ADVICE

With gaffes and other bad news becoming more frequent, second-guessing about the Obama campaign has already begun. Fortunately, the solution is obvious: Hit. Romney. Hard. By Michael Tomasky.

LEVESON

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the relationship between
 politicians and the press has “gone wrong” and that they have become
 “too close.” In his testimony on Thursday before the Leveson Inquiry—the Parliamentary committee investigating media ethics in the wake of
 the hacking scandal at News Corp.—Cameron said he didn’t “believe the
 regulatory system works” and said that he’s “not trying to blame 
the whole thing on New Labor, but I think it’s been a developing 
story.” Cameron said he never “traded a policy” to receive
 favorable coverage.


ON TRIAL

In a packed day at court, three accusers took the stand and alleged a disturbing pattern of abuse. Plus, the jury heard damning words from the ex-coach himself. Diane Dimond reports.

DEADLY

United Nations monitors arrived in the Syrian town of Haffeh on
 Thursday, the site of an alleged massacre where President Bashar
al-Assad had prevented them from entering on Tuesday. U.S. officials
 charged that Russian-made weapons were killing civilians in Syrian “hourly.” But U.S. officials
 backtracked 
from earlier claims that Russia has been supplying the Syrian 
government with arms, with officials saying late Wednesday that the
 Russian-made helicopters were “not new.” Meanwhile, China’s foreign
 minister 
indicated problems with France’s proposed plan to enforce U.N. special
 envoy Kofi Annan’s peace plan, saying China opposed any plan “leaning 
toward sanctions and pressure.”


YIKES

After a worse-than-expected quarter, Nokia announced on Thursday that it would be cutting 10,000 jobs—roughly about one in every five. Hit hard by rivals Apple and Samsung, Nokia also cut its earnings outlook for the third quarter. To compete in the ever-growing global cellphone business, Chief Executive Stephen Elop is pinning all his hopes on the Lumia phone, which uses Microsoft Corp. software—but sales have been sluggish to start. Shares in the Finnish-based Nokia were down 10.5 percent on Thursday, below the psychologically important 2 euros-per-share—with analyst Mikko Ervasti saying there is “no definitive bottom” for the share price to reach.
