THE NEWS

Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran admitted on Friday that his longtime network was liberal and struggled to understand President Donald Trump’s supporters because its newsroom lacked political viewpoint diversity.Co-host of “The Fifth Column” podcast Michael C. Moynihan asked Moran directly, “Is ABC News a liberal institution?””Yes. But I think, I think like a lot of mainstream media, it’s because of lack of viewpoint diversity,” Moran said. “That was one of the problems in covering Trump. Nobody had voted for him.”ABC NEWS FACES BACKLASH FOR PRESENTING OBAMA CAMPAIGN AD AS AN ‘EXCLUSIVE’ ON REDISTRICTING MEASUREMoran said he attempted to challenge the prevailing newsroom perspective by circulating internal messages about the network’s Trump coverage.”I sent out these ‘Hey, we should be fair to Trump’ internal emails,” Moran said. “I heard from people — engineers, maybe the occasional producer — who said ‘Thank you.’”An ABC News staffer told Fox News Digital after Moran’s departure that the veteran correspondent had clashed internally with liberal colleagues, but that his social media post left the network with no other option.”It’s just sad honestly,” the staffer said. “It’s sad for him, a long-time colleague, friend, a good person, family man… It’s just unfortunate, but there was no alternative, especially in these times.”BROADCAST BIAS: NETWORKS TURN TRUMP’S PLANE SWITCH INTO A FANCY SCANDALABC declined to renew Moran’s expiring contract after he published a since-deleted post describing Trump and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as world-class haters. The network said the post violated its policies and reaffirmed its commitment to impartial reporting.”We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post, which was a clear violation of ABC News policies, we have made the decision to not renew,” an ABC spokesperson said. “At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism.”The ABC staffer also told Fox News Digital that the network acted swiftly because allowing the controversy to linger could have driven away viewers amid widespread distrust of legacy media.”We f—ing took it seriously and dealt with it pretty g–d— quickly,” the staffer said.TUNING OUT: WHY MANY AMERICANS ARE SICK OF THE NEWS – ESPECIALLY TRUMP NEWSMoran made a similar acknowledgment shortly after leaving ABC, saying the scarcity of Trump supporters inside the network prevented its news division from hearing large parts of the country.During Friday’s interview, Moran drew a distinction between fairness and objectivity while discussing how journalists should cover Trump’s attempt to change long-standing political norms.”There is no such thing as objectivity in journalism,” Moran said. “I’d put the work I did at ABC News out there as excruciatingly fair.”Less than six weeks before his departure, Moran conducted a combative Oval Office interview with Trump marking the president’s first 100 days back in office.Trump rebuked Moran while being questioned about Russian President Vladimir Putin.”I don’t trust you. I don’t trust a lot of people,” Trump said. “I don’t trust you. Look at you. You’re so happy to do the interview, and then you start hitting me with these fake questions.”Fox News Digital reached out to ABC for further comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Iran’s military is offering cash rewards for anyone who kills or captures an American service member as fighting with the U.S. and its allies continues across the Middle East.
Iranian Army chief Amir Hatami announced Sunday that anyone who kills or captures an “invading American military personnel” and hands them over will receive the equivalent of approximately $30,000.
“Anyone who kills or captures and hands over an invading American military personnel will receive a reward equivalent to $30,000 or 5 billion tomans from Iran’s Army,” Hatami said.
Female participants are being offered twice as much.
“Courageous Iranian women who carry out such an action will receive double the reward,” he added.

According to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency, Hatami claimed the scheme was established following a “large number of requests” from people seeking to provide financial support.
However, Iran did not explain where prospective bounty hunters would encounter American troops.
There is currently no known deployment of U.S. ground forces inside Iran.
The only publicly known American ground operation there during the conflict was an April mission to rescue a downed U.S. pilot.
The announcement comes amid a war that has now dragged on for nearly six months.
The conflict began in February when the U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iranian military targets.
Nearly 40 days of fighting were followed by a ceasefire in April and then a framework for peace negotiations in June.
Those diplomatic efforts subsequently collapsed, leaving the two sides exchanging sporadic fire.
Recent fighting has been concentrated largely in southern Iran and around the Strait of Hormuz, the strategically important waterway connecting the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea.
Tensions surrounding the strait have become particularly important as Washington seeks to maintain freedom of navigation through a route critical to global energy supplies.
The bounty announcement marks another escalation in Tehran’s rhetoric against the U.S., even as the absence of American ground forces inside Iran leaves unclear how the scheme would actually operate.

