innovative prevention programs, said Rogers, who represents Kentuckys fifth congressional district. [The] CDC is also uniquely positioned to implement strong surveillance to track the progress in reducing addiction and abuse.

Even though the program now is limited to only small portion of the country, the presidents proposed budget for fiscal year 2016 requests that the CDC expands thePrescription Drug Overdose Prevention for States program to all 50 states.

CDC Launches Social Media Campaign Targeting Prescription Drug Overdoses

A Labour government would protect media plurality and implement recommendations for independent press regulation found in the Leveson report, according to the partys election manifesto.

The commitment to media plurality and reminder of promise to victims of the phone-hacking scandal is likely to be seen as an attack on Rupert Murdochs News Corp, the ultimate owner of the Sun and Times. However, the pledge on media ownership falls short of Ed Milibands suggestion in 2012 in that no owner should be allowed to control more than 34% of the UK media, a cap which would force News Corp to sell one of the titles.

The manifesto reads: Labour will take steps to protect the principle of media plurality, so that no media outlet can get too big, including updating our rules for the 21st century media environment.

In his evidence to the Leveson inquiry, the Labour leader said he did not believe that one person should continue to control 34% of the newspaper market, and that he believed News Corp had power without responsibility.

No one media owner should be able to exert undue influence on public opinion and policymakers, says the document, launched in Manchester on Monday. No media company should have so much power that those who run it believe themselves above the rule of law.

Asked at the launch whether he supported a cap on media ownership, Miliband said: It it is incredibly important that we have a free press, and that they can write what it likes about me. And they certainly have.

On the vexed issue of regulation, the manifesto reads: We remain strongly committed to the implementation of the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry. We expect the industry to establish a mechanism or independent self-regulation, which delivers proper redress for individuals, as set out in the royal charter, and agreed by all parties in parliament.

We made a promise to victims of the phone-hacking scandal. We stand by that promise and will keep it.

Miliband added at the launch: Weve got to have a press that doesnt treat victims in a way that means they have no redress, thats what Leveson was all about.

Labours statement raises questions for Ipso, the regulator set up by publishers after they failed to agree a system backed by royal charter. Ipso chairman Sir Alan Moses has ruled out seeking charter recognition.

The Philippine media industry is now at the forefront of advancing the countrys progress through the information it disseminates, a modern-day reality underscored by Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez, Jr. yesterday in his keynote speech during the opening of the Confluence Media Congress 2015 in Pasay City.

The event gathered some 1,700 delegates comprised of media suppliers, advertisers, marketers at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila.

The meeting of the strategic objectives and the publics feelings happen every day, Jimenez said. [The] media provide the avenues, the public provides the message.

The advent of technology, social media in particular, according to Jimenez, has played a big role in the success of the Department of Tourisms Its More Fun in the Philippines campaign.

Organized by the Media Specialists Association of the Philippines (MSAP), the biennial confab urges todays media practitioners that rethinking and reshaping the future of media today is an indispensable part of engaging the general public. The first congress was held in 2013.

The focus is on media and development, MSAP Media Congress 2015 Chairman Nic Gabunada Jr. told Manila Bulletin (MB). At the turn of the century, we can see that the media have become more like above the line.

The game is now all about content and how the media engage the consumer via content, according to Gabunada, who delivered the welcome remarks and introduced Jimenez.

Its no longer just the straightforward use of your advertisement by being on television, radio, or print. Now, you have to consider that there are digital, online, [and] mobile platforms. We call this new distribution, he said.

The consumer has changed because he has more control over content now, he said.

Asked to further elaborate on Confluence in the confabs theme, Gabunada said that its a portmanteau of convergence and influence.
