Nerven vor dem Diesel-Gipfel liegen blank: Diesel wird Wahlkampfthema - Dobrindt-Apell an die "verdammte Verantwortung" der Auto-Bosse
Bundeswirtschaftsministerin Zypries knickt vor dem Diesel-Gipfel ein. Ein Verbot für Verbrennungsmotoren lehnt sie ab. Auch mit einer Elektroautoquote kann sie nur wenig anfangen. Alexander Dobrindt, seines Zeichens Verkehrsminister, versucht vor dem Gipfel jede Nähe zu den Autobossen mit markigen Sprüchen zu übertünchen. Die Reaktion folgt prompt – die Diesel-Krise ist im Wahlkampf angekommen. …read more

While a variety of props – fake airplanes, hot air balloons, automobiles, trains — had been used in studio photography since the late 19th century, their popularity gained traction at the outbreak of World War I in Europe.
Photographs were taken as “official” souvenirs for servicemen at military training camps to send home to friends and families, while more informal photo opportunities were available at arcades and amusement parks for soldiers …read more

Any true Supernatural fan knows that even though the show doesn’t have an official theme song, the CW hit has always had an unofficial anthem in Kansas’ Carry On Wayward Son, which has appeared in every finale for the past 12 seasons.
In Hall H at Comic-Con on Sunday, fans got a live performance from the band, complete with massive wraparound video screens recapping the previous 12 years of the show.

Newsmax Wants FCC to Delay Sinclair's Deal for Tribune
Newsmax Media wants federal regulators to slow their review of Sinclair Broadcast Group’s proposed $3.9 billion purchase of Tribune Media, saying the deal raises concerns about media concentration.
“I am calling for delay,” Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, a conservative outlet with a 24-hour cable news channel, said in an interview. “I think it needs more vetting.”
Ruddy, a friend of President Donald Trump, adds a conservative voice to liberal critics of the deal who are wary of Sinclair building a network of local stations featuring the company’s pro-Trump commentary.

Chrissy Teigen, John Legend and little Luna had the ultimate family getaway last week on the island of Bali in Indonesia.

Maker of Hit Toy Hatchimals Hatches a Plan to Win Christmas
Something is hatching this October. Spin Master, the Toronto-based company behind Hatchimals, the “it” toy of 2016, is preparing for the second iteration of its popular hatching egg toy. But unlike last year, when stores sold out in minutes and desperate parents paid as much as $500, more than eight times the original $60 price, for the privilege of having the must-have item under their Christmas tree, the toymaker will not be caught off-guard.
“It wasn’t that supply wasn’t thereit was an aggressive supply,” explained Tara Tucker, VP of global marketing and communications at 23-year-old Spin Master, which also owns Paw Patrol and Etch A Sketch. “It just caught on so quickly and exceeded anyone’s expectations.” She noted that consumers lined up for Hatchimal product drops as early as 4 a.m. in the months following the brand’s October 7 debut last year. One analyst estimated two million units were sold, generating some $80 million in revenue, according one CNN Money report.
Some retailers are dedicating more space to toys this holiday in an effort to boost sales and encourage in-store visits. JC Penney announced last week it will operate toy shops in all of its 1,000-plus brick-and-mortar stores and has doubled its online assortment as well.

Deflategate 2.0: Big-Spending Viagra and Cialis Are Pulling Out of the NFL
TV networks are trying to keep a stiff upper lip as the once-lucrative erectile dysfunction sector has begun sagging like a doctored football in Tom Brady’s throwing hand. According to multiple insiders, a certain little blue pill has all but vanished from the airwaves, and its absence will be particularly conspicuous during the upcoming NFL season.
Nearly 20 years after the FDA first approved its use as an ED remedy, Pfizer’s Viagra is losing its patent exclusivity, and that’s a bitter pill to swallow for the TV business. Viagra hasn’t aired a national TV advertisement since May 15, and network ad sales executives said the brand is unlikely to resurface, having sat out the 2017-18 upfront bazaar.
Football fans should notice the dearth of Viagra spots as early as Sept. 7, when NBC is set to broadcast its annual NFL Kickoff Game. When the Chiefs and Patriots square off in Foxborough, their clash will not be interrupted by pitches for what was until recently the NFL’s top-spending pharmaceutical brand; according to iSpot.tv data, Viagra last season invested nearly $31 million in pro football inventory.

Feel-Good Hit of the Summer: 12 Seasons in, 'America's Got Talent' Shows No Sign of Letting Up
We’re already one-third of the way through the 18-week summer TV schedule, and while there are still a number of series that have yet to take their bows, it appears unlikely that any will unseat the sweaty season’s longtime ratings champ.
Now in its twelfth season, NBC’s million-dollar competition series “America’s Got Talent” remains summer TV’s gold standard. Through its first five episodes, “AGT” is averaging 12.5 million live-plus-same-day viewers and a dizzying 2.6 rating in NBC’s target demo, which translates to 3.3 million adults 18-49. (Transfer those demo deliveries to the regular season, and “AGT” would rank fourth among all non-NFL broadcast programs, trailing only “The Big Bang Theory,” “Empire” and “This Is Us.”
While “AGT” reaches a somewhat older crowd (the median age of the viewers who tuned in to last Tuesday’s broadcast was 57.4 years), the show’s talent pool of dancing dogs, pre-teen puppeteers and crooning cabbies also helps draw a fair amount of younger enthusiasts as well. In each of the five nights it has aired thus far this summer, “AGT” has put up the highest ratings among the adults 18-34 crowd; currently, the show is drawing around 1.1 million members of the younger demo per broadcast.
