Knox deputies find cameras stolen from News Sentinel photographer
Travis Dorman Knoxville News Sentinel Published 7:00 AM EDT Sep 14, 2018 News Sentinel photographer Caitie McMekin went from feeling incredibly unlucky to incredibly lucky in a matter of hours on Wednesday. McMekin’s regular pre-work routine was upended around noon when she opened the trunk of her car to find her equipment gone. Several cameras, a handful of lenses and her emergency kit — she remains ready to cover her first hurricane — were missing. “I immediately thought, ‘Did I leave them in the house? Did I leave them in the office?'” the 26-year-old said Thursday. She called her fellow photographer Calvin Mattheis, hoping he’d say she had left the equipment in the newsroom the night before. That wasn’t the case. McMekin then called her boss and, after some discussion, filed a report with the Knoxville Police Department by phone. She told the officer her cameras had been stolen and gave him the serial numbers. … [Read more...] about Knox deputies find cameras stolen from News Sentinel photographer

Fox News Calls Michael Avenatti ‘Creepy Porn Lawyer’ on Chyron During Tucker Carlson Interview
U.S. Fox News labeled Michael Avenatti, the lawyer of adult film star Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford,) as “creepy porn lawyer” during a volatile interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday evening. Both Avenatti and Carlson have been taking swipes at each other over the past few weeks, with the Fox News host repeatedly referring to the attorney as “the creepy porn lawyer”—a term that has become Carlson’s favorite nickname for Avenatti. And when Avenatti appeared on Carlson’s show last night, the host decided to resurrect the offensive nickname as the two butted heads while talking about the alleged affair between President Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels. During the interview, the lower-third chyrons on the screen referred to Avenatti as a “Creepy Porn Lawyer.” The ticker during the heated 12-minute discussion included “Creepy Porn Lawyer Toying with 2020 run,” “Does America Want Creepy Porn … [Read more...] about Fox News Calls Michael Avenatti ‘Creepy Porn Lawyer’ on Chyron During Tucker Carlson Interview
