(Alex Brandon | Credit: AP) (Sipa USA via AP) Hell hath no fury like a blowhard scorned; just ask anyone who’s dared to describe Megyn Kelly’s dishonorable descent into the fever swamp out loud. Kelly presents her latest “takedown,” such as it is, of CBS News as a righteous protest on behalf of an audience victimized by an intentionally deceptive piece of anti-journalism — even as she herself commits just such a sin. At issue are two versions of a 60 Minutes interview of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about the United States’ ongoing military operations against Iran conducted by chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett. In the abridged version that aired on the network, a voiceover observes that “Some normally enthusiastic supporters of the president have criticized him [Trump], suggesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled the U.S. into a war that, to their minds, did not put American interests first.” The newsman proceeds to ask Hegseth, “Do you want to address that criticism?” “All I know is I’m in the room every day, and I see how President Trump operates, and what he’s putting first. And it’s America, Americans, and American interests,” replies Hegseth. “Okay, so there you see Pete Hegseth defending Bibi Netanyahu, charges about Israel’s interference in the war,” asserted Kelly on Monday’s edition of her program. The literate surely spot the problem already. Hegseth didn’t offer a defense of Netanyahu or Israel, but one of Donald Trump. What Hegseth objected to is the idea that his boss is a pliable puppet who’s been manipulated into acting on others’ behalf. Trump and his surrogates have been clear on this point: for better or worse, he owns this conflict. Nevertheless, Kelly persisted. “That was not the question that Major Garrett asked! He did not ask anything about Bibi Netanyahu or Israel, nor did then Pete go on to rehabilitate anything in response to Israel. All right? We took a look at the Hegseth interview in full. It’s notable how the Q&A you saw never mentioned Israel at all. Only someone at CBS tried to go back and change the question to make it about Israel such that the answer would then rehabilitate Israel, which isn’t what actually happened. Look at this!” marveled Kelly before rolling the tape on the full exchange between Garrett and Hegseth, which unfolded like this: GARRETT: You mentioned America First. Some who identify with that movement —… [TheTopNews] Read More.55 mins ago - Trump Tells Fox News Negotiations With Iran ‘Possible’: Regime Leaders ‘Wa...
President Donald Trump has suggested he could be willing to open talks with Iran, telling Fox News that negotiations remain “possible” depending on the conditions offered by Tehran and that the regime leaders “want to talk badly.” The president made the remarks in an interview with the network’s chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Monday evening, as U.S. strikes against Iranian military infrastructure continue. Speaking on Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning, Yingst described the exchange, saying he directly asked Trump whether he would negotiate with Iranian leaders: He told me, ‘I’m hearing they wants to talk badly,’ adding that: ‘It’s possible. Depends on what terms, possible, only possible’ he said. ‘You know, we sort of don’t have to speak anymore, you know, if you really think about it, but it’s possible.’ The president also used the interview to reiterate his hostility toward Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, saying: “I don’t believe he can live in peace.” Yingst told the co-hosts that the apparent Iranian interest in negotiations comes as the country faces severe military losses following the launch of a U.S. operation targeting its naval and missile capabilities. The president also remarked that he was “surprised” the regime decided to target neighboring nations after the joint U.S.-Israeli attacks began on February 28.

