Fianna Fáil confirms Yates provided four hours of interview and debate training to Jim Gavin Housing Minister James Browne confirms he has also received media training from Yates Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan says "nothing improper" in Fianna Fáil retaining the services of broadcaster Coimisiún na Meán now wants answers from RTÉ and Newstalk on Yates's on-air activities

Seven million Americans disproved the lie that these rallies were "Hate America." The Walnut Creek rally I attended was jammed with peaceful protesters showing they love America. They want decency, the Constitution and the rule of law. They don't want a country that is anti-science, anti-health and anti-democracy - and sicker because of it. Climate change is a prime example, a human health emergency, yet this administration is stomping out science and hiding the data, while dismantling the democracy we depend on to change direction.

When it comes to the appearance of conflict, I am not an ideal owner of The Post.

While the ambition is admirable, the cost estimates reportedly exceeding $7bn annually rest on optimistic assumptions about eliminating waste and raising revenue through new taxes, De Blasio apparently said of Mamdani's plans to the UK newspaper the Times, in an article published on Tuesday. In my view, the math doesn't hold up under scrutiny, and the political hurdles are substantial.

Free access to information is a pillar that upholds the edifice of our societies, and for this reason, we are called to defend and guarantee it,

If today we know what is happening in Gaza, Ukraine and every other land bloodied by bombs, we largely owe it to them, Pope Leo said, according to the Associated Press. These extraordinary eyewitness accounts are the culmination of the daily efforts of countless people who work to ensure that information is not manipulated for ends that are contrary to truth and human dignity.

We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bullsh*t. Not even Black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English.

Guardian journalist Nick Davies appears on the Today programme to promote his 2008 book, Flat Earth News. It is an indictment of the contemporary British press; its sloppiness and corruption. The logic of journalism has been overwhelmed by the logic of commercialism, he tells the host and a glowering Stuart Kuttner, the managing editor of the News of the World. Nowadays, says Davies, so-called reporters are simply passive processors of unchecked second-hand material.

There are many, many important questions to ask about ABC's indefinite "suspension" of the late-night show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, which is being celebrated in MAGA-land as an important landmark on the road to a purged and intimidated entertainment industry. It draws attention to the FCC as an instrument for state-sponsored censorship, and the dubious ethics of media moguls eager to curry favor with the Trump administration and avoid trouble.

In the days following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the New York Post's coverage repeatedly cast transgender people as central to the violence, leaning on anonymous sources and unverified leaks from law enforcement, some of which Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and investigators have since contradicted. The effect has been to paint a target on a community already living under intensifying political scrutiny and cultural hostility.

As Jim Gavin stumbles over Gaza, RTÉ was so pleased with its Eurovision ultimatum that it became the lead item on the Six One News RTÉ needed a break. Joe Duffy is gone. Claire Byrne is ­going. So it pulled a rabbit out of the hat last week. On Thursday, it announced, with much fanfare, that if Israel is at the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Ireland will pull out.

This week, Amazon announced it was developing a series based on the trial of Karen Read. Elizabeth Banks is set to star, with The Sex Lives of College Girls producer Justin Noble showrunning and David E. Kelly serving as executive producer. The show's logline says it will examine "society's obsession with true crime, the allure of conspiracy, and the deepening crisis of trust in our institutions."

The proportion of children saying they have seen pornography online has risen in the past two years, with most likely stumbling upon it accidentally.

On the occasion of the wrestling star's death this week, the unexpected though not always unintended consequences have never felt more clear, though their enduring and pernicious impact on Kotaku may seem less obvious.

Most notable is the $16 million settlement by Paramount Global to the Trump administration over a lawsuit regarding a 60 Minutes story, raised allegations of fraud against CBS News.

The New York Times' report on Zohran Mamdani's Columbia application raises questions about the credibility of its sources, particularly in relation to scientific racism.

Paramount has argued that it did nothing wrong. Regardless, the company likely decided to settle because it is currently awaiting approval from the Federal Communications Commission for its proposed merger with Skydance Media.

Gossip columns are often seen as bottom feeding, rotting your brain by indulging in speculation about celebrities' personal lives, as evidenced by the recent Premier League rumor.

The remarks I made about Stephen Miller were true and strongly felt, reflecting my stance against the intolerance prevalent in our political discourse.

Homan criticized Soboroff for allegedly editing an interview to imply he threatened to arrest Governor Newsom, denying he ever made such a threat.
