Pickard: That’s right. And we know that’s a problem. Again, most democracies refer to this as media pluralism. In the United States, we’ve called it media diversity. This idea that if you have just a few people controlling so much of what we see and hear and read in our media, that’s not good for […]

“They have talent. They have talent. The great Gary Player, he hits shots. He’s 90 years old. He still plays good. Shot a 70 with me the other day. He’s 90. We’re playing pretty far back too. He’s incredible. You think [Joe] Biden could do that? I don’t think so. Can’t, can’t lift the club,” […]

When Reuters journalists asked about the department, which set out to reduce government spending but fell short on its promises while creating chaos in the federal workforce, the Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor said, “That doesn’t exist.” DOGE is no longer a “centralized entity,” he added. The Trump administration has been signaling the […]

All of this took place in July, with Greene’s friend calling 911 claiming the two had been ambushed by three men on a hiking trail in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey.

When asked on 60 Minutes about pardoning Zhao, Trump replied: “OK, are you ready? I don’t know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that, and I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.” The president then launched into an extended rant that was cut from the official version, […]

In the United States, the Ellisons are trying to play a similar role, gobbling up as many outlets as they can to build a mass media and entertainment empire that will keep growing larger—as long as Ellison keeps placating the president. At CBS News, they have already begun to do that, purchasing the anti-woke outlet […]

Enter a new brand of conservatism. Weiss and her allies don’t generally identify as conservative or Republican. (She has described herself as “politically homeless.”) They aren’t conservative Christians opposed to gay marriage, abortion, and immigration. In fact, Weiss is married to a woman. So they are to the left of where the average Trump voter […]

As the internet became ever-present and universal, as digital and other technology moved rapidly in the communications sphere, the place and vibrancy—and bottom line—of the most venerable sources of news and information eroded and then collapsed. The New York Times leadership was smart enough to diversify, finding other business avenues, from puzzles to consumer information, […]

Joining them, former Representative Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts, the health secretary’s nephew, took to X Friday, calling his uncle “a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American,” who has chosen to “dismiss science, mislead the public, sideline experts and sow confusion.” “None of us will be spared the pain he is inflicting.

This is certainly an “only in America” story, but I do not mean that in the normal, heroic sense. I mean it in the creepy, corporate, it’s-all-about-profit sense. CBS began life in 1927 as a radio network, expanding into television as that medium grew. It had entertainment and news divisions, and later sports; its news […]

The venerable media brands of CBS, Paramount, and Viacom shared a history as pioneering entrepreneurs that actually wandered into each other’s paths repeatedly. They also shared histories of early innovation followed by decades of palace intrigue, succession battles, organizational churning, and strategic atrophy. CBS was founded in 1927 as a radio network by a talent […]

The Georgia Republican has joined hands with a dozen other lawmakers in a bipartisan effort—H.Res.581, dubbed the Epstein Files Transparency Act—to make the Epstein case files publicly available.

Edwards had said moments earlier that anyone interested in seeing the book could simply reach out to Epstein’s executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, and, “If they didn’t just voluntarily turn over the book out of fear of reprisal, Congress could issue a subpoena to their attorneys at Patterson or at Troutman—those are the two […]

Taylor Sheridan’s recent 1923 finale left an unusual dearth of new seasons from the Yellowstone creator.

MobLand somehow hasn’t been renewed yet, but give it time. There’s virtually no way that Paramount will pass up the chance for more of Tom Hardy as a fixer when Hardy has expressed enthusiasm to continue portraying Harry Da Souza, and Helen Mirren digs embodying Maeve because “she absolutely doesn’t give a sh*t… It was […]
