Comfortably seated in her home on a chalk-colored couch adorned with navy blue pillows, Cassie Clark, an influencer who makes North Carolina-centered content, recalled the moment a man was “berating” her in front of her teenage daughter for wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt. “He started just berating me that Charlie Kirk didn’t like people like him. Every time I would try to respond, he would start speaking over me,” Clark told Fox News Digital. “Rather than waiting on his group to come downstairs, he ended up walking across the street and sitting at the post office because he didn’t want to…
Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather criticized CBS News on Thursday for making journalist Bari Weiss its editor-in-chief, as well as acquiring her independent news outlet, “The Free Press.” Rather, age 93, argued on his Substack page that the hiring of the anti-woke reporter, as well as CBS coming under the control of billionaire David Ellison – whose father is a friend of President Donald Trump – meant that CBS News will be catering to the Trump agenda. “The American people will pay the price for this move, as will the journalists of CBS News who can no longer credibly…
The list of suitors for Warner Bros. Discovery is poised to get longer – with possible bidders that include cable-TV giant Comcast, On The Money has learned. As first reported by The Post, Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison is in talks with private equity giants including Apollo Global Management to join a possible bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – a megadeal that could be worth more than $60 billion. Sources said Ellison is casting for alternative sources of cash amid doubts whether his dad Larry Ellison – the second-richest person in the world – is enthusiastic about opening his checkbook for…
After spending most of her first week on the job quietly observing, CBS News’ new editor in chief Bari Weiss spoke up at the network’s Thursday editors’ meeting — and the topic was the Israel-Hamas peace deal, The Post has learned. Weiss — the scrappy, 41-year-old journalist who was tapped to lead CBS News’ coverage starting Monday — had been relatively quiet during the network’s 9 a.m. daily editorial meetings this week, but on Thursday morning she was “making her presence known,” a source said. “She was vocal on the bookings for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire,” the source said, directing people…
Luxury giant Saks Global has sued the publisher of Puck News, claiming that the site failed to disclose a reporter’s “conflict of interest” as he churned out a series of negative “hit pieces” on the company that have allegedly cost it hundreds of millions of dollars. The owner of Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus alleges that Puck News columnist William D. Cohan — whose books have included “House of Cards” about the 2008 financial crisis — penned a series of articles this year that falsely suggested the privately owned retailer would file for bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the suit claims, Puck…
A matriarch of the Rothschild banking dynasty is selling her family’s shares in The Economist, according to a new report. British-American businesswoman and philanthropist Lynn Forester de Rothschild has put the family’s entire 26.7% stake in the influential magazine up for sale, Axios reported. The Rothschilds’ shares in The Economist are worth an estimated $537 million, according to the news site. That would put the high-end valuation of the entire magazine at around $1.1 billion. The sale process formally launched Monday night in London and is being led by Lazard, the investment bank advising the family on the deal, sources…
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins admitted Donald Trump has “embraced” the media in ways other presidents have not during an interview Monday. Collins appeared on Jason Tartick’s podcast “Trading Secrets,” where she discussed her experience covering the White House. Though she has only covered two presidents in her role as White House correspondent, Collins remarked that even veteran reporters have said Trump changed the media dynamic. “When you speak to reporters who covered President Obama, he almost never responded to shouted questions,” Collins said. “It wasn’t his thing. He would have his moments with world leaders, and then you would leave the Oval.…
President Trump has expressed his shock at the stabbing and arrest of Mark Sanchez, describing him as “a nice guy,” but adding that “something a little crazy” happened to the former Jets quarterback. Sanchez, 38, was hospitalized early Saturday morning after being stabbed in the chest following an altercation with a grease truck driver outside an Indianapolis bar. Trump said he knew the Fox Sports analyst and was stunned to hear the news of the attack and subsequent felony charges. “He’s a nice guy. I don’t know what happened. Something bad happened. Something a little crazy happened,” Trump told Newsmax’s…
At 43 years old, married and a national cable-TV anchor, I still call my dad every evening to say good night — and that’s after having talked a few times during the day. It’s because my dad is my best and was for a long time only friend. When I was diagnosed in elementary school with what we now know to be autism, my father quit his job and became a full-time parent/coach/friend. It was, as he describes it, my only hope. He felt hopeless and helpless, with good reason. The psychologist who tested me told him there’s “generally not”…
President Donald Trump is reportedly in talks with CBS News to do an interview with “60 Minutes” — the same show he sued over its sit-down with Kamala Harris that he claimed was deceptively edited. The White House is demanding that CBS News air the interview with Trump unedited, according to the Semafor news site. Bill Whitaker, the “60 Minutes” correspondent who conducted the Harris interview that led to parent company Paramount paying Trump a $16 million sum to settle the lawsuit, will handle the segment with the president, Semafor reported. White House officials initially discussed a sitdown last Friday…
Bill Maher ripped former Vice President Kamala Harris for blaming everyone else in her new book for her own shortcomings and failed presidential campaign. “The Real Time with Bill Maher” host accused Harris of playing victim over naming her first-person memoir, which tackled her abbreviated White House campaign, “107 Days,” where she notably targeted former President Biden and running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. “It should’ve been called ‘Everyone Sucks But Me,’”Maher quipped during the show, which aired on Friday night. “She only had 107 days to win. Yeah, and a billion and a half dollars, and a built-in army…
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) spokesman Andrew Kolvet said he’s “relieved” Jimmy Kimmel is back on air — not because he agrees with the ABC host’s controversial comments, but because he believes cancellation would have made the liberal comic a martyr. Kimmel was famously sidelined by Disney last month after he falsely suggested that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination, was part of the “MAGA gang.” The remarks drew intense backlash from conservatives, along with a veiled threat from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), but Kimmel’s benching didn’t even last a week and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was able to return to air…
