Don Lemon has chimed in on the Morning Joe debate regarding whether people should “be civil” towards President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration. The former CNN anchor blasted MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for their recent discussion about “civility” towards Trump and Maga supporters. On Friday’s (January 10) Morning Joe, Scarborough and former RNC chair Michael Steele got into a heated debate after the former praised Barack Obama for being friendly with Trump at Jimmy Carter‘s funeral. On the latest episode of The Don Lemon Show podcast, the former CNN This Morning co-host referenced a comment made by The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser during the Morning Joe discussion. Glasser warned against too much “civility,” comparing it to Vladimir Putin’s rise in Russia. “Do you guys understand what she said? Do you guys get what she said?” Lemon said, per Mediaite. “They’re trying to make people civil,...

Donald Trump completed an extraordinary political resurrection early Wednesday morning when he sealed the win in the 2024 Presidential election.

Elected the 47th president of the United States, Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House. At 78, he is also the oldest person ever elected to the office and the second to win nonconsecutive terms after Grover Cleveland. Here’s how the media is covering the win.

“Don Deal,” the New York Post’s digital headline read early this morning. The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid endorsed Trump back in October, describing the former real estate investor as “the clear choice for a better future.” The newspaper’s morning print edition features a smiling Trump with the headline “He’s Don It Again!” along with the tagline “Trump Pulls Of Comeback For The Ages With Election Win.”

“America wants Trump — no ifs or buts,” the Financial Times titled an...

Updated, with Trump response: All three major cable news networks carried Vice President Kamala Harris’ brief remarks Wednesday on the latest twist in the presidential campaign: John Kelly, Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, going on record via audio to say that the Republican nominee “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist.”

“Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable, and in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrail against his propensities and actions,” Harris said.

“So the bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power.”

Harris’ remarks were a late addition to her schedule following Tuesday evening reports in the New York Times and The Atlantic.

Kelly gave audio remarks to the Times that were posted to the Times website, and they were covered on network morning shows and other major media, albeit not...

Republicans are excusing Donald Trump after the former president channeled Hitler and accused immigrants of “poisoning the blood of our country.”

On Saturday, Trump addressed a crowd of supporters in Durham, New Hampshire. During one of his rants on immigration, Trump declared that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country … That’s what they’ve done. They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world — not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country,...

Exclusive: Warner Bros and producer Amy Pascal have emerged victorious in a spirited book-rights auction for How to Rule the World: Yacht Parties, Culture Wars and the Downfall of a President at Stanford. Written by Theo Baker, book tells his story of being an 18-year-old freshman at Stanford who wrote a series of reports for the university’s newspaper skeptical of the questionable research practices of the school’s president Marc Tessier-Lavigne, a neuroscientist who was on the short list for the Nobel Prize.

The college president responded by hiring a top law firm and big PR firm to take down the neophyte journalist, who wrote the pieces for The Stanford Daily. Baker wound up being named the youngest-ever recipient of a Polk Award, and in late summer the Stanford president and neuroscientist resigned — though he remains a member of the faculty.

Tessier-Lavigne’s research — he was a top exec...

Liev Schreiber urged a crowd of D.C. lawmakers, ambassadors and media figures for continued support for Ukrainians as the one-year anniversary nears of Russia’s attempted invasion.

The occasion was UnSanctioned, an event at the French ambassador’s residence that brought together those who have been sanctioned by Vladimir Putin’s regime to support the humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

The list, as Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova noted, is long. The sanctioned guests at the Friday evening event included Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, State Department Spokesman Ned Price, Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-pa), Rep. Rick Larsen (D-wa), Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Co), Rep. Rick Larsen (D-wa), Rep. Susan Wild (D-pa), Susan Glasser, Bianna Golodryga and Craig Kennedy.

Schreiber, the co-founder of BlueCheck Ukraine, a non-profit that fast-tracks financial support to Ukraine NGOs, said, “Our idea is simply that no one is more capable or...

The hundreds of layoffs at CNN this week were, as CNN boss Chris Licht predicted, a “gut punch,” but the question for staffers — and viewers — is what will happen next.

