- CBS Throw Obvious Jab at Stephen Colbert for Losing $40 Million Per Year
(Photo Credit: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on YouTube) This was about as subtle as a football being chucked directly into your groin. CBS took a shot at Stephen Colbert — without calling him out by name — for losing a ton of money each year in a statement that championed his late night replacement. “We’re proud to partner with Byron Allen on a new business and programming model for late night that proactively addresses a network daypart that was cost prohibitive to continue,” the network said in a statement. “With this ‘time buy’ model, we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly $40 million annually to $15 million in profit — a $55 million swing.” The statement was shared with Variety and several other trades on Thursday. That came a week after Colbert’s much-publicized swan song as the host of The Late Show. Colbert’s time slot was replaced by Allen’s Comics Unleashed, which has been syndicated since 2006; CBS is now leasing the airtime used by Colbert to Allen’s media company, which will handle selling all the ads. Colbert’s exit also comes after he made it clear he was not a fan of President Donald Trump or his Make America Great Again over the last decade. He said Trump’s mouth was only good for being Vladimir Putin’s “c*ckholster” back in 2017, and he giddily celebrated Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. “Go back to the shadow, Donny!” Colbert said at the time, before mentioning he was “ecstatic.” More recently, Colbert ripped the president’s crackdown on illegal immigration and his feud with Pope Leo XIV. Trump has kept up his end of the feud as well, with the president celebrating Colbert’s final show last week. “No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person,” Trump said. “You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!” Trump then posted an AI video of himself tossing Colbert into a dumpster and then dancing to “YMCA.” Allen recently told CNN he will not be focusing on politics like Colbert did. “What I’m doing with Comics Unleashed, we don’t talk about politics. We don’t talk about anything that’s topical,” Allen said. “We don’t do anything that’s racist or sexist or anti-Semitic or homophobic. Just be funny and don’t offend.”The post CBS Throw Obvious Jab at Stephen Colbert for Losing $40 Million Per Year first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) President Donald Trump found critics on the left and right after revealing on Saturday that he’s considering scratching a planned “Freedom 250” concert in favor of him simply giving a speech. In a Truth Social post, Trump lashed out at musicians he said were getting “the yips” over performing at an upcoming concert, part of a series of events celebrating the country’s birthday. After a big lineup was announced for a concert, part of what is being sold as The Great American State Fair, most of the artists backed out, including Bret Michaels and Martina McBride. Some cited divisiveness around the event as the reason for backing out. Trump suggested he scrap all the “third rate” musicians and just hold a rally instead, claiming he pulls in bigger crowds than Elvis Presley in his “prime.” The president wrote: I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate “Artists,” and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President! Some of Trump’s usual critics accused him of turning the event into an ego trip while some conservatives even questioned the idea. Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh called the idea “lame and boring.” “Might be an unpopular opinion on here but replacing a concert with a speech is lame and boring. Just go out and get real musicians to play. Don’t cancel the concert just because a bunch of washed up old has-beens canceled. There are hundreds of artists out there who might not be famous but would absolutely leap at the chance to play on a stage like this,” he wrote. Might be an unpopular opinion on here but replacing a concert with a speech is lame and boring. Just go out and get… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - James Carville Calls Out CNN Host Accusing Him of ‘Mindset’ Similar to Jan 6...
James Carville pushed back on CNN’s Michael Smerconish after being accused of having a “mindset” similar to January 6 Capitol rioters when it comes to President Donald Trump. Carville joined Smerconish on Saturday where he doubled down on his self-diagnosed “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” declaring he’s “trying” to get worse. Smerconish had opened his show called out Democrats for what he called a “blindspot” when it comes to the president. The CNN host argued that Senate candidate Graham Platner, who is challenging Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) for her seat, should not be as embraced as he is by prominent Democrats. Smerconish cited Platner’s resurfaced Reddit posts about fellow veterans and a since-covered Nazi-linked tattoo as reasons Democrats should not be welcoming him into the tent. Smerconish noted his commentary while speaking to Carville, asking him if he believed Platner is part of that “blindspot.” “I’ll never get a tattoo because I always changed my mind about things. But I think if you ask me, has he said some things that are highly controversial? Yes. But what is the most important thing to do in America? And that is to oppose Trump as vigorously as possible at every level. And the most important tool we have at our disposal is to win elections,” Carville said. “Okay, to me, respectfully, it’s the same mindset that explains people who breached the Capitol on January 6th. I mean, they were similarly warped in their thinking that it’s all on the line, and therefore no behavior is out of bounds,” Smerconish responded. Carville pushed back on this multiple times, saying it was “way outside the strike zone.” “I might have Trump Derangement Syndrome, but I am not a criminal, okay?” he said. Check out the exchange below: JAMES CARVILLE: You know, if you think and you believe that it is a perilous situation, you know, I think when you look at the totality, now Graham Plattner, you’re right — one thing about a tattoo, if he said something stupid 20 years ago, it’s still with you, it doesn’t go anywhere. I’ll never get a tattoo because I always changed my mind about things. But I think if you ask me, has he said some things that are highly controversial? Yes. But what is the most important thing to do in America? And that is to oppose Trump as vigorously as possible at every level.… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - CNN’s Abby Phillip Stunned By Dell’s Skyrocketing Stock Price Since Trump Bo...
