On its surface, actor John Cusack’s Wednesday appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon may have been seen as a laudable tribute to the First Amendment, but given Cusack’s work in trying to thwart the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger simply because he disagrees with Paramount CEO David Ellison’s politics, it was actually an exercise in hypocrisy. Unfortunately, Fallon failed to…

All is not well in liberal Hollywood. After a blue state coalition led by California essentially folded by allowing the Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger to proceed: several celebrities, led by actors Mark Ruffalo and Jane Fonda, voiced their displeasure at state officials for caving.

Ever since President Trump banned MS NOW, CNN, and Politico from the White House, there has been plenty of rhetoric from the media about how the First Amendment says that politicians do not get to pick on who reports on them or to say what is fake news and what isn’t. However, on Tuesday’s Money, Power, Politics, MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle lamented that a California-led coalition of blue…

Season 28 of CBS’s popular summer reality competition show Big Brother is still in full swing, but MMA fighter Kamuela "Kamu" Kirk, who was criticized as “homophobic” for not wanting to wear drag, lost his shot at the $750k prize in a surprise twist that cost him the game. Surprisingly, however, he gave glory to God just before his eviction and the show’s host Julie Chen Moonves cited…

At the start of the second week of his new MS NOW daytime show, former NBC White House correspondent and current State of Play host Peter Alexander worried for the future of CNN amid a possible merger between Warner Bros. Discovery, which currently oversees CNN, and Paramount, which oversees CBS. 

CBS’s popular summer reality/game show Big Brother is famous for the phrase, “expect the unexpected.” But season 28’s surprise didn’t come in the form of a shocking rule change or last-minute twist. Instead, it happened off-air during the show's 24/7-hour live feeds when contestant Kamu Kirk, an MMA fighter, dared to proclaim he doesn’t want to dress in women’s clothing, leading some to call…

Stephen Colbert began the final episode of CBS’s The Late Show by unwittingly highlighting how it all went wrong. Colbert told the audience that he viewed his show as “the joy machine” and that he thought his job was to “feel the news with you,” even if it was not actually that joyful. Later, during a sci-fi skit about the show being sucked into a black hole, Colbert was joined once again by…

It’s obvious where Hollywood stands on illegal immigration as evidenced by celebrity rantings at the Grammys and Golden Globes and in shows such as Grey’s Anatomy and The Pitt which attempt to sway viewers with anti-ICE storylines. Now, CBS’s reboot of the beloved classic hit Matlock is inserting itself into Hollywood’s Liberal Virtue Signaling and Brainwashing Club™ with its own anti-ICE…

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart works for a network that openly presents itself as an outlet for progressives, but when he joined Friday’s PBS News Hour to discuss Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros.—which would include CNN—Capehart hilariously claimed “that the media isn't necessarily liberal.”

Status founder Oliver Darcy lost his noodle Thursday night in his newsletter over Netflix backing out of its proposal to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery and its litany of properties that include CNN, paving the way for the bid from David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance (which includes CBS). Darcy argued “CNN staffers have every reason to be worried” and predicted it’ll undergo a “MAGA-fication”…

In his indispensable Wednesday night dispatch at Puck News, Dylan Byers reported on the latest inside CBS News following layoffs of nearly 100 people and suggesting there’s more than smoke to rumors of editor-in-chief Bari Weiss expressing interest in having 60 Minutes correspondent/CNN host Anderson Cooper become the next CBS Evening News anchor.

Wednesday was a grim day at CBS News as reportedly around 100 people were axed as part of wider layoffs numbering 2,000 people across its parent company Paramount Skydance. The ranks of those let go were vast and deep with both remaining CBS Saturday Morning hosts shown the door, correspondents with decades of experience (and all women), and even two entire shows.

In his podcast Power Lines posted on Friday, Status founder, former CNN media reporter, and far-left defender Oliver Darcy and sidekick Jon Passantino descended into some cartoonish smears of Bari Weiss taking over as CBS News editor-in-chief, casting doubt on The Free Press’s success and arguing they have not seen any evidence to support Weiss’s claim the far-left hates America.
