"As of today, I am editor-in-chief of CBS News, working with new colleagues on the programs that have impacted American culture for generations shows like 60 Minutes and Sunday Morning and shaping how millions of Americans read, listen, watch, and, most importantly, understand the news in the 21st century," Weiss wrote in a Monday letter to readers. It's a significant step in the meteoric rise of the 41-year-old journalist and entrepreneur, who spent years as an op-ed editor at the Wall Street Journal and New York Times before her emphatic disavowal of traditional media organizations.

In 2018, Bari Weiss, then an opinion columnist at the Times, wrote about the so-called Intellectual Dark Web, a loose "alliance of heretics" who were "making an end run around the mainstream conversation." Adherents were photographed for the article in literally dark settings: glowering out from under an umbrella, perched amid mossy branches, standing half-obscured by bushes. Though they came from different ideological backgrounds, Weiss wrote, these figures-including Eric Weinstein, the managing director of Peter Thiel's venture-capital fund, who had "half-jokingly" coined the movement's name;

The NYT Opinions editors told me to my face that my anti-Hamas and pro-peace views aren't representative of Palestinians and are therefore unworthy of being featured in an opinion op-ed despite trying repeatedly to publish a piece there about Hamas's horrendous behavior and how Palestinians in Gaza are not supportive of the terror group. Instead, they are rolling out the red carpet for this individual

MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell went off on the press over their lack of outrage over what he called President Donald Trump's publicly flaring madness this week. O'Donnell has consistently called out what he sees as Trump's growing incapacity, growing to a crescendo this week amid a series of escalating stumbles, a speech to military leaders, and social media antics around the government shutdown.

I wasn't born to play full-back, I didn't grow up playing there. It was an emergency situation.

On Sunday night, the league announced that Bad Bunny would do the honors at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Spanish-language rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, triggered a wave of criticism from the right over his criticism of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Bad Bunny has said he does not tour in the 50 states because agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement might be present to look for undocumented immigrants attending his shows.

People have been quoting to me so often, and for so long, that even if I don't recognize the quote, I am able to recognize that it's from . When I do recognize the quote, it's not because I've seen that episode, but that so many people have quoted it before. People quote The Simpsons like it's a secret handshake with the whole world-and at this point, it basically is.

Yes, Jimmy got emotional. So what. He's emotional for himself because he almost torched his entire career. Kimmel is an unrepentant liar who tried to blame Charlie's assassination on the part of the country that just spent the last 2 weeks praying and holding vigils. What he's really saying is that he still thinks it's fair game to slander conservatives. He would rather advance his own political and cultural agenda than confront the truth.

I never imagined it would break through like it has and get under the skin of the president of the United States, said Newsom after being asked about his recent social media posts parodying President Donald Trump. And some of my friends on, you know, Pravda, Fox. Host Stephen Colbert replied, Matter of fact, here we are. I think this is Dana Perino. She's not too thrilled with you.

The comments came as he praised ABC for suspending late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, whose monologue about the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk sparked backlash. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on his return from a state visit to the UK, Trump claimed that about 97% of media coverage of him is negative. He said that network owners currently hold broadcast licences and questioned whether those licences should be "taken away."

Once again, some people some people needs a shock collar. Touching? The guy just murdered another human being. And he is talking about it to his love interest, the senator said. I mean it reminded me of something my dog would bring up, touching? The guy murdered a human being. You know, I try to be tolerant of other points of view I really do. That wasn't touching and no fair minded person can call it touching.

Today I would like to address the tragedy that has not received nearly enough media attention the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska. Here are the facts that many outlets have shamefully and intentionally failed to report until President Trump drew attention to it: on August 22, Zarutska was stabbed to death on the rail system in Charlotte, North Carolina by a savage career criminal. This is a public transportation system that many in the area use every single day to go to school and work.

The two conservative commentators were discussing the Middle East when Knowles mentioned Saint Porphyrius, a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza, which had been damaged by Israeli strikes in October 2023 and in July 2024. I don't understand it. I think it's self-destructive behavior, Carlson said. What I care about is the effect on Christians and that's just not good at all. Knowles, a moment before, said he believed the strike which reportedly killed 18 people, according to Palestinian officials was accidental.

Maybe someone whispered in the branding team's ear: "Put as much daylight as possible between the new brand and Comcast, by making the new name as ridiculous as can be. We want no part of the lefty network." Truthfully, I think Comcast is just another media conglomerate in the bag for . That's just my humble opinion, although there is some reporting around it.

Doocy asked Zelensky a question that was seen by many as parroting Russian talking points, inquiring about the continued conflict in Ukraine.

Netanyahu argued that we have to contend with the campaign of vilification done by so-called reputable news media. He mentioned a New York Times story showcasing a Palestinian mother with a supposedly starved child, claiming the child had cerebral palsy, highlighting the media's misrepresentation of facts. "It takes time. People will see the humanitarian surge. People will see our efforts to prevent civilian casualties," he said, emphasizing that eventually, truth prevails.

The episode follows two different stories: in one, the show's resident bigot, Eric Cartman, is outraged to learn that fellow fourth grader Clyde has risen to prominence as a white nationalist podcaster who makes offensive claims about women, Jewish people, Black people and other minority groups to goad them into debating him in exploitative viral videos.

What I think you're seeing the Trump administration potentially moving toward is claiming she was a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, that she was somehow not a sex trafficker herself, but somebody who was caught up in his crime wave.

Colbert has continued being political following the announcement, knocking Paramount as morally bankrupt over their settlement with Trump. He took that show, which was a great platform in nighttime television at the Ed Sullivan Theater, and completely drove it into the ground, Kelly argued on her show.

Hannity emphasized that newly declassified documents clearly indicate there was no assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election, challenging prior narratives.

Chip Gaines defended same-sex couple Jason and Joe Hanna-Riggs featured in 'Back to the Frontier,' after backlash for including an LGBTQ+ family in the series.

Abrams stated that it is unfair to blame the Trump administration for the tragic flooding, asserting that the National Weather Service's cuts did not significantly hinder their predictive capabilities.
