- Chris Hayes Mocks Fox News Report on Trump’s Algae-Infested Reflecting Pool: â...
MS NOW’s Chris Hayes threw some shade at Jesse Watters Primetime producer Johnny Belisairo on Tuesday night over a segment that ran on Fox News the previous day. Hayes recapped the ongoing saga of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which President Donald Trump has fixated on in his second term. The president has insisted that his Democratic predecessors badly neglected the pool and that its state required his personal attention. However, the pool has been plagued by algae blooms in recent days, and workers have taken to dumping bottles of hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to kill the algae. “Trump is laser-focused on this in a way that, well, you really wish a president was not,” Hayes stated on Tuesday’s All In. “And so his government hired a Virginia contractor in a corrupt, noncompetitive process to fix what President Obama had supposedly ruined. And they agreed to pay the firm $13.1 million, seven times the amount Trump initially said the job would cost because it had to be done for the big Fourth of July celebration. The contractor inflated their profit margin, according to a government analysis of costs obtained by The New York Times, charging 20% for a job where the typical margin is six to 12%.” Hayes then posited that Trump became obsessed with the Reflecting Pool because he “got in his head that the reflecting pool was just like a swimming pool, and it should look clean and clear, like his swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago… except it’s not a pool you can swim in, because it’s not a swimming pool, and it doesn’t have the same cleaning systems or the same purpose. It’s a reflecting pool full of largely stagnant water. And so, as with so many Trump schemes, Americans are now stuck with a big, ugly mess, and conservatives are stuck pretending that it is all great, just great.” Hayes then aired a clip of Belisario reporting from the Reflecting Pool: BELISARIO: I’m here at the newly renovated Reflecting Pool. It’s painted American flag blue, and the Democrats are gonna tell you, “Oh, there’s green algae. It looks so bad.” But there’s pool guys cleaning it up right now. No other president would do that. But President Trump is still cleaning it up. HAYES: Does that guy realize we can see the water behind him?! But that’s their story. They’re sticking to it. Hayes concluded,… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Survey: Car Shoppers Demand Radio in Their Autos
At WorldDAB Automotive 2026, Fifty5Blue Insight Manager Phyliis Chen speaks at the podium, with Director of Insight Julie Soulsby to her left. Read James Careless’ additional WorldDAB Automotive 2026 coverage of Radio France CEO Sibyle Veil’s keynote speech. Modern drivers want radios in their dashboards. That was the primary and unshakable finding shared by researchers at WorldDAB Automotive 2026. The annual event, which is hosted by the WorldDAB advocacy organization, was held in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 11. It included a presentation from the London-based Fifty5Blue, formerly Kantar Media, which is a media measurement and analytics firm that said it operates in approximately 80 countries. Ultimately, the message Fifty5Blue conveyed is that the six-country study proves that car buyers not only want radio in the dashboard — they are demanding it. Julie Soulsby, Fifty5Blue’s director of insight, said the study surveyed 8,000 recent buyers across Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K. “Our research among recent car buyers across six countries proves that broadcast radio is expected, it’s relied upon, and it’s valued in the car,” she said. Fifty5Blue’sData revealed that 83% of buyers typically listen to the radio while driving, with half making it their most frequent choice. Additionally, these drivers are loyal to radio, with 85% saying that they would deeply feel the absence of a broadcast dial. “Car buyers do not want to lose this essential part of the in-car experience,” Soulsby said. The frequency of listening as measured by Fifty5Blue highlights radio’s placement in the car, with close to a third of the sample group tuning in every single day. “To put this in context, that is twice as many as those who are listening to music streaming services every day in the car,” Soulsby said. Phyllis Chen, Fifty5Blue’s insight manager, believes that listeners choose radio because it provides connection, companionship and ease of use. “Over 8 in 10 find it an extremely accessible form of in-car audio entertainment being just one click away,” she said. Eight in 10 surveyed car buyers also view radio as being vital during crises. When asked where they would go first for information in the case of an emergency while on the road, over half of car buyers stated that they would turn to the radio, Chen said. As for streaming in the car? Fifty5Blue’s research argues that it doesn’t match radio’s on-the-road resilience. Soulsby explained that data dropouts… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Salem Media Names Linnae Young President of Broadcast Media
Linnae Young Salem Media has announced expanded leadership roles for two longtime executives following the upcoming retirement of broadcast media president Allen Power.

