Employees at CNN “have real concerns ”about the network’s future after Paramount won a bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN senior media analyst Brian Stelter reported Friday.

Netflix ended its efforts to acquire the media conglomerate that owns CNN after Paramount offered $31 a share, which the board of Warner Bros. determined was a superior offer to the $27.75 a share offered by Netflix, PBS reported. Stelter questioned if Paramount CEO David Ellison, the son of Oracle founder and Trump fundraiser Larry Ellison, would respect CNN’s “editorial independence” given his relationship with President Donald Trump.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) unveiled its initial slate of “Red to Blue” endorsements, which immediately sparked a civil war within the party.

The DCCC’s endorsements are intended to spotlight top-tier Democratic challengers in Republican-held House districts. However, the party’s choice of candidates ignited a firestorm of backlash from Democratic primary challengers who were spurned. While this is entertaining for the right, more importantly, it’s a glaring symptom of a growing Democrat dysfunction that could potentially hand the GOP the momentum needed to gain in the 2026 midterms.

Former President Bill Clinton invoked a personal childhood story from his childhood ahead of a congressional deposition for the probe into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals. pic.twitter.com/0rX8cat5Pu

Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings sparred with left-wing CNN panelists Thursday night over a Democratic congressman’s revelation of six names from files involving registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna named six people listed in the Epstein files in a Feb. 10 speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, only to backtrack after the Guardian reported that four of those named were in a photo lineup and had no ties to the disgraced financier. Jennings said that Khanna “doxed” the men, calling out Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York when Suozzi decried the American people’s loss of trust in the government.

Can Megan Rapinoe ever be happy?

It’s doubtful. Highly doubtful. She’s so bitter and angry, in fact, that she had to take her dark, stormy, obnoxious personality and rain all over Team USA’s glorious gold medal parade.

During a recent episode of her podcast, “A Touch More,” with her wife Sue Bird, Rapinoe said that the men’s hockey team had “allowed themselves to be co-opted by a clown” when they invited FBI director Kash Patel into the locker room to celebrate their gold medal with a few small beers.

Clinton spoke to reporters after completing a closed-door House deposition related to Jeffrey Epstein. During the exchange, a reporter asked Clinton why Maxwell was invited to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.

Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings said Thursday that Democrats weaponize the Jeffrey Epstein files for political gain.

Speaking during a panel discussion on “The Arena,” Jennings said the Epstein records should be released in accordance with the law Congress passed. He warned against what he called a coordinated effort to smear President Donald Trump by selectively citing names that appear in the documents.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday that members of her own department secretly installed spyware on government-issued devices used by Trump administration officials, including her phone and laptop, allowing staffers to record meetings and monitor internal communications.

Scott is hampering officials’ “ability to adequately investigate complaints of fraud, financial waste, and abuse in City government,” Baltimore Inspector General Isabel Cumming’s office claimed Tuesday in local court. The lawsuit follows Scott continually barring Cumming from accessing payroll information on the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE), which Scott created in 2020 to reduce gun violence through community organizing, according to multiple reports.
