It’s difficult to believe that anyone actually watches The View. For those who follow the media industry, it’s probably a matter of just hearing about the latest cat fight on the dreary ABC daytime talk show and then checking out the clip on social media.

Contemporary “Journalism” is Not A-OK
As we enter 2020 and a new decade, media pundits among the blue-check Twitter brigade should strongly consider making a new year’s resolution to avoid rushing to judgment with hot takes that can sometimes ruin lives.
Year-end is a time for reflection and all sorts of lists. With that in mind, the Daily Caller compiled a list of what it considers the greatest, i.e., the worst, hate crime hoaxes of 2019 that the mainstream media pushed as legit. See the video embedded below.
With much of the bandwidth consumed by impeachment, it may be instead worth discussing an issue that hits much closer to home, with ramifications for public health.
Gerry Callahan sat down this morning with former radio partner Kirk Minihane on the irreverent Kirk Minihane Show podcast, a daily offering that is part of the Barstool Sports network, to discuss his new venture.
Mike Francesa, the iconic sports radio host, has announced he is leaving his drive-time platform after ruling the New York City airwaves for about 30 years on WFAN (660 AM, 101.99 FM), now owned by Entercom, by the end of the year.
There must have been a lot of curiosity seekers for Megyn Kelly’s first television interview since parting ways with NBC News in January 2019. As a result, her appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight generated huge ratings. About four million viewers watched the Fox News Channel interview conducted by Carlson with the former NBC Today show host, and prior to that, the anchor of FNC’s The Kelly File.
As a business mogul, U.S. President Donald Trump sued people and got sued. He often won either in court or via out-of-court settlements (the latter process which resolves most lawsuits). In the aftermath of a series of undercover videos released by muckraker James O’Keefe and the Project Veritas crew, the Trump campaign says it intends to sue CNN, whose motto probably should be revised to “the most dis-trusted name in news.”
Andrea Tantaros, the Tied Up in Knots author, is still trying to tie the Fox News Channel up in court. With her huge fan-base popularity at the time, Tantaros would have been the logical choice to replace Kimberly Guilfoyle as co-host of The Five after KG left the show to work on the Trump reelection campaign. Unfortunately, Fox News suspended Tantaros with pay in late April 2016 and parted ways with her in October of that year. Except for a Good Morning America appearance, the ex-Outnumbered panelist has essentially been absent from television ever since.
If you’re one of the dwindling number of CNN prime-time viewers, or you’ve been stuck watching the force-fed network at an airport, you’ve probably noticed that anchor Chris Cuomo appears to be in the late stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
