Here's what we told Fox News in response to this bad-faith attempt at undermining our journalism:

"The suggestion that Status would soften its coverage to appease an advertiser is categorically false and insulting. Status has never tailored its journalism for any sponsor, and we never will..."

Fox News thinks they got us because they noticed MS NOW advertised on @status.news.

Newsflash to Fox News: Every major media organization takes advertisements to support their journalism.

This is not a new concept!

“How her relationship to Kennedy became public is not entirely clear.”

Uhh, what? Do we need to buy the @nytimes.com a @status.news subscription?

If Nick Fuentes got "radicalized on race" by Mark Levin, imagine where the new generation will be, listening to the likes of Tucker Carlson & Nick Fuentes.

Tucker Carlson has a lengthy history pulling people from the fringes into the MAGA mainstream.

Now he's trying to do that with white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Donald Trump has spent years calling Comcast chief Brian Roberts a "lowlife" & insulting the company as "Concast."

And what does Roberts do in return? Write Trump a ballroom check.

Apple Mail continues to be the worst email app for performing the basic task of ... searching one's inbox.

When I search for nearly any term, it just does this endlessly and never returns any results.

“Malone and his ilk want journalists to go easier on Trump, fact-checking him less frequently so that his flood of lies appears no worse than the occasional missteps of Democrats. That might seem like balance to Malone, but it's really a false illusion of it.” www.status.news/p/john-malon...

Here's the joint statement from the TV networks, including Fox News, rejecting Pete Hegseth's Pentagon rules.

News: The Pentagon has sent out its revised rules to reporters who wish to have building access. The new rules say that even soliciting tips on social media is grounds for losing badge access, per a copy I've obtained. More in tonight's edition of @status.news. Subscribe: www.status.news/subscribe

Instead of MAGA Media personalities telling their followers that "the left" is at war with them, imagine if they linked arms with progressives & delivered a unified message.

On one hand, Paramount says it needs to be financially disciplined, and thus must cut people like Stephen Colbert.

On the other hand, it goes out and spends an absurd amount of money to buy Bari Weiss' The Free Press.

Trump's health issues—and his attempt to cover them up—are literally visible on camera.

And yet, the same press that went aggressively after Biden is choosing not to give the story real attention.
