As Earhardt, Gardner says of the network’s founder Rupert Murdoch: “Rupert Murdoch would never murder anyone. They sent him away for life. Look how sad he looks.” An image of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh then appears on the screen as Earhardt realizes her mistake.

report from The New York Post’s Page Six column.Kellyanne Conway did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.Following the report of the divorce, Trump congratulated his former advisor on Truth Social for splitting from her “wacko husband.” “Free at last, she has finally gotten rid of the disgusting albatross around her neck. She is a great person, and will now be free to lead the kind of life that she deserves…and it will be a great life without the extremely unattractive loser by her side!” Trump posted.After marrying in 2001, former President Donald Trump’s election and his term in office drew the couple’s longstanding and vehement political incongruity into the limelight, as Kellyanne served as Trump’s campaign advisor in the 2016 election while George was outspoken in criticizing him.

It’s finally over, you guys!

Donald Trump called for the building of 10 “freedom cities,” as well as flying cars and a “baby bonus” in a new campaign ad shared to Rumble on Friday.“Today, our country has lost its boldness,” he said after mentioning some of the American infrastructure achievements of the past. “Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way… Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living.”He began with the idea of building 10 new cities on unoccupied federal land.

Donald Trump continued to rail against Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch following the release of documents in Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against Fox News.

from The Washington Post uncovered that FBI agents and the Department of Justice collided in 2022 over the ongoing criminal investigation into Donald Trump, with some members of the former government body arguing that they were “inclined to believe” the former president’s innocence. Hosting “The Last Word” on MSNBC Wednesday, Lawrence O’Donnell was all but rendered speechless, visibly shocked and livid at the presumed hypocrisy that “FBI agents who were screened for aptitude in detecting truth were ‘inclined to believe Trump.'” “In what decade could that sentence possibly be written?” O’Donnell said, aghast, emphasizing that it “may be the single most astonishing sentence ever written that includes the words ‘FBI agents’ and ‘Trump.'”The news channel host then recounted some highlights from Trump’s storied career of lies, going all the way back to the 1970s when he and his father were subject to “a federal civil rights investigation by the Justice Department … when the Trump company’s racist practices got them dragged into court in New York.” Or how about 2011 “when Trump started publicly lying about Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

deposition he gave last month that he knew Fox News Channel was spreading false claims about the 2020 presidential election. Claims that Dominion voting machines were compromised are the basis of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems. Darcy said Murdoch’s deposition will be detrimental to the channel, especially the case goes to trial.“It will be devastating for Fox, I mean this is a taste of what’s to come. Imagine Rupert Murdoch on the stand, Lachlan Murdoch on the stand, Sean Hannity on the stand, Tucker Carlson on the stand,” said Darcy. “This will be weeks and weeks of damning headlines, which could really damage Fox’s brand.

Andrew Weissmann We are in a unique moment in American history. There are currently four criminal investigations into the former president of the United States: two federal, one in Georgia, and one in New York. This novel situation has led to a debate not just in the walls of academe but amongst the citizenry as to whether prosecuting a former president will reduce our country to a so-called banana republic, or whether the very act of not prosecuting the former president would lead to that result. And just as important, how will Jack Smith, the designated Special Counsel in charge of the federal Trump investigations, weigh this issue in deciding whether or not to bring charges? Will the collateral consequences to the country be considered at all, and if so, which way will they cut, for or against prosecution?

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries seized on the latest revelations from Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News, as they called on Rupert Murdoch to curb hosts from spreading election conspiracy theories.