Vance sat down on Tuesday at The View table, and Behar offered some positive words after the fact despite her usual vocal criticism of the vice president and the administration. In a discussion with View executive producer Brian Teta on the Behind the Table podcast, Behar said she doesn’t believe Vance is a “bad guy” and she’d find it “interesting” to see him and a Democrat like California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) running against each other in 2028. “I’m getting a note here. You told him during the break that he should run for president because he had a good vibe,” Teta said. “I think that — even though for a Republican, mind you. I’m not a Republican. I think possibly I voted for Michael Bloomberg once for mayor who was supposedly,” Behar said, referring to the former New York City mayor. Behar claimed she doesn’t mind Republicans being elected on a local level. “I don’t mind a Republican on the city level because it needs a little discipline, but on the national level, I want somebody with a good heart, and those are more in the Democratic Party in my opinion. They care about the poor, they help people. The Republican Party is much more about saving taxes for rich people. So I’m not a Republican,” she said. She added about Vance, “Truthfully, as I said to you at the beginning of this conversation, I don’t think that he’s a bad guy. So if he runs against, say, Gavin Newsom, that would be an interesting debate to see those two because they’re both intelligent.” Behar joked later that President Donald Trump may be getting “jealous” after seeing the hosts of The View get along surprisingly well with Vance. She also added that where she drew the line with the vice president is him chalking up his past criticism of Trump (before joining his team) to the media’s depiction of the president. “Don’t give me that. That’s where I draw the line on the guy. Don’t blame me for the fact — you went to Yale law school, you can’t read between the lines? You can’t watch something and discern what’s going on? Come on,” she said. During his Tuesday appearance on… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- GOP Congresswoman Is ‘Worried’ That Knicks Parade Will Feature ‘Anti-Semit...
Fox Business Network Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) said she is concerned that the New York Knicks’ victory parade on Thursday may be marred by anti-Semitism because the team’s star player is Jewish. The Knicks clinched their first NBA title in 53 years on Saturday by defeating the San Antonio Spurs in five games, thanks in large part to the efforts of Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who dropped 45 in the clinching game. Afterward, fans poured into the streets of New York to celebrate. A small portion of the revelers set school buses on fire, and a teenager was shot and wounded. Dozens of people were arrested. On Tuesday, Tenney appeared on Fox Business and condemned the destruction before suddenly taking a detour by noting that Brunson’s wife, Ali Marks, is Jewish and what that could mean for the parade. “I’m worried about the violence,” she said. “And yet, look at Jalen Brunson. What an amazing American citizen. His wife is Jewish. She’s a, you know, a physical therapist. Uh, are we gonna see more anti-Semitism in this parade? I hope not. I hope people can unify around sports. It’s one of the great things about sports is, we can unify. And we can put political differences aside, and I hope we’re gonna continue to do that.” Rep. Claudia Tenney on Knicks parade: "I'm worried about the violence. Look at Jalen Brunson. What an amazing American citizen. His wife is Jewish. She's a physical therapist.

President Donald Trump attended Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, which hosted its first Finals game since 1999, when the Spurs defeated the Knicks. The president was thunderously booed, and New York lost the contest 115-111. It was the Knicks’ only loss of the series.The post GOP Congresswoman Is ‘Worried’ That Knicks Parade Will Feature ‘Anti-Semitism’ Because Jalen Brunson’s Wife Is Jewish first appeared on Mediaite.

Brandon Gill (R-TX) said Democrats need to “tone down the rhetoric” or they’ll create another Dietrich Bonhoeffer, an anti-Nazi activist pastor who was executed in World War II. Gill joined Fox Business on Tuesday, where he discussed threats surrounding Freedom 250 events, which included a UFC fight card outside the White House this week. According to the Department of Justice, five people were arrested and charged for a plot to attack and kill government officials attending this week’s fight event. Gill said both sides of the political aisle need to tone down the rhetoric, but particularly called out “the left.” He said: Well, I think the vice president is exactly right. We need both sides of the aisle, but particularly the left, to tone down the rhetoric. Listen, I that we can all agree or we all ought to be able to agree that political violence is always wrong, but the reality is whenever you have Democrats who are labeling Republicans Nazis every single day, calling ICE agents the Gestapo, you eventually expect something like this to happen. Somebody’s gonna listen to that and believe that they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that’s what we’re seeing here. Bonhoeffer was a German pastor and anti-Nazi activist who was executed by the Nazis in 1945, just weeks before the end of World War II. According to the FBI, a group procured weapons as part of the alleged plot to target government officials at Freedom 250. “The FBI, our law enforcement partners and our U.S. Attorneys did what they do every day to make America Safe through quick response and vigilance in investigating, disrupting, and dismantling this alleged plan before it could be carried out,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said. “We will take immediate and aggressive action to identify and prosecute those who incite and plan acts of violence.” Watch above via Fox News.The post House Republican Says Democrats Should ‘Tone Down the Rhetoric’ or They’ll Create ‘The Next Dietrich Bonhoeffer’ first appeared on Mediaite.
