This guy is a whiny baby.

But it shows what happens when you capitulate. He'll expect it again and again.
Trump demands an apology from CBS (or else!) says, "The only reason Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!)."

Not good!
CNBC: Do you think the president embraces the idea of you being the owner of CNN given his criticism for that network?

DAVID ELLISON: Ah -- we've had great conversations with the president about this but I don't want to speak for him in any way, shape, or form

Even Trump knows it's not a real question.
Q: Everyone knows that J6 was a Fed-surrection to set you and your supporters up. What's your gut instinct about the new pipe bomber suspect taken into custody?

TRUMP: I really appreciate that question. It's sort of a statement, and I appreciate it very much. The whole thing was a Democrat hoax.

This guy is awful. And it reveals the issues he's most sensitive about. Keep pushing, good journalists.
Trump to ABC's Rachel Scott: "You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just tell you -- you are an obnoxious-- a terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you. I told you."

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

1) “Kaitlan Collins”
2) she’s smart & nice
3) a legitimate question about construction of a controversial project on WH grounds
4) Thanks for explanation
5) but actually she asked you about Venezuela
6) generally speaking if someone or something is irrelevant, the President doesn’t talk about them

White supremacy from white supremacists.
The Trump administration said Friday that Europe is facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure” and pledged that the U.S. will support like-minded “patriotic” parties across the continent to prevent a future in which “certain NATO members will become majority non-European.”
Trump Administration Says Europe Faces ‘Civilizational Erasure’
America’s goal should be “to help Europe correct its current trajectory,” the administration said in its new National Security Strategy.

Note: Netflix isn't buying CNN.
It made a (so-far) successful bid for Warner Brothers assets.
CNN is part of Discovery Global, to be spun off + sold separately in 2026.
The headlines are confusing.
It's explained here in @brianstelter.bsky.social CNN report on the deal

It would be cool if you could actually visit real people during dreams.

Because I met with Marco Rubio overnight and I gave him an earful for his pathetic support of Trump and I really want that to be real.

The “CBS Evening News” needs a new anchor – and soon.

Maurice DuBois, who has co-anchored the storied broadcast this year alongside John Dickerson, is leaving the network later this month.

Dickerson announced his departure back in October.

Maurice DuBois is leaving CBS News. John Dickerson previously announced he was also leaving. CBS promoted both earlier this year to anchor the CBS Evening News but the format was weird and then new owners took over. A shame that CBS promotes talented people and then discards them.

The @q1043.bsky.social website still says "New York's Classic Rock" but the station has recently started referring to itself as "New York's Rock Station" over the air.

Every day Marco, you remind us of the one thing Trump did do that is worthy of some prize: His nickname for you. “Little Marco.” Trump did get that right. He really did.