Donald Trump‘s Make America Great Again movement “racist”.The Breaking Bad actor shared his thoughts on the former US president’s catchphrase on Who’s Talking With Chris Wallace.“The Make America Great again – my comment is, do you, do you, do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark? And most people, a lot of people go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?” Cranston said..@BryanCranston explains to Chris Wallace why “MAGA” is a racist remark. (So well done, worth a watch.) pic.twitter.com/c3SdlyzFwe— Kaivan Shroff (@KaivanShroff) February 25, 2023“I said, ‘so just ask yourself from, from an African-American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African-American? When was it great?'” he continued.“So if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them.”The actor went on to say that white people must accept the injustices of the past even if it may seem uncomfortable.“So it’s, it’s to teach us in the woke world to open up and, and accept the possibilities that our privilege has created blind spots for us,” he said.

Representative Adam Schiff calls for advertisers to rethink putting their dollars behind Fox News and “stations that deliberately put out lies and deliberately undermine our elections,” tells MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, “Since there is nothing but the profit motive operating here, the only way to attack is to attack the profit.”The Democratic rep from California stopped by “The Last Word” Monday to discuss, among many things, Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against FNC for defamation and the recent release of news that Fox corporate chairman Rupert Murdoch acknowledged that top Fox News hosts “endorsed” on-air what they knew to be a false narrative.“We see the Fox executives, including the very top executive, understood that they were lying to the American people and what a destructive impact it was having on our elections, on the confidence of our elections, and they did nothing to stop it and,” Schiff said. “Indeed, they affirmatively allowed it to go on because they were worried about losing ratings.”Schiff called Fox News and all those that work there “shameful” for their behavior.

Bryan Cranston is telling it like it is — and thank goodness for that.

filing earlier this month: That top hosts, including Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo were privately horrified that their network was pushing Donald Trump’s “stolen election” narrative – but went ahead with it anyway.“I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it in hindsight,” Murdoch told the Superior Court of the state of Delaware, according to the filing.The documents revealed that top executives also reacted with incredulity – bordering on contempt – to various fictitious allegations about Dominion, including that a secret algorithm in its voting machines allowed ballots to be switched, and that the company was founded in Venezuela to help its former president, Hugo Chávez, fix elections.“Executives at all levels of Fox … knowingly opened Fox’s airwaves to false conspiracy theories about Dominion,” the filing states.Murdoch also said in his testimony that it was wrong for Fox hosts to “endorse” lies if they knew them not to be true: “Fox has a role in making sure people can agree on a basic set of facts,” he said last month. “Yes.

Prime News on Wednesday, Feb. 22, where he was asked to comment on the Biden administration’s handling of a train carrying hazardous materials that derailed in eastern Ohio earlier this month.The junior Trump said that “Joe [Biden] doesn’t give a crap” about the environmental turmoil and potential dangers facing the residents of East Palestine, Ohio — who were temporarily forced to evacuate the area after the derailment — and “couldn’t care less” about the situation on the ground.He then shifted the conversation to attack Buttigieg for his handling of the crisis.

Jimmy Kimmel due to the late night host's constant barrage of jokes aimed at the then-President, according to a report.Two former Trump administration officials told Rolling Stone that the POTUS was so incensed with Jimmy's constant jabs that he directed the White House staff to call Disney executives and demand action.One source told the mag that Trump complained the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host was "very dishonest and doing things that [Trump] would have once sued over." Rolling Stone says high ranking people at Disney — which owns ABC, the network Jimmy's show airs on — were confused as to why the leader of the free world was so annoyed at the barbs, particularly given that top politicians have been used as late night fodder for decades.The exact number of calls allegedly placed to Disney executives isn't known. "I do not know to who[m], but it happened. Nobody thought it was going to change anything but DJT was focused on it so we had to do something…It was doing something, mostly, to say to [Trump], 'Hey, we did this,'" a Trumpworld source said. The former POTUS, who famously hates being the punchline, has previously voiced his opinion about late night hosts.

Rupert Murdoch said in a recent deposition that he “would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing” Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 presidential election, conspiracy theories that the Fox Corp. executive chairman at once called “bulls— and damaging.”

