Hello and goodbye.

I'm sure CNN will be glad to hire Mitt's niece though.

CNN apologises for pager comment by conservative panellist to Mehdi Hasan

Ryan James Girdusky removed from NewsNight show after telling fellow guest ‘I hope your beeper doesn’t go off’

"I thought you said Hamas" yeah because Palestinian and Hamas sound exactly alike? Fuck off.

CNN have conservatives on every day who say awful shit and get away with it. At least this guy is being removed.
 
Joy Reid's show finally cancelled by MSNBC. Never could stand her and found her to be a huge hypocrite with how she handled her controversy about her statements about gay people.

Good riddance.
 
I know it's still 1993 to some but, for those here in 2025, it might be time to stop putting a camera and microphone in front of James Carville.
 
It's easily on the short list along with things like the willful collaboration and blind eye on behalf of the FBI and CIA during the Cold War or in the build up to Iraq etc.
 

media cowardice continues. I was talking with @tekcop about how the media does a terrible job confronting this shit last night. I understand people are afraid of losing their jobs but the GOP is winning in part because the media either plays both sides or allows their narrative to go completely unchecked.
 
And why should he? Corpse removal would create so many new jobs in America's largest cities. Think big.

Larry Ellison discussed axing CNN hosts with White House in takeover bid talks

Exclusive: Senior officials indicated favorability toward Paramount Skydance acquiring Warner Bros Discovery

As the FCC writes to the BBC saying "you used our own words against us so give us money," any suspense about who's buying WBD is destroyed as soon as Dear Leader heard he could get rid of more TV people he didn't like and that 60 Minutes could get sentenced to cable death.

They got Kristen Bell out here like, "Y'all got me fucked up!"

Not just her but multiple celebrities. It sounds like the issue is more they did it for a specific project 15 years ago and then Fox decided, "Let's just re-purpose it for this new project," while trying to downplay how old the audio actually was to capitalize on their celebrity status now.

Bari Weiss to moderate CBS News town hall with Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk

Exclusive: event, scheduled to air on 13 December, will focus on ‘grief, faith, politics, and more’, according to internal files

I'm actually surprised nobody seems to be talking about how Bari Weiss is essentially turning CBS News into Fox News or CNN lite. Here's a good article about her in case anyone's curious/doesn't know who she is

Because it doesn’t really matter. The established news media ecosystem is dead. Everyone is end running around it. Regular people don’t watch CBS for news anymore, they watch some streamer on their phone. Bari Weiss is just driving the nails into CBS coffin a little more quickly.

It’s unfortunate because in an ideal world established media collapsing would lead to people spending less time consuming news, more time doing something valuable. Instead it leads to viewers watching more extremism because they find those ‘pundits’ presenting that to be more charismatic, less robotic, and talk more like real people than people on television.
