  • ‘There Is No Ceasefire’: Fox’s Jessica Tarlov Paints Grim Picture of Trump...
    Fox News host Jessica Tarlov painted a grim picture of President Donald Trump’s recent deal with Iran, saying on Wednesday, “There is no ceasefire.” Tarlov and her co-hosts on The Five discussed the president’s Tuesday announcement that he had agreed to a two-week pause of hostilities with Iran, hours after Trump threatened that “a whole civilization” would die if a deal was not reached. The particulars of the agreement have already caused widespread confusion, with Iran striking Israel within minutes of Trump’s announcement, Iran accusing the U.S. of violating the terms of the deal, and Israel launching strikes against Lebanon, which may or may not have gone against the ceasefire terms. When co-host Greg Gutfeld asked Tarlov for her take on the deal, Tarlov called the two-week pause “a complete fiction,” claiming that even many supporters of the president saw the clear flaws in the agreement. Read her remarks below: I stand, I think, in reality that there is no ceasefire. I was watching coverage of this last night, flipping around, obviously watching your show, Jesse [Watters], and perusing some other channels, and there were split screens between, you know, “White House announces ceasefire” and missiles raining down on the Israelis. We know that Israel was sending rockets back to Iran. We know what today has looked like in Lebanon with what the Israelis are doing there. It’s one of the highest death toll days. So, the ceasefire was a complete fiction. And what J.D. Vance is saying and the White House now, Karoline Leavitt, that those ten points were completely unacceptable, that’s only because some of the biggest boosters of the administration came out and said, “Are you kidding me? Look at what you are agreeing to.” Like Mark Levin, who has obviously been very close to this process, he took what “Fox & Friends” had put up this morning and said these ten points are a disaster. Last night, Larry Kudlow asked on social media, “Is this what we want?” The deal, the ten points they sent in response to our 15 points, allow them, as Dana [Perino] said, to control the Strait of Hormuz and decide what they charge. So, that could be $2 million per tanker, and they split that with the Omanis, or then the FT this morning reported a proposal to do $1 for every barrel, and they want to be paid in crypto, which would be untraceable, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • Dielectric Highlights RingMaster at NAB Show
    The antenna bound for Bonneville’s site in Utah is reviewed at a Dielectric factory event lin 2025. Dielectric will feature its new RingMaster Series of high-efficiency FM antenna systems at the NAB Show. It previewed these antennas last year and started shipping them last summer. Dielectric will offer simulations and examples of installations in the United States and the Bahamas. Among them: Bonneville International is using a RingMaster antenna for a 13-station system at Farnsworth Peak, Utah. And Vertical Bridge installed a RingMaster auxiliary system at Cedar Hill, Texas, to transmit FM and HD Radio signals for 10 stations serving the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The manufacturer says the new line combines the performance of its DCR Series with an architecture that provides an economical, efficient and adaptable solution for side-mounted FM systems. Dielectric says they use up to 1/3 fewer components. “Integrating both full and half-wavelength spaced arrays, RingMaster allows broadcasters to achieve full FM bandwidth performance, something previously associated with half-wave spacing only,” it states. It cites lightweight construction that helps with tower loading, structural concerns and installation complexities. “The flexible design also introduces controlled elevation pattern shaping, providing customers flexibility and improved signal uniformity across the coverage area.” NAB Show Booth: C1446   The post Dielectric Highlights RingMaster at NAB Show appeared first on Radio World.

  • Trump FCC Chair Roasted By Critics For Threatening CNN Over Accurate Headline
    Trump’s handpicked Federal Communications Commission chairman, Brendan Carr, kicked up a firestorm of condemnation this week when he threatened CNN after the network ran a statement from Iran that angered President Donald Trump. CNN anchor Jake Tapper explained the whole saga during his show on Thursday. Tapper explained that after the ceasefire was announced, the network ran a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. “That statement spun the ceasefire and claimed Iran had achieved victory, forcing the U.S. to accept its 10-point plan,” Tapper continued, adding: It said in part, quote, “The enemy and its unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation has suffered an undeniable historic and crushing defeat,” unquote. CNN reported that statement online, in real time. There was also a separate, more measured statement from Iran’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, which CNN published as well. At 7:42 p.m. Eastern, President Trump posted that second statement, which basically said Iran would cease their attacks if attacks against Iran stopped, and then they would reopen the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks. But President Trump apparently did not like that first statement that we reported on — the one from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. So at 8:01 p.m. Eastern, the president posted on Truth Social, quote, “The alleged statement put out by CNN World News is a fraud. As CNN well knows, the false statement was linked to a fake news site from Nigeria. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the fake CNN World statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw the statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible reporting,” unquote. Before I go on, let me just say: none of that is true. None of that is accurate. Tapper then explained that Carr shared Trump’s post and tweeted, quote, “Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN’s false headline attributes to them. Time for change at CNN.” Carr’s threat against CNN led to a rebuttal from the network and condemnation from across the media world. Tapper finished his monologue by saying, “Here’s what actually happened. Iranian officials made that first statement. It was reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets and by other news outlets all over the world. CNN also received the statement from… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • ‘Ketamine Queen’ Dealer Who Sold Fatal Dose to Matthew Perry Sentenced to 15...
    Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP Jasveen Sangha, the dealer known as the “Ketamine Queen” who sold the fatal dose of drugs to Friends star Matthew Perry, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday. Perry, 54, was found unresponsive in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home in 2023. Besides his ten-year stint as Chandler Bing, he also starred in films including The Whole Nine Yards and Fools Rush In, plus television roles on The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and The Good Wife. His final television appearance was in 2021 on Friends: The Reunion with his other castmates. He spoke openly about his struggles with drug and alcohol addictions, and released a memoir in 2022 titled Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. His death was ruled by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner to be from acute effects of ketamine, exacerbated by drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine, a drug used to treat opioid use disorder and pain. Sangha, 42, was charged in connection with Perry’s death. Prosecutors emphasized her reputation as a high-end drug dealer to celebrity customers who referred to her as the “Ketamine Queen,” and presented evidence that she had made contact with Perry by offering a sample to his personal assistant, Kenneth Iwasama, who later bought 50 vials for Perry for about $11,000 and was also charged for his role in the actor’s death. Two doctors and another dealer involved in providing ketamine to Perry were also charged with crimes. When Sangha’s home was raided, investigators “said they found cocaine, 79 vials of ketamine and three pounds of orange pills containing methamphetamine,” reported The New York Times. Prosecutors said that after the news broke that Perry had died, Sangha rushed to destroy any proof she was involved, instructing her associate to “delete all our messages” about providing ketamine for him. Sangha pleaded guilty last August to five federal criminal charges, including three counts of distribution of ketamine, one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury, and one count of “maintaining a drug-involved premises.” Sangha was facing a maximum of 65 years in prison. Prosecutors agreed to a plea agreement in which she would receive a 15-year sentence, followed by three years of supervised release, according to the Los Angeles Times. Debbie Perry, the late actor’s stepmother, sent a letter to the court urging the judge to sentence Sangha to… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • Prism Red Is a Virtualized Broadcast Audio Receiver
    Sample user screen in Prism Red Adventure 33 will use the NAB Show to promote a new offering called Prism Red. It describes this as the first fully virtualized broadcast audio receiver. “For the first time ever, broadcasters can receive live programming, closure triggers and network feeds entirely in software, thus eliminating the need for dedicated hardware while preserving the reliability and performance expected of broadcast infrastructure,” the Canada-based company said. It said Aiir’s PlayoutONE is the first automation platform to achieve “Prism Red Certified” status, which it will highlight at the convention. It said this is the first integration of Prism Red with a cloud-based/virtual playout system. “Prism has already established itself as a true replacement for satellite distribution, delivering highly reliable audio over IP using multi-path, multi-vendor infrastructure,” it said in the announcement. “With the introduction of Prism Red, that same proven solution is now available natively inside VM and cloud environments. This marks a fundamental shift: Broadcast reception is no longer tied to physical devices.” It said this enables faster and more affordable deployment and scaling, and more ambitious workflows.

  • ‘Sounds Very Much Like Surrender’: Megyn Kelly Tells Piers Morgan That Trump...
     Megyn Kelly said President Donald Trump’s two-week ceasefire deal “sounds very much like surrender” to her — but she is still happy about it, since the Iranians were proving themselves to be “tough MF’ers.” Kelly shared her take on the Trump-Iran deal with Piers Morgan on his Uncensored program on Wednesday. “You gotta say the deal sounds very much like surrender on our part, which I’m in favor of,” Kelly said. “I mean, great. This needed to end, ugly or any other way. It needed to end. It was folly to begin with, it was folly throughout, it remains folly.” The former Fox News star’s remarks come after she has been critical of the war on her own program in recent weeks. Kelly said Operation Epic Fury was “clearly Israel’s war” in early March, adding “Mark Levin wanted it,” along with Ben Shapiro, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Miriam Adelson. She’s been trading shots with Levin since then, branding him “Micropenis Mark.” Levin — who hosts his Life, Liberty, & Levin show on Fox News — has returned fire by calling her a “mentally unhinged creep.” Trump came to Levin’s defense in mid-March, saying his critics were “jealous and angry.”  Kelly continued her feud with Levin on Wednesday, saying he was “practically in tears” after the deal “because we didn’t see it through, I guess, with a nuclear bomb.” “He would love to see Lebanon completely bombed and to be made to look like Gaza,” she added. Kelly then said it was obvious the U.S. military would be able to pummel Iran, but that previous American wars in the Middle East proved it would not be worth it. She said Iran’s theocratic regime was a tougher foe than many would have expected. “The Iranians proved to be tough MF’ers,” Kelly said. “And they realized that they had something far more powerful than a nuclear bomb — they had control over the Strait of Hormuz.” She then bashed Trump for saying “regime change” had been accomplished in Iran, following the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of other leaders. Kelly said that is bogus. “He’s pushing the BS claim that we affected regime change. No, we didn’t,” Kelly said. “It’s the same regime, just different players.” Her appearance on Morgan’s show comes the day after Trump halted his planned strikes on Iran’s power plants and bridges shortly… [TheTopNews] Read More.