For viewers, the changes may be apparent in a number of ways, particularly at Hln, where the Robin Meade-anchored Morning Express is ending and Meade, whose first day on air at Hln was Sept. 11, 2001, is departing along with staffers. Instead, CNN will replace the morning show with a simulcast of CNN This Morning, the relaunched version of New Day. Hln, which was formerly the newscast-dominated Headline News, had shifted for the rest of the day to largely a format of true-crime shows, something that resembles Warner Bros Discovery sibling network ID. So it wasn’t a complete surprise that ID would take on responsibilities for the true-crime block.

Licht has indicated that, as the network undergoes cuts, he wants...

Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-s.C.) went on Fox News and stood behind his comments pointing out the historic “parallels” he sees between the Nazi party in the 1930s and the cult of Donald Trump now.

Jim Clyburn on Fox News defends comparing Trumpism to Nazism: "I've studied history all of my life. I taught history. And I'm telling you, what I see here are parallels to what the history was in this world back in the 1930s in Germany." pic.twitter.com/E7iM4eJE0p

“You’re blowing this,” Melania Trump said, warning her husband about the severity of the virus during the outset of the pandemic.

The former President’s response was “you worry too much – forget it.”

The new book by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021, reveals this exchange between the former President and First Lady, who had very different ideas on the Covid pandemic.

Donald Trump has been widely criticized for his weak Covid-19 response.

Other sources, such as the book by Michael Bender‘s Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost, describes Melania as “uncomfortable” during the pair’s many social gatherings, including a 2020 holiday gala at Mar-a-Lago that had 500 guests RSVP prior to the event.

In the same book, it is claimed that Melania attempted to limit the number of guests. It paints a picture of...

In a presidency overflowing with bizarre side plots, one of the standouts is Donald Trump’s reported desire to purchase Greenland from Denmark. While the controversy produced a response from the Danish that Greenland was not actually for sale, and plenty of memes, it turns out Trump was dead serious in his attempt, and had the idea planted in his mind by the billionaire heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics fortune, Ronald Lauder.

According to The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021, a new book by New Yorker columnist...

NBC’s “Meet the Press” is focusing on “alternative facts” Sunday just days after moderator Chuck Todd became a trending Twitter topic for a recent interview in which he admitted he was initially “naive” about the campaign of “disinformation” he said has come from the Trump administration and top Republicans.

The show’s team is splitting the hour up into sections: “Politics and Journalism in an Era of ‘Alternative Facts'” with New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet and the Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron; “Anatomy of a Lie” with NBC News national security analyst Clint Watts; and “Borrowing the Russian Disinformation Playbook” with New Yorker staff writer Masha Gessen and former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul.

Fox News took heat Tuesday and Wednesday for comparatively slight coverage of Tuesday’s convictions of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and former campaign chair Paul Manafort.

While CNN, MSNBC and most of the national mainstream media dedicated wall-to-wall coverage, the story was curiously downplayed on Fox, with the channel’s opinions hosts suggesting the news was a nothingburger.

“The difference on a night like Tuesday: Fox’s pro-Trump shows acknowledge the news, yes, but they don’t give it the serious wall-to-wall coverage that it merits,” CNN’s media reporter Brian Stelter scolded in his evening newsletter. “Instead, the shows move on… to safer subjects like confederate statues and Dem ‘extremism’ and the VMAs.”

Fox News dedicated their considerable resources to covering Cristhian Rivera, an undocumented immigrant accused of killing Iowa woman, Mollie Tibbetts — a story they broke.

Washington — The White House Correspondents Dinner has for years been about much more than the event itself: News organizations, internet firms and Washington power players have for years held their own fetes on days and nights surrounding the dinner.

This year is no exception. The arrival of Donald Trump’s administration to Washington also marked the end of some long-time parties, like a New Yorker bash and a Time-People party, but others have started. This year, Playboy is sponsoring an after-dinner “No Tie” party, hosted by Cooper Hefner, at a downtown D.C. location. The media outlet said it will mark its commitment to the First Amendment and a free press.
