David Horowitz, the News Emmy-winning reporter and longtime consumer advocate who was involved in one of the most infamous live-tv events in Los Angeles history, has died. He was 81. A family spokesman said the Fight Back! host died Thursday in Los Angeles of dementia-related complications.

Horowitz was a reporter for NBC during the Vietnam War and opened the network’s first Saigon bureau. He later was the only newsman to be live on the air in the immediate aftermath of the 1971 Sylmar earthquake. A fixture on Knbc-tv newscasts for nearly 20 years, he moved to rival Kcbs in 1993. It was during his stint on the NBC affiliate that a disturbed man pulled a “gun” on Horowitz during a live segment.

With the weapon — which later was revealed to be a Bb pistol but looked very real — held at his back, Horowitz was forced to read a rambling manifesto. Horowitz began to engage the man,...

David Horowitz, the creator and host of the popular Fight Back! news segments and programs that went to bat for consumers, has died. He was 81.

Horowitz died Thursday in Los Angeles from complications related to dementia, a family spokesman announced.

A 15-time Emmy Award winner, Horowitz confronted companies and investigated defective products and false claims for everyday people. He spent two decades at Knbc-tv in Los Angeles before moving to Kcbs-tv starting in 1993, and his syndicated Fight Back! With David Horowitz was on the air for 18 years in more than 60 markets.

The publicist who worked with Barbra Streisand, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and advised Bill Clinton and Israeli premier Yitzhak Rabin has died at his Los Angeles home. He was 86.

David Horowitz’s wife Lynn confirmed on Monday that the longtime publicist, awards campaign specialist and Civil Rights activist died on July 17.

Horowitz’ in-house roles of note included president of corporate entertainment, president of the film division and president of the TV division at Rogers & Cowan. He went to Warner Bros in the 1970s, first as the...

A still from Doritos Manchild..

.

Aussie director Armand de Saint-Salvy has a one in ten chance of pocketing $1 million Usd - as well as picking up a contract with Universal Pictures - after being listed as a finalist in Doritos. annual Crash the Super Bowl contest.

His advertisement, titled Doritos Manchild, is the only Australian entry to make it to the top ten finalists this year, typically dominated by Us entrants. Last year, Thomas Noakes also was listed as the solo Australian in the top ten, with his ad Finger Cleaner..

Now in its ninth consecutive year (but only the second year in which it was open to international entries), Crash the Super Bowl essentially asks consumers around the world to create a 30-second advertisement for Doritos.

A panel of judges then chooses a selection of ten finalists (this year, from nearly 4,900 submissions representing 29 countries), from which a grand prize...

Joe Henderson always had the respect of fellow musicians and hardcore jazz fanatics, but for a long time it seemed the closest he'd get to fame was his brief stint in Blood, Sweat & Tears (years later he reminisced, in one of my favorite interviews, about how that short period was when sax companies wanted his endorsement and gave him free horns). Hardly fair considering that he spent a quarter century ranked among the top three tenor saxophonists alive, along with Rollins and Shorter. Then, almost miraculously, Verve put together a masterful production/promotion campaign that made him more famous in his last decade than he'd ever been before. Alas, emphysema took him at age 64, but he'd managed to leave an impressive legacy with nary a misstep -- he never made a bad album, and his appearance on anyone else's album was always a mark of quality. (Why is Ptah, the...

London - The second episode of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's talk show on Tuesday featured a discussion on "left and right" in politics in the 21st century with two guests whose political convictions changed over the course of their careers. On the new episode of The World Tomorrow, David Horowitz, a conservative U.S. thinker had a spirited discussion with former Slovenian anti-communist dissident Slavoj Zizek, a philosopher who later became known as a Marxist, with Assange serving as referee. Horowitz used to be a left-wing activist in the vein of the New Left and was friendly with leaders

This morning, the Internet erupted over a video of students from Santa Monica College being pepper sprayed by campus police. The students were trying to enter a Board of Trustees meeting to protest a tuition hike when about 30 of them were sprayed. So far, much of the media coverage has focused on the campus police's actions (the school has instigated a probe into the incident), but a segment on Your World with Neil Cavuto took it another way. Whereas some people watch the video and wonder how we can stop the growing trend of people being viciously pepper sprayed by authority figures, Your World guest David Horowitz watched it and wondered how we can stop all these darn kids.

Meet the man who turned some of Fox News Channel’s biggest fans into its harshest critics.

When on-air analyst Marc Lamont Hill was fired by Rupert Murdoch himself last Friday, the news was probably overshadowed by the all-out war being fought by the cable news channel and the White House. But when the CEO of News Corp. publicly pink-slips a guy at a shareholders meeting in response to a question from an activist shareholder, it’s worth noting.

The question came from Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media, which together with another conservative-leaning media watchdog, David Horowitz, had called on Fox News repeatedly from their respective blogs in recent weeks to dump Hill. Ordinarily, these men were ardent supporters of Fox News, but Hill’s amply documented roots in radical leftist politics were too much for them to take.

Nevertheless, their insistence on Hill’s ouster underscores a naivete...
