June 11th, 2016 2:46 PM

What’s trending today? In the Alli Kat Show premiere, Katie Yoder and Alatheia Nielsen discuss this week’s must-know trending culture stories.

The duo, who write for NewsBusters.org of the Media Research Center, first highlighted Hollywood’s depressing new take on love in Me Without You, which Yoder described as a “touching love story of a man who says ‘no’ to the woman of his dreams, and ‘yes’ to assisted suicide.”

Next came a viral story about a mom, Courtney Baker, who refused to follow her doctor’s suggestion to abort her little girl with Down syndrome. 

Last but not least, Americans are still discussing Harambe the gorilla -- and how the broadcast networks spent 6 times more air time on the story than they did Christians beheaded by ISIS last year.