Gillian Anderson is looking back at the sacrifices she made as her Hollywood career took off — and acknowledging that some of those choices came at a cost for her family.In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the 58-year-old actress — who became a household name playing FBI Special Agent Dana Scully on “The X-Files” — opened up about her regrets as a young mother and explained how the show’s grueling production schedule affected her ability to be present for her daughter.”I have absolutely no regrets in my life,” Anderson initially told the outlet before reconsidering. “No, there are a couple of things, in terms of early parenting, that I now would say, I wish I’d thought this through or I wish I’d been less selfish.”SCARLETT JOHANSSON, WHO EARNED $43 MILLION IN 2025, SAYS LIFE IS A CONSTANT ‘DEFICIT’ AT HOMEAnderson became a mother at 26, welcoming daughter Piper with her first husband, “The X-Files” assistant art director Clyde Klotz, just over a year after she began filming the hit Fox sci-fi series.Her career was rapidly accelerating at the time, with “The X-Files” becoming a global phenomenon and Anderson facing grueling days on set.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERAfter Anderson and Klotz divorced in 1997, Piper split her time between her mother, who was working on “The X-Files” in Los Angeles, and her father in Vancouver.OLIVIA WILDE SPEAKS OUT ABOUT THE EXACT MOMENT SHE KNEW RELATIONSHIP WITH JASON SUDEIKIS WAS OVERIn an effort to maintain consistency in her daughter’s education, Piper attended a French lycée in both cities. The arrangement, however, meant the young girl was regularly traveling between her parents.”It was intense for her, with no French in the household, to suddenly be getting a plane every three weeks,” Anderson recalled. “It’s a lot to ask of a six-year-old.”The actress said she was working 17-hour days and didn’t believe she was in a position to push back against the demanding schedule, despite being one of the show’s two central stars alongside David Duchovny.TOM SELLECK SAYS ‘BLUE BLOODS’ CAST MADE MAJOR SACRIFICE TO SAVE SHOW BEFORE CANCELLATION”That show couldn’t have done without [me], and so I had leverage that I’m not sure I knew,” Anderson said.Anderson has previously spoken about wondering whether she could have made different choices as a working mother.LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

I could have chosen that, that could happen,” she said. “But sometimes it feels like why would you, if you keep getting work as an actor, doing things you dreamt of doing and being offered incredible roles at this age, while paying the bills, and you still get to see them a huge percentage of the time and they witness a mother enjoying her work?Her approach to parenting changed when she later welcomed sons Oscar and Felix with businessman Mark Griffiths.GOLDIE HAWN SOUNDS THE ALARM ON CHILDHOOD CELEBRITY CULTURE: ‘ALL I CAN SAY IS IT’S A NIGHTMARE’Despite reflecting on what she might have done differently, Anderson has continued working steadily decades after “The X-Files” made her famous.HEATHER GRAHAM SAYS CLASSMATES DISMISSED HER AS ‘NERDY’ BEFORE HOLLYWOOD BREAKTHROUGH PROVED THEM WRONGHer more recent credits include “The Crown,” “Sex Education” and “The Salt Path.” She also stars opposite Hannah Einbinder in filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun’s “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.Anderson suggested that her relationship with work remains complicated as she approaches 60.”I feel very lucky to still be working,” she told The Sunday Times, adding that while she once imagined slowing down in her 60s to direct and make art, she is reconsidering those plans.”I’m having so much fun,” she said.

Shannon Bream of Fox News
President Donald Trump, who is often seen watching the Fox News Channel, is going scorched earth on Shannon Bream, calling the anchor’s “Fox News Sunday” broadcast “beyond redemption.”
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump said: “Watching FoxNews with Shannon Bream is always like watching the Worst of Fake News CNN.”
“I don’t know Shannon, but she always seems to pick guests, charts, and ‘polls’ that are negative, never talking about all of the incredible things that the Trump Administration has done, like Total Border Control, the Most Successful Stock Market in History (81 Record Days in a year and a half!), Biggest Investment in our Country in History (19.2 Trillion Dollars!), breaking the Record by many times over, the Great Military Victories over Venezuela and the essential Denuclearization of Iran – The rest to follow! – The Lowest Crime Rate in Recorded History, the Lowest Murder Rate since 1900 – 125 years! – The Highest Number of People that have Jobs in the United States, EVER, the fact that the United States is more RESPECTED throughout the World than at any time in Memory, the Biggest Drop in Drug Prices, over 500%, than has ever been seen before, which will lead to tremendous SAVINGS in Healthcare, the Rebuilding of our Military, in my First Term, making it the Strongest in U.S. History, with the inclusion of Space Force, and so many other things!

“Yet, week after week, I see Shannon ‘interviewing’ hostile guests, and having losers like Juan Williams, who got fired like a dog from PBS, was thrown off of The Five for somebody even dumber than him, Jessica Tarlov, and when he saw me walking into the Headquarters of Fox, he went CRAZY, begging me for a picture – ‘Could I have a picture with you? It would be such a Great Honor!’
“In any event, Shannon’s ‘show’ is beyond redemption. Fortunately, MAGA, which is close to 100% of the Republican Party, understands that, and watch her ‘Ratings’ start to fall. Chris Wallace was bad, but Shannon is even worse!
The president concluded: “Oh well, it couldn’t have had too much of an impact, because I’m now heading back into the Oval Office to continue working on more TRIUMPHS and SUCCESSES for our Country!”

How Socialism Gains Popularity

Authored by Sylvia Xu via The Epoch Times,

More than 80% agreed economic hardship can make socialist policies attractive even to people who oppose socialism.

