On International Women's Day, Twitter Targets Charlie Sheen
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsIt's International Women's Day, and everyone's talking about ... Charlie Sheen. Sure, the tiger blood jokes are funny enough. But there's a growing backlash against the media frenzy that's been eager to document Sheen's every wild utterance and less eager to discuss his history of domestic violence charges. As Jezebel.com founding editor Anna Holmes wrote in a New York Times op-ed this weekend, "While his self-abuses are endlessly discussed, his abuse of women is barely broached." But on the very microblogging platform that gave Sheen a Guinness record, that started to change ...

Disfigured Afghan on Cover of Time Heads to US
By Lauren Frayer - AOL News(Aug. 5) -- A disfigured Afghan teen whose image has fast become the new face of the 9-year-old Afghan war -- and a harbinger of what could come if U.S. troops quit the country -- lands in America today for reconstructive surgery on her missing nose and ears.

Paterson: I Was Source in Times Story About Me
By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(March 18) -- When The New York Times reported that New York Gov. David Paterson intervened in a domestic abuse case involving his top aide, Paterson said the story was based on unsourced claims and unnamed sources.

Paterson told a New York radio station today that he was the source who led the Times to write the story that prompted him to drop his election bid and triggered the resignation of five of his staffers amid calls that he do the same. The Times flatly denies the claim. Chris Hondros, Getty Images New York Gov. David Paterson ...
