In what some are calling a reflection of the laughable state of U.S. journalism, comedian Jon Stewart will be honored at this year’s Walter Cronkite Awards from USC Annenberg. Other honorees include Rachel Maddow, Scott Pelley, Peter Alexander, and Julio Vaqueiro. Conspicuously absent are conservative or centrist journalists. The Dean of the school is also none other than the wife of Disney CEO Bob Iger.
Rachel Maddow took to Nicolle Wallace’s The Best People podcast this week with a sharp rebuke of Paramount’s decision to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert — a move the network has repeatedly described as a financial necessity.

Star Wars is limping into its next chapter with confidence only Hollywood could muster — the kind born not from success, but from denial.

Disney tried throwing a Hail Mary ahead of today’s Election Day coverage — and YouTube TV swatted it away.
The plot just thickened in Disney’s battle with YouTube TV.

On Monday, September 17, 2025, President Donald J. Trump filed a defamation lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the New York Times, four of its reporters, and Penguin Random House.

On September 1, 2025, at Heathrow Airport, comedian and sitcom creator Graham Linehan, known for Father Ted and The IT Crowd, was taken into custody by five armed police officers following his arrival from Arizona.
The arrest stemmed from three posts on X that authorities allege involved incitement of violence against individuals identifying as “trans.” Linehan was detained, questioned, and afterward hospitalized due to high blood pressure. As part of his bail, he’s been banned from posting on X. Linehan may have posted the commentary in the United States, indicating that the United Kingdom is willing to arrest individuals for online discourse once they arrive upon British territory.