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Fox Corp. sought to tamp down furor around a series of implicating quotes and texts culled from corporate executives and Fox News anchors, in the newest filing, part of a closely watched defamation lawsuit from voting-technology firm Dominion Voting Systems. Fox Corp. and Fox News Channel made the case in two filings in the Superior Court in Delaware that many of the colorful utterances from Fox News stars such as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and even some from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch were beyond the scope of Dominion’s case, and urged the court to reject the company’s call for a summary judgement, or a ruling in Dominon’s favor that would negate the need for a trial. Dominion is suing Fox for $1.6 billion in damages it alleges it is owed after Fox News made false claims about the Dominion’s actions and influence on the 2020 election. It is the second legal proceeding made against Fox News for its coverage of the aftermath of the 2020 race for the White House. Smartmatic, a voting technology company, has filed a massive $2.7 billion suit against Fox News. At issue in the suits, are allegations that Fox News falsely claimed the companies had rigged the election, repeated items about the matter and refused to engage in efforts to set the record straight. The 2020 election was not fixed and its results were certified by multiple legal processes.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Bryan Cranston said in an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace that Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan could be received as a “racist remark,” and he asked both Wallace and viewers at home if they’ve ever taken time to consider why that is the case. “The ‘Make America Great Again’ – my comment is: Do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark?” Cranston said. “And most people, a lot of people go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?’ I said, ‘So just ask yourself from, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American? When was it great?’”

As twice-impeached former President Donald Trump continues on his campaign trail in a third attempt at the presidency, “The View” host Alyssa Farah Griffin is pretty sure that he’ll throw the biggest temper tantrum possible if he doesn’t score the 2024 GOP nomination. In fact, she think’s he’ll “burn the entirety” of the party “to the ground.”During Monday’s episode of “The View,” the women kicked off their Hot Topics with a discussion on the possibility of GOP candidates being forced to sign a loyalty pledge in 2024, stating that they’ll support whoever ends up getting the Republican nomination.

Former Republican House speaker Paul Ryan said he won’t attend the 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC) if former president Donald Trump is the party nominee. On Monday, the “Morning Joe” team wondered aloud why more Republicans can’t do the same.“It just looks so easy,” Mika Brzezinski said.

Paris Hilton opened up about having an abortion in her early twenties in a recent interview with Glamour UK, using the opportunity to also discuss political activism – particularly regarding laws hindering a woman's right to choose. "There’s just so much politics around it and all that, but it’s a woman’s body… Why should there be a law based on that? It’s your body, your choice and I really believe in that," she told Glamour UK's Emily Maddick in a piece published last Thursday.  "It’s mind-boggling to me that they’re making laws about what you do with your reproductive health, because if it were the other way around with the guys, it would not be this way at all," Hilton said.

John Oliver started off Last Week Tonight roasting Fox News for the second week in a row. The HBO Max host showed started off by noting that Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg attended the train derailment in Ohio.

“Oh, it’s wonderful to be here in the town of East Palestine, not a great name,” said the James Austin Johnson portrayed Donald Trump tonight kicking off Saturday Night Live. “I’m here and I brought hats, cameras and hats” he added after taking a swipe at Joe Biden for visiting the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this week and had a visit from his own legal troubles.

Katie Reul editor Donald Trump was skewered for his recent press conference in East Palestine, Ohio during the “Saturday Night Live” cold open. Framed as fake C-Span coverage, “SNL” featured player James Austin Johnson embodied the former president as he gave an address to local residents impacted by the recent trail derailment and toxic chemical spill in the area. “I’ve been looking at your river, and it’s so shiny,” Johnson said, impersonating the politician. “I’ve never seen water more beautiful — beautiful rainbows and discoloration. It’s great. It’s wearing makeup, like Fenty beauty water.” Johnson proceeds to shoutout Rihanna for her Feb. 12 halftime show at Super Bowl LVII, commenting on her pregnancy. Regaining focus, Johnson directs blame at the man he identifies as the one true culprit.
