Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Do not fall for A.I.-generated Whoopi Goldbergs selling diet drugs.
Uh-oh, fans of Celebrity IOU are onto the fact that the “surprise” renovations aren’t surprises at all. What industry secret is next, that reality shows are edited and sometimes staged? They use lighting and makeup? Sometimes things are scripted?
Netflix is cutting ties with their Emilia Perez star, Karla Sofia Gascon, ahead of the Oscars, I guess in an attempt to salvage whatever awards they can.
The Hollywood Reporter has a bunch of Severance merch you can buy from the likes of Etsy, Redbubble and Amazon and all I’m saying, Apple, is that you should check out what HBO is doing with their store, because y’all are leaving money on the table.
PolUGHtics
CBS has handed over to the FCC both unedited transcripts and video of their 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris that made President Toddler wet his pants with illegitimate claims that they altered her answers.
Via The Wrap, this is the difference in Harris’ answers in response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
Edited: “We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”
Original: “Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. And we’re not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”
“This was Election-changing ‘stuff,’ Election Interference and, quite simply, Election Fraud at a level never seen before,” he added. “CBS should lose its license, and the cheaters at ’60 Minutes’ should all be thrown out, and this disreputable ‘NEWS’ show should be immediately terminated.”
Unfortunately, if ABC News’ behavior is any precedent, there’s a chance Paramount might try to settle with him because they are on the verge of a huge merger/sale and they are terrified the administration might prevent it from moving forward. It’s a precarious time for the independence of the news media, which leads me to the next link:
This is a long but important piece examining why liberals and the left are furious with the media, and why the media seems to be trying to placate fascists.
It also helps explain why people are starting to return to MSNBC (as I thought they might).
No, Elon, USAid did not pay for Ben Stiller or any other celebrities to go to Ukraine, you fucking Russian propagandist.
And no, Elon, Politico Pro subscriptions are not a frivolous expense for government employees, it’s actually a professional resource, you fucking tool.
Amber Ruffin jokingly blames Seth Meyers for all ~gestures broadly at everything~ this.
“I am a writer on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers.’ Seth Meyers is a friend of mine. He got us into this mess. It’s his fault,” Ruffin joked of the late night host’s political impact. “When you’re looking for someone to blame, blame my boss.”
“No, he did what he had to do. Like, you can’t, it can not be your job to razz people and then this man comes along and is like, ‘I’m going to be president.’ You have to laugh!” Ruffin said. “And I mean, ultimately, joke’s on us, isn’t it?”
Indeed. The joke is definitely on us.
