DreamWorks Animation Deal Talks Sabotaged By Anonymous Letter
Kim Masters and Paul Bond, Nov. 19, 2014, The Hollywood Reporter
The termination of merger talks between DreamWorks Animation and Hasbro has plunged the company behind Shrek and Penguins of Madagascar into a state of high anxiety.
The stalled Hasbro negotiation is the second in recent weeks to be leaked to the media only to be declared dead within 48 hours. THRrevealed Sept. 27 that Japan's SoftBank was interested in buying DWA for as much as $3.4 billion. Around that point, however, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son had started to cool to the idea. DWA was angling to sweeten the price when news of the talks broke and the potential deal was scuttled.

Former CBS News Reporter Sharyl Attkisson Claims Existence Of Obama Enemies' List
By Paul Bond, Nov. 3, 2014, Hollywoodreporter.com
"I kind of assume I'm on a list. I don’t think I'm the only one"
Sharyl Attkisson is an investigative journalist who became the story when she quit CBS News after two decades amid allegations that the network refused to run some of her stories that were critical of President Barack Obama. Ahead of the Tuesday release of her book Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington, she spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about her struggles with CBS executives and her assertion that her computers were hacked, possibly by Obama operatives.
THR reached out for a response from CBS News, but the organization declined to comment.
THR: Who did you tell at CBS that your computers were hacked?
The first person I spoke to was Washington bureau chief Chris Isham.
THR: Did he believe you?
He appeared to.
THR: Did CBS care? Did they do anything about it?
God, you know, there’s a lot of people there. He seemed to care. He hired a separate computer forensics firm to look at the computers. They, too, agreed that there had been highly sophisticated remote intrusion of my computers. They decided to dig deeper and embark upon a process that spanned a number of months, during which time the situation with the Associated Press and the government spying on Fox News reporter James Rosen was disclosed, as well as Edward Snowden’s NSA information.
THR: Did they ever find out who hacked your computers and spied on you?
I don’t believe their computer forensics team concluded who spied on me.
