Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Terry Moran of ABC News — you know, the guy who recently interviewed President Dipshit and embarrassed him by pointing out that he didn’t know what Photoshop was — tweeted some unfortunate but very true things about both President Dum-dum and Stephen Miller:

“The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,” Moran wrote in his since-deleted post. “Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”

Where’s the lie, right? The problem is, Moran is a real journalist, and he’s expected to at least outwardly be objective about the subjects he’s covering. Has that ever stopped Fox News hosts from frothing at the mouth about Democrats? No, of course not. But because ABC is an actual news organization, they have put Moran on suspension for the time being. I agree with everything Moran said; I don’t think he should have said it publicly; I hope he doesn’t get fired; I won’t be surprised if he is.

Meanwhile, the President is weaponizing the National Guard against protestors and threatening to send the military out against them, and reporters are being shot and tear gassed, so all these things are equal, right? (And I know I’m only barely scratching the surface of all the bullshittery that is going on right now, but I’m also on a plane so it might have to wait a second — I promise that this week I will take some Tums and dive in head first.)

Seth Meyers had an idea for the SNL 50th Anniversary special that didn’t get the green light but made a great point nonetheless: “I wanted to have all the impressions of Democratic presidents come out and just thank the liberal institution of SNL,” Meyers explained. He wanted to get the impressionists together to say, “Thanks to your help, we’ve won 6 of 13 elections.”

There it is: Warner Bros. Discovery is going to split into two companies: “one devoted to streaming and content production and one devoted to traditional television.” It’s almost as if creating giant conglomerates that gobble up every available property and lump them altogether with no consideration of what makes them unique or successful isn’t a working strategy or something.

Let the contract negotiations for Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show begin!

The Last of Us creator, Craig Mazin, would like to point out that you can get your Pedro Pascal fix LITERALLY EVERYWHERE ELSE. 

It was Natasha Rothwell’s idea for Belinda to be the brains behind that negotiation in the third season of The White Lotus. Originally, it was going to be all the son’s idea, but she pitched a different story to Mike White, and he listened. I love everything about this.

This does not inspire confidence in me about the next Golden Bachelor:

When asked about his preferences in a partner, age was the first thing Mel referenced.

“I just said, ’45 to 60.’ Just being honest, right?”

Readers, he’s 66.

The fact that any woman — much less another Housewife — would be involved with this man boggles the mind. BOGGLES!

Speaking of, Erika Jayne is not out of the legal woods just yet. 

In your “No duh” news of the day, Miley Cyrus says Disney wouldn’t allow her to perform her Hannah Montana songs when she began her solo career. 

And in your “Are you that stupid” news of the day, Sarah Jessica Parker was “shocked” at how disliked Che Diaz was on And Just Like That … 

Matthew Broderick was nearly your Alex P. Keaton. 

Um …

Between this and agreeing with Clint Eastwood on how movies need to be more original, I worry that I’m actually a director grandpa in my 80s or 90s.
