- “Screens Are Everywhere. Radio Must Be Visual”
Screens are “everywhere” inside cars now — not just in the center stack of the dash, but directly in front of the driver, in front of the front-seat passenger and in front of folks in the back. And this trend matters for radio. That’s one finding from the latest In-Vehicle Visuals Report published by Quu Inc. It found that 68% of the 100 top new models sold in America now display information on not one but multiple screens. Quu also found that every one of the top 100 cars still has FM and AM radio, though radio is getting harder to find in today’s multi-menu infotainment systems. Once again the company sent a researcher to sit in those car models and log a set of parameters about how radio and metadata display. Then broadcast researcher Doug Hyde analyzed the data. Key findings of the report are summarized in this chart: CEO Steve Newberry said in the announcement, “In our third year, trendlines are emerging. Screens are everywhere in vehicles. Dashboards are getting smarter and more intuitive to use. Audio is now almost always paired with a visual.” Newberry said that for radio, “the challenge isn’t availability — it’s discoverability. Ensuring sound is seen isn’t optional. It’s essential.” The chart at right shows what percentage of the top 100 have certain features. Click to enlarge Almost 3/4 now have HD Radio and about 1/4 are equipped with DTS AutoStage. SiriusXM has seen a dip since last year. Android Audo and Apple CarPlay continue to be well supported. But another notable finding: The number of models with streaming apps built right into the vehicle is now 53%, up from 20% just two years ago. The data on all these models is available at QuuReport.com. The site provides searchable findings as well as photos of the dashboards. Quu sells technology that helps radio stations schedule and publish programming and sales messages on screens. Newberry will discuss the findings in a free webinar this Wednesday, including guests Fred and Paul Jacobs from Jacobs Media, Joe D’Angelo from Xperi and MikeMcVay of McVay Media Consulting.

Screenshot via X. Péter Magyar, the Hungarian Prime Minister-Elect, announced that outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government had been paying CPAC, but he would put an immediate end to that — and even went so far as to call it a “crime” that needed to be investigated. Orbán conceded Sunday after Magyar’s center-right opposition party defeated him in a landslide, ending a 16-year rule. Orbán was criticized for numerous authoritarian moves he made, especially those that restricted free speech, the press, and elections, but he won favor among the American right. President Donald Trump issued multiple enthusiastic endorsements for Orbán, both Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Hungary’s capital, Budapest, to campaign for him, and the Conservative Political Action Conference organized five of its events in Budapest and gave featured speaking slots to Orbàn and his allies multiple times over the years. Before the election, the official CPAC account posted a tweet announcing the organization “stand[s] firmly” with Orbán and was cheering for him to win. CPAC is closely watching this very important election in Hungary today. We stand firmly with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian people as they vote. We have proudly held CPAC Hungary five times, and each gathering has been wildly successful, bringing together… — CPAC (@CPAC) April 12, 2026 In a speech Magyar gave after he won, he addressed the issue of CPAC. The state will not finance these things, neither the event called CPAC nor other related institutions such as the Mathias Corvinus Collegium and similar attached bodies. I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place, it was a crime. Mixing party financing… https://t.co/LrTPAiA2JA pic.twitter.com/4Y5TuMwouK — Pete (@splendid_pete) April 13, 2026 According to an English translation of Magyar’s remarks, he said that the Hungarian government “will not finance these things,” specifically mentioning CPAC and other right-wing institutions. “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place, it was a crime,” Magyar continued. “Mixing party financing with government spending from the state budget is, in my view, a criminal offense, and this will have to be investigated by the future authorities, including the National Office for the Recovery and Protection of Public Assets, since those budgetary funds were not meant to finance party events.” “CPAC is welcome to come to Budapest, very welcome,… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - MAGA CNN Guest Alleges Conspiracy Against Trump Involving Obama, Pope Leo, and a...
