“Yeah, Hollywood actors want to be paid more — I mean, cry me a river here. This is ridiculous. I don’t watch Hollywood award shows because it’s leftists patting one another on the back.

“Now Primetime isn’t saying this was Ashley’s cocaine or Hunter’s cocaine. We have no idea. These are just our suspects. We hope it’s not their cocaine because that’d be tragic.

The New York Times reports: Mr. DeSantis was seen by many in the Republican Party as the strongest possible alternative to former President Donald J. Trump, who had repeatedly attacked the network and had seen his relationship with its owner, Rupert Murdoch, evaporate.

“With Trump up for re-election, the media needed a fraud to take him out. They knew Joe Biden basically would do what he was told. He’d do anything for power. And if he didn’t do it, they’d blackmail him because they knew everything about his secret little life, so they pumped up Joe’s phony brand and savaged anybody who pointed …

Mediaite reports: Gavin Newsom does not “occasionally” tune into Fox News — he watches the network primetime show’s every night and his staff have told he has an obsession, he told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. “Do you think Democrats should still be appearing on Fox or should they not be appearing,” Psaki says in a follow up. “It contributes to the …

Mediaite reports: Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo was blunt in confronting Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) about his campaign’s early struggles.

Media Matters has the transcript: CHARLES HURT (GUEST): And, quite frankly, I was sort of half-joking when I said that I thought that the White House press office planted the cocaine just so they wouldn’t have to talk about, like, the economy and everything else. But they would rather talk about Hunter Biden the crackhead. PETE HEGSETH (HOST): You think …
