Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said CNN is rebuilding itself to be a news network that presents “both sides” of every issue rather than an “advocacy network” — comments coming as CNN continues to face a backlash over the town hall with Donald Trump last week. Zaslav, speaking at the MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in New York, said that previously the overall impression of CNN’s brand was “left-leaning.” That’s now changing, he said, citing a new YouGov poll finding an 11-point improvement in U.S. viewers’ trust in CNN. “Our view is, there’s advocacy networks on either side. We have the best journalists in the world. We need to show both sides of every issue,” he said.

George Santos is a “dead man walking.” That’s how Brendan Buck, former press secretary to Republican House Speaker John Boehner and current political analyst, described the U.S. representative while on Tuesday night’s episode of “Alex Wagner Tonight.”“The problem is George Santos, as we have seen, is not a stable person,” Buck said.Buck emphasized that most representatives who get into situations where they know they will likely be convicted and “have no future” step down. “I just don’t know that we can trust George Santos is going to see that that clearly.

a recent Quinnipiac poll, as Pskai pointed out, a whopping 90% of Republicans see the move from DA Alvin Bragg as politically motivated; 70% of independents agree along with 30% of Democrats.“It doesn’t really matter that that is based entirely on the phony claims by leading Republicans,” Psaki said of the poll’s results. “But the thing is, there’s absolutely nothing to gain by adding more fuel to that fire.”Currently, that fire is being fueled by the likes of House speaker Kevin McCarthy, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Trump himself.

CNN News Central, the network’s new daytime programming blocks, will begin its roll out next week.

who he paid hush money to in 2016.“You know what, we’ve been saying for years that one of these days we’re gonna wake up and Trump will have been arrested for one of these many crimes? Well, that day could be tomorrow. And how do we know that day could be tomorrow? We know that because, on Saturday, Trump, in what seemed to be an effort to rally the troops to protect him, wrote, ‘The far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week. Protest, take our nation back!'” Kimmel continued.“Well we already did take it back.

“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough railed against House speaker Kevin McCarthy Thursday following news that a Republican-led subcommittee plans to launch an investigation into the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee.The Jan. 6 Committee, which was tasked with investigating the attack on the Capitol that unfolded in response to the results of the 2020 election, expired when Democrats lost control of the House following the midterm elections in November.

a statement. “We also agree with what Fox News’s own attorneys and executives have now repeatedly stressed in multiple courts of law: that Tucker Carlson is not credible,” Bates added, referring to testimony stemming from the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox that David Clark, a senior vice president at Fox News, does not consider Carlson a credible source of news.

CNN’s Jake Tapper slammed Fox News on Tuesday after the conservative network aired select clips from about 40,000 hours of Capitol security footage during the events of Jan. 6, 2021. “Fox used the footage given to them exclusively by House speaker Kevin McCarthy to frame a description of the events of Jan.

continue lying to his viewers. So, on Tuesday night, the “Late Night” host showed how easy it is to cherry-pick video footage to create a narrative — using John Wick as an example.On Monday’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Carlson repeated the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, and made multiple false claims related to the Jan.

The chief of Capitol Police blasted Tucker Carlson’s characterization of the January 6th attack on the Capitol, calling the Fox News host’s conclusions “offensive and misleading.”

Tucker Carlson aired the first clips of January 6th Capitol surveillance footag on Monday, and the Fox News host spent much of the time using clips to downplay the attack on the Capitol and cast doubt on the 2020 presidential election.

After learning that House speaker Kevin McCarthy turned over 41,000 hours of Capitol surveillance footage from Jan. 6 exclusively to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, “The View” host Sunny Hostin speculated Wednesday that he did so at the behest of one of his congressional coworkers.During Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” the hosts unanimously agreed that turning the footage over to Carlson was “dangerous,” because it both exposes where exactly cameras are within the Capitol, and because “it allows Tucker Carlson to invent his own narrative about what happened.”Host Joy Behar argued that, in all likelihood, Carlson and his team are “going to be cherry-picking it in order to, you know, corroborate however they can their absurd conspiracy theories.” That’s when Hostin wondered aloud if McCarthy is allowing this because it was a promise that got him the job in the first place.“I think — well, I don’t want to guess but, you know, he had to make a lot of concessions to become speaker,” Hostin said.

News broke Monday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Fox News host Tucker Carlson exclusive access to 41,000 of surveillance footage from the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol, and Stephen Colbert is very concerned about what message that footage will be used to send.To start with, the “Late Show” host made sure to point out that Carlson himself has cast doubt on the events of Jan.

Carmel Dagan Raquel Welch, the actor who became an icon and sex symbol thanks to films like “One Million Years B.C.” and “Three Musketeers,” has died, her manager confirmed to Variety. She was 82.She came onto the movie scene in 1966 with the sci-fi film “Fantastic Voyage” and the prehistoric adventure “One Million Years B.C.,” the latter of which established Welch as a sex symbol. The actor went on to appear in the controversial adaptation of Gore Vidal’s “Myra Beckrinridge,” “Kansas City Bomber” and Richard Lester’s delightful romps “The Three Musketeers” (1973) and “The Four Musketeers: Milady’s Revenge” (1974). She was one of the first women to play the lead role — not the romantic interest — in a Western, 1971 revenge tale “Hannie Caulder” — an inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” (2003), according to the director.

Dr Dre has sent a cease and desist letter to often controversial US Congress member Marjorie Taylor Greene after she used his track ‘Still DRE’ in a slightly bizarre promotional video on social media.The two minute video shows Greene wandering around the halls of Congress and aims to big up her role in getting fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy elected as speaker of the House Of Representatives last week, a process which proved somewhat eventful.All of this is soundtracked by the very distinct sounds of ‘Still DRE’. Although, Greene herself is keen to stress, only the instrumental elements of the track, none of the words.Addressing the rapper via a statement issued to TMZ, the Trump loyalist stated: “While I appreciate the creative chord progression, I would never play your words of violence against women and police officers, and your glorification of the thug life and drugs”.Of course, just because you appreciate a creative chord progression doesn’t mean you can use it in your political videos without getting permission from the relevant copyright owners.Because, while the use of music at political events gets a little bit complicated because of the blanket licences issued by the music industry’s collecting societies, political videos posted to social media are more straightforward and a sync licence is required.As a stern letter sent by Dre’s legal reps yesterday points out.

A video that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted to her Twitter feed, in which she celebrated the election of Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House and her bonds with the new chamber leader, was pulled from the platform after a copyright complaint from Dr. Dre.

Kevin McCarthy finally got the speakership earlier this morning, but not before a weeklong slog that saw flared tempers, animated huddles and, in the penultimate drama before his moment of victory, a near-brawl.

Kevin McCarthy sought to lock up the votes to be elected speaker of the House as the yet-to-be-sworn-in members elected gathered for a late-night 14th roll call.

News networks again will center their attention on the unfolding drama on Capitol Hill, where Kevin McCarthy and his allies are trying to sway 20 dug-in detractors.
