Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said CNN is rebuilding itself to be a news network that presents “both sides” of every issue rather than an “advocacy network” — comments coming as CNN continues to face a backlash over the town hall with Donald Trump last week. Zaslav, speaking at the MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in New York, said that previously the overall impression of CNN’s brand was “left-leaning.” That’s now changing, he said, citing a new YouGov poll finding an 11-point improvement in U.S. viewers’ trust in CNN. “Our view is, there’s advocacy networks on either side. We have the best journalists in the world. We need to show both sides of every issue,” he said.

a recent Quinnipiac poll, as Pskai pointed out, a whopping 90% of Republicans see the move from DA Alvin Bragg as politically motivated; 70% of independents agree along with 30% of Democrats.“It doesn’t really matter that that is based entirely on the phony claims by leading Republicans,” Psaki said of the poll’s results. “But the thing is, there’s absolutely nothing to gain by adding more fuel to that fire.”Currently, that fire is being fueled by the likes of House speaker Kevin McCarthy, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Trump himself.

who he paid hush money to in 2016.“You know what, we’ve been saying for years that one of these days we’re gonna wake up and Trump will have been arrested for one of these many crimes? Well, that day could be tomorrow. And how do we know that day could be tomorrow? We know that because, on Saturday, Trump, in what seemed to be an effort to rally the troops to protect him, wrote, ‘The far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week.

a statement. “We also agree with what Fox News’s own attorneys and executives have now repeatedly stressed in multiple courts of law: that Tucker Carlson is not credible,” Bates added, referring to testimony stemming from the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox that David Clark, a senior vice president at Fox News, does not consider Carlson a credible source of news.
CNN’s Jake Tapper slammed Fox News on Tuesday after the conservative network aired select clips from about 40,000 hours of Capitol security footage during the events of Jan. 6, 2021. “Fox used the footage given to them exclusively by House speaker Kevin McCarthy to frame a description of the events of Jan.
continue lying to his viewers. So, on Tuesday night, the “Late Night” host showed how easy it is to cherry-pick video footage to create a narrative — using John Wick as an example.On Monday’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Carlson repeated the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, and made multiple false claims related to the Jan.
The chief of Capitol Police blasted Tucker Carlson’s characterization of the January 6th attack on the Capitol, calling the Fox News host’s conclusions “offensive and misleading.”

Dr Dre has sent a cease and desist letter to often controversial US Congress member Marjorie Taylor Greene after she used his track ‘Still DRE’ in a slightly bizarre promotional video on social media.The two minute video shows Greene wandering around the halls of Congress and aims to big up her role in getting fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy elected as speaker of the House Of Representatives last week, a process which proved somewhat eventful.All of this is soundtracked by the very distinct sounds of ‘Still DRE’. Although, Greene herself is keen to stress, only the instrumental elements of the track, none of the words.Addressing the rapper via a statement issued to TMZ, the Trump loyalist stated: “While I appreciate the creative chord progression, I would never play your words of violence against women and police officers, and your glorification of the thug life and drugs”.Of course, just because you appreciate a creative chord progression doesn’t mean you can use it in your political videos without getting permission from the relevant copyright owners.Because, while the use of music at political events gets a little bit complicated because of the blanket licences issued by the music industry’s collecting societies, political videos posted to social media are more straightforward and a sync licence is required.As a stern letter sent by Dre’s legal reps yesterday points out.