(Photo by Matthew Hoen/NurPhoto via AP) CNN announced in a statement on Tuesday that it had deleted one of its social media posts for “breaching the editorial standards” of the network after it was hit with backlash for its framing of an attempted terrorist attack in New York City last week. “A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting,” CNN said in the statement. “It has therefore been deleted.” A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted. — CNN (@CNN) March 10, 2026 The deleted post in question sparked backlash on social media after it referred to the suspects, 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, as “two Pennsylvania teenagers” who could have been enjoying the “warm weather” when their lives were “drastically” changed. “Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather,” read the post. “But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home. Here’s what we know so far.” The post received widespread criticism, including from Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin, who commented, “Some of the media headlines that have been coming out of this attempted ISIS terror attack are wild.” The New York Police Department’s (NYPD) bomb squad determined over the weekend that a device allegedly thrown by the two men outside Mamdani’s residence was “an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.” Both men “were acting in support of ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization,” according to a statement from the Department of Justice, with Kayumi allegedly telling cops he was affiliated with the terror group. One of the two bombs recovered by police contained an explosive that “has been used in multiple terrorist attacks over the last decade,” the Department of Justice added. “This was an alleged ISIS-inspired act of terrorism that could… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Rand Paul Tells Fox’s Maria Bartiromo He Doesn’t Buy the Trump Administratio...Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) picked apart the Trump administration’s reasoning for the ongoing war with Iran on Tuesday, saying the White House’s motivation hasn’t “been very convincing.” During the 8 a.m. hour on Fox Business, Maria Bartiromo brought on Paul to respond to a press conference that had just taken place. During that presser, Bartiromo noted, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed that Tuesday would be the “most intense” day of the war in terms of strikes against Iran. Bartiromo then mentioned that Hegseth had been providing the public with regular updates, prompting her to ask Paul if the administration’s reasons for the war had been “sufficient” in his eyes. In response, Paul said the administration’s reasons were not “very convincing” and began poking holes in each of them. The senator added: As far as the reasons for the war, there have been many different reasons floated, but none of them, I think, have been very convincing. One reason is that we want to free the Iranian people from oppression. I have a great deal of sympathy. I want people to be free around the world. But if our foreign policy is to free oppressed people, I’m not sure where war would end. I mean, there are many people that are said to be oppressed in China, Tibet, the Uyghurs, North Korea, Russia. Where would war end if our goal is to free oppressed people? So I think that goal is too grandiose and would perpetually tie us up in war. Another statement has been made: “Well, they’re a week away from a nuclear weapon.” You can take clips from the ’90s, all the way through the present, of people arguing that they’re a week away from nuclear weapons. Then, there were arguments made where their ballistic missiles are almost able to reach the U.S., but then our intelligence countered that and said, really, they would be six months to a year — if they made that attempt. We were also told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we’re told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. So, I guess I don’t think the arguments are valid, and I think war should be the last resort, not the first resort. A war of choice is not my choice.

- One Sheet: MacFarlane Jumps CBS Ship, Iran War Video Game, Right Wing Dip
The Big Picture The CBS News talent drain is getting harder to ignore, with justice correspondent Scott MacFarlane becoming the latest high-profile exit — and Status has the backstory the goodbye memo didn’t include. The war in Iran is generating its own media sub-storyline: the White House’s “gamification” of combat footage is drawing fire from Ben Stiller, a video game voice actor, and Democratic senators — and the newsletter class is sorting it out. On the business side, a $150 million lawsuit puts Jeff Shell‘s future at Paramount in question just as the company pursues regulatory approval for its blockbuster merger. And Rupert Murdoch turned 95, got a presidential tribute on video, and sent cake to the paparazzi. Today’s sources: Status | CNN Reliable Sources | Poynter | Newsbusters | To the Contrary | The Bulwark | Simon Owens | Barrett Media | The Desk | CJR | Page Six Hollywood Top Story THE REAL REASON SCOTT MACFARLANE LEFT CBS When Scott MacFarlane sent his goodbye memo to CBS News colleagues Monday morning, it was brief, gracious, and conspicuously uninformative. He “appreciated the bosses,” valued his time, looked forward to “independence.” Standard exit language. Status wasn’t satisfied with that. Multiple people familiar with the matter told Status that MacFarlane had grown disillusioned with the overall direction of the network under Bari Weiss, who has been steering CBS toward friendlier footing with the Trump administration since her appointment by David Ellison in October. The specific breaking point, per Status: the way CBS Evening News marked the five-year anniversary of January 6 — anchor Tony Dokoupil gave it 16 seconds and a both-sides frame. MacFarlane, who had spent years aggressively covering the Capitol attack, was “aghast,” Status reports. He communicated his disapproval to colleagues, and it became known inside the network. Status also reports MacFarlane had been stretched thin running an under-resourced team covering January 6 developments, Trump pardons, the Epstein files, and more — all while morale across the network has “plunged” under Weiss. Producer Mary Walsh, a nearly five-decade CBS veteran, took a buyout last month and sounded the alarm about political pressure on her way out. Anderson Cooper declined to renew his 60 Minutes contract, with sources telling Status it was partly discomfort with the network’s direction. “Sadly, the goodbye email is becoming almost a weekly ritual,” one CBS staffer told Status. “Each one of these hit,… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
