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.
For most Americans, radio host Howard Stern most likely ceased to be particularly relevant once he went behind the SiriusXM satellite paywall in 2006. Radio Gunk is still listening, though, “so you don’t have to.”
Kirk Minihane is mad as hell and won’t take it anymore. The former host of the top-rated Kirk and Callahan morning-drive show on Boston sports radio station WEEI announced an embargo on releasing any already-taped “Enough About Me” podcasts or any new content until Entercom management launches his long-promised new show on the clunky Radio.com app.
Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano went from a pro-Trump libertarian to a vocal Never Trumper who has criticized the president for โimmoralโ and โcondemnableโ conduct as portrayed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. With the ascendancy of the Murdoch bros, Fox News is moving liberal outside of prime time. Maybe the ex-judge changed his tune for a paycheck; in addition to several anchors on Fox, lots of Trump bashers who regularly appear CNN and MSNBC have done the same. It also wouldn’t be the first time since Donald Trump won the White House that a personal vendetta masquerades as news analysis, if not fake news.
U.S. President Donald Trump was voluntarily absent from the head table on Saturday night at the Washington Hilton Hotel ballroom. And you can add this to the list of Trump administration accomplishments: In removing himself from the guest list, the president rendered the so-called nerd prom — the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner– irrelevant by boycotting the “once ultra-trendy, star-studded” event for three consecutive years.
The irreverent Turtleboy Sports blog is definitely not for everyone. The muckraking, adult content is often vulgar, but its slick writers could even give the clever New York Post headline writers some pointers. The entertaining and provocative Massachusetts-based blog focuses mainly on municipal corruption, felonious activity, and welfare cheats rather than sports. No surprise that the blog has broken stories that initially escaped the notice of the mainstream media. Like it or agree with its content or not, the future of Turtleboy Sports, and its slightly toned down TB Daily News version, has emerged as an online free speech issue.
In a lengthy, skillfully written article, a liberal Trump foe writes that MSNBC’s Russia-collusion-obsessed Rachel Maddow can be as “bonkers” as chalkboard-loving Glenn Beck.