A CNN guest alleged that the criticism President Donald Trump has received from Pope Leo XIV is part of a Chicago-centric conspiracy to politically damage Republicans in this year’s midterm elections. Trump has been feuding with the pope, who has criticized the president on immigration and the war in Iran. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump called the pope “WEAK” and said, “I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do.” The president also posted an AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-esque figure tending to a sick man. The post drew backlash, including from MAGA-friendly media. The president has since deleted the post and claimed he thought it depicted him as a doctor. On Monday’s CNN NewsNight, Hal Lambert, who is the founder and CEO of an investment firm that offers a MAGA exchange-traded fund, accused Leo, former President Barack Obama, and former Obama adviser and current CNN Chief Political Analyst David Axelrod of conspiring to hurt Trump and the GOP. Specifically, Lambert homed in on Axelrod’s recent visit with the pope at the Vatican, as well as comments from Obama, who said he wants to meet Leo. Like Obama and Axelrod, Leo – born Robert Prevost – hails from Chicago. Lambert laid out his theory of the case: This is 100% political, ok? This is all about trying to hurt President Trump’s Catholic vote during the midterms and Republicans in the midterms. If you look at what– play out the dots here… David Axelrod goes and visits Pope Leo last week. They’re talking about Obama going to visit Pope Leo. Pope Leo is from Chicago. All of a sudden, now, Pope Leo is out attacking Trump and the policies of the United States and Israel… You have three cardinals come out today, attacking the immigration policy. This is all about trying to get the Catholic vote against Trump. Host Abby Phillip interrupted to say, “Hal, there are just a lot of flaws in this argument.” “There’s no flaws,” Lambert insisted. “Axelrod is the chief strategist for Obama. The pope is saying he’s not political. Why is he meeting with the chief strategist for both Obama’s campaigns and in the White House?” “Because he’s from Chicago,” CNN commentator Bakari Sellers responded. “Pope Francis met with JD Vance,” Phillip noted. “Pope Francis was extremely… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Anderson Cooper in Awe of Trump’s Early-Hours Posting Binge: ‘There Were Pos...CNN’s Anderson Cooper appeared awestruck by President Donald Trump’s early-hours posting binge, noting how “weird” it was that “there were posts all night long.” Among Trump’s overnight posts from Sunday evening to Monday morning was an intense rant against Pope Leo XIV for his criticism of the Iran War and a now-deleted AI-generated image of Trump seemingly in the likeness of Jesus Christ. Speaking with former Trump White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, Cooper reviewed the president’s Truth Social activity. “I looked at the timeline of the social media posts,” he said before gradually stumbling over his words in apparent disbelief. “This one, the AI-Trump Jesus/doctor tending to patients with white glowing light coming out of both his hands and celestial godlike light beaming down on his very youthful countenance, that was at 9 p.m. or so and then all night long, throughout, I mean up until, you know every, like midnight, 2 a.m., 4 a.m. Is he— I mean, I know he’s often not slept, but seems like he was— I don’t know if somebody else was doing it, but there were posts all night long – that’s weird.” In response, Scaramucci took a jab at the president and suggested the timeline could be proof that Trump does have “anxiety” and doom scrolls. “I think the AI, because the AI sometimes hallucinates, is also dunking him a little bit there,” he said. “You got like a young Jeff Epstein in the picture. So, to me, he’s up all night. He’s doomscrolling. We can pretend he doesn’t have anxiety, that he’s not human, but of course, he does have anxiety. You can even hear it in the hoarseness in his voice. He’s very fatigued.” Scaramucci attributed this fatigue to the Trump administration’s lack of a clear strategy in the Iran War. “They don’t have a clear strategy, and, listen, I want this to work for the American people and for our troops, and maybe the blockade will be something that works, and maybe we’ll get to a peace deal,” he said. “I certainly want that to happen, but we went into this thing without an exit strategy, and we went into this thing off intuition as opposed to what would really happen.”The post Anderson Cooper in Awe of Trump’s Early-Hours Posting Binge: ‘There Were Posts All Night Long – That’s Weird’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Marjorie Taylor Greene Shreds Trump for ‘Blasphemy,’ Says ‘I Was Very Offe...Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had words for President Donald Trump after the president posted an AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-like figure. On Sunday, Trump sparked something of a miniature Iconoclastic Controversy when he posted AI slop of himself looking like Jesus and tending to an ailing man. The post drew backlash, including from MAGA-friendly media. The president has since deleted the post. On Monday, the president insisted he thought the image depicted him as a doctor or a Red Cross worker. Amid that drama, Trump has also been feuding with Pope Leo XIV, whom he called “WEAK.” Greene appeared on Monday’s edition of The Source on CNN, where she unloaded on Trump. “I thought that was blasphemy,” the former congresswoman said. “As a Christian, I was very offended. And a doctor? President Trump is not a doctor. And that picture had him in a robe, as Jesus is often portrayed, with light coming out of his hands. And he talked about healing people like a Red Cross worker. I think there would be many people that would argue with that, you know, saving lives. So, I think it was blasphemy. I was offended. I think he should apologize, not act defensive. And many Christians across America and the world were very offended by that.” Collins responded by noting the schism that had formed between Greene and Trump, who were formerly allies. “I think the split between you and the president is well known,” Collins said. “Obviously, you’ve talked about the death threats you’ve gotten because of what he’s said about you and what has happened there. Some people might hear your answer there, though, and remember things that you have said about the president in the past, things like this.” The host then played a clip of Greene in 2023 comparing Trump – then a criminal defendant – to Jesus. “President Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today,” Greene said at the time. “Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus, Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government.” Collins then asked whether Greene bears some responsibility for Trump’s post. “We’re talking about people being prosecuted unfairly by weaponization of government, political prosecutions, things such as like political protesters. That’s what I was referring to there,” Greene replied. “I think that was completely different.” Watch above via CNN.The… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- Fox News Contributor Rips Trump’s ‘Disrespectful Attack on the Pope’ and ...Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo ripped President Donald Trump after the president attacked Pope Leo XIV and posted an AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-like figure. Trump has been engaged in a war of words with the new pope, who has criticized the president’s immigration policies and his decision to wage war on Iran. Trump called the pope “WEAK” in a Truth Social post on Sunday and said, “I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do.” Trump also posted an AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-esque figure tending to a sick man. The post drew backlash, including from MAGA-friendly media. The president has since deleted the post and claimed he thought it depicted him as a doctor. On Monday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle, Arroyo, who, like host Laura Ingraham, is Catholic, took the president to task. Ingraham aired a clip of Trump doubling down on his comments by stating, “I don’t think he’s doing a very good job.” “Raymond, what’s going on here?” she asked. “Let’s start with the president,” Arroyo replied. “This was a sloppy and frankly, disrespectful attack on the pope. I don’t think he should have issued this kind of long ad hominem. He didn’t get any points for doing this. There’s nothing good that comes of it. So, he shouldn’t have gone down this path. On the pope’s side, the pope says he’s not a politician. That’s true. He shouldn’t be. But I understand in the president’s reading of this, when you have a pope saying, ‘Call your congressman, call your senator, to get them to advocate for peace and oppose this war,’ when the pope says, as he did on Easter Sunday, ‘Let those who have weapons lay them down, Laura, that sounds political, particularly when you’ve got Swiss Guardsmen with arms protecting you.” Ingraham and Arroyo later turned to Trump’s AI-generated image of the president. “The image on its face is sacrilegious,” Arroyo said. “I’m glad the president took this down. But this was much ado about nothing, and it all could have been avoided.” Ingraham responded by advising the president, “You don’t have to swing at every pitch.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Fox News Contributor Rips Trump’s ‘Disrespectful Attack on the Pope’ and ‘Sacrilegious’ AI Image first appeared on Mediaite.
