The Dodgers are able to keep an additional $66 million every year because of how their TV deal is structured with MLB. When the organization filed for bankruptcy in 2011, the league agreed to lock in a fair market value for the rights of Dodgers baseball.

From night one, the flagship broadcast of the Eye's news division has been marred by technical mess-ups, bizarre attempts to suck up to the Trump administration, low-key humiliation by President Trump, and an anchor who seems to think he has earned the right to pontificate at the end of the show like he's a latter-day Cronkite.

Two years ago at MIPCOM, Facebook released a new set of APIs for media partners in attempt to capture more of the real time conversation around TV. Since then, Facebook has made its presence felt on red carpets, backstage, and even on TODAY, where the show's Orange Room leverages Facebook's 'trending' data in segments. Today at MIPCOM, Facebook is announcing new tools for broadcasters and fans that center on the participatory aspects of live TV.
Weiss originally postponed the segment because she believed, at present, we do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who reported on the story, was furious slamming the move as a political decision and arguing that Weiss's reasoning was flawed.

Of course I want you watching CNN and I want you listening to me on SiriusXM, but, my God, use the clicker.
