First reported late Tuesday by Status’s Oliver Darcy and the so-called media reporting class, liberal journalist Paula Reid is set to quit her job “in a few months” as CNN chief legal affairs correspondent because of “concerns” and she has about Paramount Skydance’s pending merger with Warner Bros. Discovery and, thus, has exhibited “discomfort” at working for those dirty, supposed MAGA TV…

Despite having launched November 15 when it chose to identify as MS NOW, the artist formerly known as MSNBC has been making programming changes with a March announcement about a daytime overhaul and now word on Friday from Variety’s Brian Steinberg about its weekend shows. Incredibly, two shows and six hours are being wiped out in favor of more taped podcasts.

Variety reports that Tina Fey talked about the very political sketches on Saturday Night Live at a History Talks event on Saturday. She thought her mockery of Sarah Palin was a "fair hit," and one of her favorite impressions was Matt Damon smearing Brett Kavanaugh as an angry beer-swiller in 2018.

The Hollywood trade publication Variety has demonstrated a dramatic anti-Trump bias – they’d call it an anti-fascist bias. So it was shocking that they published an article under the headline “Stephen Colbert’s Long ‘Late Show’ Goodbye Has Gone From Resistance to Ego Trip.” Enough of Colbert the "beloved national treasure"! 

A founder of the Mexican Communist party.  Does that sound like someone for whom politics in general was incidental? Of course not, but that is how Mexican muralist Diego Rivera is often depicted in the media. As for his sometime wife and lover, Frida Kahlo, she was even more fanatic in her devotion to communism. She was a staunch Stalinist.

Only a handful of right-leaning stories slipped through Google News’s iron grip on information domination. While the tech giant pushed 314 left-leaning stories, its gatekeepers only permitted 11 right-leaning articles to make the occasional appearance in the platform’s morning editions last month.

CBS correspondent Scott MacFarlane revealed shortly after Monday’s CBS Mornings that he was quitting the network in order to embrace “independence” and seek out “new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals,” which will almost certainly include the one thing MacFarlane loves more than just about anything in a weird, crazy-ex-girlfriend manner: January 6.

Following an unscheduled, two-day soft launch thanks to the U.S. military action in Venezuela to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, Monday marked the first official episode of the new CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil that, aside from a teleprompter snafu, came off as refreshingly down-the-middle and normal. One might suggest normal might convey a feeling of boredom or staleness. But…

There's something hilarious in the lefty Hollywood trade magazine Variety channeling George Clooney attacking CBS News as falling apart and apparently not holding Donald Trump accountable. The leftist press never holds George Clooney and his fellow Hollywood Democrats accountable.

The ladies hosting The View are fans of the Paramount+ series Landman. In November of 2024, they were gushing over the star Billy Bob Thornton. So they might be shocked to hear a brutal critique of their show and them coming out of the mouth of his character Tommy Norris.

Writing Thursday night at his newsletter site Status, conservative media Benedict Arnold and former senior CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy threw a fit over the company now overseeing the Golden Globes – Jay Penske’s Penske Media Company (PMC) – allowing conservative and other non-liberal podcasters like Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson to be eligible for a new category for best podcasting.

CNN finally launched on Monday its long-hyped streaming channel entitled CNN All Access, hoping it lives beyond the 32 days its first iteration — CNN+ — lasted and that it won’t lose $300 million. CNN said in a press release their “new All Access subscription tier” will include “access to stream a selection of live channels, a library of award-winning CNN Original Series and CNN Films, day-of…

The headline to Tuesday’s screed in Variety by Michael Schneider, the Hollywood-based entertainment mag’s executive editor for TV, was as subtle as a Michael Bay movie: “As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S., How Will — and Should — the TV Landscape Depict Our Real-Life Horrors?” He wrote: "….Will political dramas depict the crumbling of America’s place and influence in the world? Will…

Before CBS decided to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was pessimistic about the future of the late night comedy show. Now that Colbert has been cancelled, Kimmel is singing a different tune in order to advance the narrative that Colbert’s cancellation had something to do with President Trump and that, actually, the state of late night is quite strong.
