    CNN analyst blasts Dem lawmakers for demanding answers on Colberts cancellation
    CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig ripped Democratic lawmakers this week for trying to get answers on CBSs Thursday announcement it will be canceling"The Late Show withStephen Colbert" in 2026."The move, as you can hear, drew surprise and anger from his audience and from Democratic lawmakers too, who are now demanding answers," CNNs Abby Phillip said.Phillip then quoted a statement fromSen.Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on the announcement from the senators X feed that said "CBS canceled Colberts show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons."COLBERT SLAMS PARAMOUNT FOR SETTLING WITH TRUMP, ACCUSES HIS PARENT COMPANY OF OFFERING A 'BIG FAT BRIBE'Phillip brought in Honig, who said that Democrats should move on."Two initial reactions to this,"Honig said. "Number one, what on earth is Congress doing, wasting their time on this? CBS is a private industry. If they want to give AOC the show, God bless them.""Theyre private," he continued. "ThatsFirst Amendment, Congress. If Democrats, if Elizabeth Warren, they go down this road, what an utter waste."CNN contributor Scott Jennings then challengedHonig, asking him why he thinks Democratic lawmakers are upset that the show is being canceled."You dont know why theyre mad about it," Jennings askedHonig. "Well, who was even on the show tonight? Adam Schiff. These shows, Colbert and the rest of them have become nothing butanti-Trump fever swap porn along with Dem guests every single night."STEPHEN COLBERT MOCKS HIS PARAMOUNT BOSSES FOR CONSIDERING 'SHADY' $50M TRUMP SETTLEMENTPhillip acknowledged Jennings stance, but then said she thinks Warren is concerned that the cancellation is due to ongoing corruption.On July 1,Paramount Global and CBS agreed to pay Trump a sum that could reach at least $30 million to settle the presidents election interference lawsuit against the network.

    Farage slams secret Afghan refugee resettlement to UK, claims sex offenders among arrivals
    Nigel Farage, the leader of the right-wing Reform UK party, slammed the Conservative and Labour parties after it was revealed this week thousands of Afghan refugees were secretly resettled into the country without the public's knowledge.Farage claimed some of those Afghans are sex offenders, sparking a row with the ruling Labour Party, which denied the claims.Around 4,500 Afghans have been relocated to the U.K. so far with around 6,900 expected to be relocated overall.EUROPEAN NATIONS DEMAND POWER TO DEPORT IMMIGRANTS WHO COMMIT CRIMESMeanwhile, waves of migrants continue arriving by boat, further inflaming public frustration over unchecked immigration."Amongst the number that have come are convicted sex offenders I am not, I promise you, making any of this up, and the total cost of this operation has been a staggering 7 billion [$9 billion]," Farage said in a post on X."The numbers are off the charts, the cost is beyond comprehension and the threat to women walking the streets of this country, frankly, is incalculable."Relocating the 6,900 Afghans is expected to cost 850 million [$1.1 billion]. The 7 billion Farage referenced is likely the total cost of all Afghan resettlement programs since 2021 of about 36,000 Afghans through multiple schemes.The British government earlier this week revealed it secretly resettled thousands of Afghan nationals in the U.K. after a catastrophic data breach exposed nearly 19,000 applicants who had worked with U.K. forces, an operation kept under wraps by a rare "super injunction" that barred even the mention of its existence.The injunction was lifted Tuesday in conjunction with a decision by Britains current Labour Party government to make the program public.'AFGHANS FOR TRUMP' GROUP FEELS ABANDONED AFTER ADMINISTRATION REVOKES REFUGEE PROTECTIONSA spreadsheet containing the personal information of the nearly 19,000 people who had applied to relocate to the U.K. after the Taliban takeover ofAfghanistan was accidentally released in 2022 because of a defense officials email error. The government only became aware of the leak when some of the data was published on Facebook 18 months later."I cant think of a better example of the total incompetence, dishonesty and genuine lack of understanding of what the priorities of a British government are than this Afghan scandal," Farage added.But U.K. Defense SecretaryJohn Healeydenied any known sex offenders had been allowed into the U.K. under the program and insisted everyone had been checked "carefully" for any criminal recordsHe said if Farage had any "hard evidence," he should report it to the police."Anyone who has come into this country under any of the government schemes that wasunder the previous government and now from Afghanistan is checked carefully for security, checked carefully for any of those sort of criminal recordsthat would preclude and prevent them coming to this country," Healey told Times Radio, according to The Sun.British soldiers were sent to Afghanistan as part of an international deployment against al Qaeda and Taliban forces in the war on terror after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. At the peak of the operation, there were almost 10,000 U.K. troops in the country, mostly in Helmand province in the south.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    TikTok-famous PR strategist accurately predicts outcome of Coldplay CEO fiasco
    In the wake of a Jumbotron capturing Astronomer CEO Andy Byron in a compromising moment with the company human resources head Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert earlier this week, TikTok-renowned reputation and crisis strategist Molly McPherson offered her insights on the ensuing PR debacle, while accurately predicting Byron's resignation.In a now-viral social media clip, the musical pair could be seen on the concert's "kiss cam" covering their faces and ducking behind stadium seats.Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin called out the awkward response in front of the crowd, joking the two were either "having an affair" or "just very shy."ASTRONOMER CEO RESIGNS AFTER EMBARRASSING COLDPLAY CONCERT JUMBOTRON INCIDENTMcPherson, who built a TikTok following of nearly 600,000 users by hypothesizing about celebrity PR responses to similar media woes, weighed in on the fiasco, and Astronomer's initial response to the situation.Days after the incident, the company released a statement reinforcing its values and announcing it had launched a "formal investigation.""Astronomer finally comes out with their statement," McPherson said in a TikTok video posted Friday. "If I were running crisis management on the inside here, I would not have released a statement. I would not have done that, and here's the reason why: Even though Chris Martin exposed the CEO and the chief people officer, it was still a private matter."WOMAN WHO EXPOSED TECH CEO'S ALLEGED AFFAIR AT COLDPLAY CONCERT STANDS BY POSTING VIRAL VIDEOShe added there was "nothing special" about the statement, which shared vague details about the company's focus on "accountability.""By waiting so long, it creates this vacuum, of course, and that's why everything went viral," McPherson said. "There was so much collateral damage by that point, not to mention all [of the] employees [and] investors. But also, don't forget, the CEO is in charge. There's a power hierarchy."Noting stories are more likely to go viral in July and August, McPherson said the incident happened at the "worst time of year.""You cannot control the public, and you cannot control memes which, by the way, meme culture [is] peak humor. This was good," she said. "Not only did the story go viral, not only was it video, not only was it Coldplay, but [there was] also the fake CEO statement, which a lot of PR types out there definitely knew was fake. A lot of journalists knew it as well."COLDPLAY KISS CAM TRIGGERS 'FORMAL INVESTIGATION' INTO ASTRONOMER CEO ANDY BYRON AND HR HEAD KRISTIN CABOTHours after the video reached the internet, a fake apology statement, which claimed to be issued by Byron, was posted online.The statement, which Astronomer confirmed was not authentic, ended with song lyrics from Coldplay's "Fix You," "Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPMcPherson said there were clear "winners and losers" in the spectacle, noting the company would likely come out unscathed."[The] winners [were] Chris Martin and Astronomer and also, eventually an ex-wife," she said. "[The] loser [was] Andy Byron. He'll be out by the end of next week, definitely. From a corporate reputation [perspective] it's all fine."One day after McPherson shared her thoughts, Byron tendered his resignation and the board of directors accepted.