CNN anchor Abby Phillip was shocked to see how much Dell’s stock has “skyrocketed” since President Donald Trump told fans to invest in the company — right after he put at least a million bucks into it. That would have definitely been a “scandal” if it had happened during former President Joe Biden’s term, Phillip added. “Just take a look at these charts,” Phillip said on CNN’s NewsNight on Friday. “Because you don’t even need to know anything about stocks to see what’s going on here.” CNN had a chart of Dell’s stock performance this year on the screen as she spoke. The graphic showed Trump invested between $1 million-$5 million on February 10, when the company was trading for about $122 per share; the chart then showed Dell’s stock price darting higher — it closed Friday at about $420 per share, two days after receiving a $9.7 billion Pentagon contract and one day after reporting earnings that easily surpassed Wall Street estimates. CNN’s graphic did not mention that Trump said on February 19 to “go out and buy a Dell computer” — a call he reiterated on May 8. Dell’s stock is up 254% since he first urged Americans to go buy Dell computers. “Dell’s stock has basically skyrocketed,” Phillip said, after stammering for a moment because she was apparently so stunned by its rally. “And in that interim period… Donald Trump has on three separate occasions urged people to buy Dell. The Pentagon then gave Dell a contract… and then the the the stock goes up even more,” she continued. “If any of this happened under Joe Biden’s administration. And we’re talking about a couple of hundred dollars, it would have been a scandal. We’re talking here about millions.” National Review columnist Caroline Downey then told her it wasn’t as bad as it looks. “With Dell, it’s a little different, though, because Dell has had an existing relationship with the Pentagon for decades, because they are probably the best manager of government systems. That’s why the Pentagon keeps hiring them repeatedly, keeps handing them contracts,” Downey argued. She said she understood the “optics are not ideal” for Trump, since the Dell family helped him launch his Trump Accounts for kids with a $6 billion donation. But she said it is not a bad deal for the country, since the Pentagon deal is expected to save… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Lashes Out At Fans Slamming NFL Star Jaxson Dart: ‘THEY ARE LOSERS!’
(AP Photo/Ryan Murphy) President Donald Trump lashed out Saturday at fans and teammates slamming NFL star Jaxson Dart for doubling down on his rally support. Dart has been raked over the coals by critics for saying it was an “honor and privilege” to introduce Trump at a political rally in Suffern, New York. “Thank you Jaxson! It was great being with you,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I know you’re taking some heat from the Radical Left Lunatics who are jealous of you, me, and everyone who surrounds us but, I also know that your Jersey also went to Number One, and you’re making Millions of Dollars so, YOU ARE A WINNER — THEY ARE ALL LOSERS.” Following Dart’s rally appearance, NY Giants teammate Abdul Carter responded to video of Dart on X, saying, “Thought this s— was AI, what we doing man.” On Friday, Dart issued a statement on his decision to introduce Trump, saying: Obviously, this was a unique opportunity, being asked and given the opportunity to introduce the President of the United States. My thinking was pretty simple, in the fact of, I’ve always loved this country. I have extended family members who have fought in wars. I have two uncles who have retired from the Air Force Academy and served themselves. And I even have a great-grandfather who served as the Secretary of the Treasury at some point. The president position has always been a position that I have a lot of respect in, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political party. My intentions were just that.

We spoke earlier as Men. Yall can keep yall narratives.” Giants coach John Harbaugh also addressed the controversy, saying, “Honestly, if I’m looking at it, I’m kind of grateful for the opportunity that we had to have the conversation. I kind of shared this with you guys before, but if you do things the right way, you confront everything all of the time that have to do with your football team and your ability to be successful.”The post Trump Lashes Out At Fans Slamming NFL… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Democratic Lawmaker Brands Trump an ‘Adjudicated Rapist’ — Then Gets Immed...MS NOW anchor Alex Witt had to correct a liberal lawmaker for calling President Donald Trump an “adjudicated rapist” on her show on Saturday afternoon. Witt asked Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) for her thoughts on the Justice Department launching an investigation into E. Jean Carroll, with the probe focused on whether she committed perjury during a 2022 deposition. Carroll accused the president of raping her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s, a claim Trump has repeatedly denied. The anchor noted the probe is focused on whether Carroll lied when she said no one else was funding her case against Trump; LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman later admitted he was bankrolling the lawsuit. Carroll was awarded roughly $90 million between both her civil sexual abuse and defamation cases against Trump. Stansbury said the probe into Carroll just shows Trump is manipulating the DOJ to go after his enemies. “I mean, come on, Donald Trump. We all know that you are an adjudicated rapist, and now you’re going after survivors that have held you accountable,” Stansbury said. “All of this is an attempt to try to silence people and to try to intimidate them by using the United States Justice Department as a weapon against the American people.” She added, “that is exactly what Richard Nixon went down for. So we can see what’s happening here.” Witt then jumped in to correct the Democrat. “Yeah, I just want to be careful, because President Trump was not accused of rape, per se. He was accused of sexual abuse. So going by the proper terminology there,” Witt said. “But nonetheless, I always appreciate having you on, Congresswoman Stanbury.” Her correction stands out, not only because it was factual, but because ABC News notably paid Trump $15 million in late 2024 after anchor George Stephanopoulos said the president was found “liable for rape.” In fact, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse in civil court, which carries a different definition in New York.