Most Americans see communism in an unfavorable light, and a strong majority of Epoch readers say it’s incompatible with the United States’ founding principles. Yet socialism, an early stage of communism, continues to attract people by promising equal wages, low costs, and public benefits.

The goal sounds appealing, but the means have historically included higher taxes and extensive state control.

When asked about a movement in the United States to embrace socialism, Vice President JD Vance said in an Aug. 13 Fox News interview, “Our response to that can’t be to just ignore the economic concerns that I think are feeding this rising interest in socialism.”

American citizens deserve a good life in this country and a good government to make that happen, said Vance.

The Trump administration is rebuilding the industrial base and the heartland, making streets safer, and making it possible for young people to afford a home, Vance said.

“This is how you stop socialism.”

“You don’t stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market—as much as I love the free market—you stop socialism by making people’s lives better, and that’s what we’re trying to do every single day,” Vance said.

Here is a look at Epoch readers’ attitudes towards socialist ideology and a government-controlled economy.

Socialism and Cost

The majority of survey respondents are against the socialist ideology of high taxes and income redistribution.

Ninety percent of readers opposed substantially higher taxes on high-income Americans to fund benefits for working- and middle-class families.

A whopping 97 percent opposed using the tax system not only to fund the government, but also to make incomes more equal, with 92 percent strongly against.

The same 97 percent agreed that the public ultimately absorbs the cost of free government benefits.

Additionally, more than 90 percent of readers would not consider voting for a democratic socialist candidate even if they supported the candidate’s economic policies.

Government Control

Around 96 percent of survey takers oppose greater government economic control in exchange for greater economic security.

Nearly all those polled (98 percent) were against government determining wages and prices rather than leaving them to the free market.

Ninety-three percent opposed allowing extensive government intervention in wages, prices, and social benefits, even if private ownership were preserved.

When it comes to life and affordability, readers’ attitudes softened toward government intervention.

Just over 80 percent of respondents opposed government limits on prices (85 percent), a higher mandated minimum wage (83 percent), and limits on rent increases (81 percent).

Public Benefits

Almost all of those surveyed (97 percent) opposed government providing more basic needs if it weakens individual initiative and productivity.

While 90 percent opposed fare-free public transportation, there was a modest drop to 80 percent who were against taxpayer-funded child care for needy families.

When asked about homeowners funding public schools through property taxes even if they do not use public schools, 67 percent of survey takers opposed, 16 percent were unsure, and 17 percent supported the idea.

How Socialism Gains Popularity

A majority of respondents (94 percent) agreed socialism can expand gradually by eroding private control of property while retaining the label of capitalism.

A similar majority of readers (93 percent) agreed that socialist policies can gain support when presented as benefits rather than as government control.

Eighty-seven percent agreed that people may reject socialism by name while accepting its policies one at a time.

Meanwhile, 82 percent agreed economic hardship can make socialist policies attractive even to people who oppose socialism.

Meanwhile, in the Democrat hellhole of New York City…
An innocent 33-year-old woman died in a Bronx bar bathroom very early Sunday morning after she was struck by a stray bullet.
According to police, gunfire erupted during a street brawl that broke out early Sunday morning outside the Ooh La La Lounge near Bergen Street and Howard Avenue.
A female victim ran into the bar bathroom after being shot and bled out, according to The New York Post.
An innocent male bystander was also struck by a bullet, but he survived.
The New York Post reported:
An innocent 33-year-old woman bled to death in a Brooklyn bar bathroom after she ran for help when a stray bullet hit her during a Sunday morning street brawl, police and sources said.
The deadly gunfire erupted when a fight broke out between a group of about 100 people outside the Ooh La La Lounge near Bergen Street and Howard Avenue around 2:23 a.m. in Crown Heights, according to the NYPD.
An errant bullet struck Sofronie Hartzog in the back and a 34-year-old man in the gut — both unintended targets, police said.
Hartzog ran into the bar, where she collapsed in a restroom.
Medics rushed her to One Brooklyn Health-One Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, but she could not be saved.

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Sunday said the USS Abraham Lincoln has recorded one of the lowest numbers of mental health cases in the Navy, amid mounting allegations of poor conditions aboard the carrier.The Lincoln, which has been at sea for more than 260 days supporting the war with Iran, has been at the center of a dispute over allegations of supply shortages, plumbing problems and crew members threatening to jump overboard. Officials have repeatedly denied such claims and announced Friday that the carrier is expected to be replaced soon.In a statement posted by CENTCOM, commander Adm. Brad Cooper touted the carrier’s mental health record among the Navy’s 11 active aircraft carriers after reportedly visiting the ship over the weekend.”My time aboard USS Abraham Lincoln yesterday was awe-inspiring. I wish every American could see the crew in action. You would beam with absolute pride when witnessing their camaraderie, teamwork and resilience,” Cooper said, according to the post on X. “Here’s an important fact: Of the U.S. Navy’s 11 active aircraft carriers, the Lincoln currently has among the lowest number of cases related to mental health.”US NAVY RELEASES PHOTOS OF ‘FRESH MEALS,’ PUSHES BACK ON REPORTS OF FOOD SHORTAGES ON MIDDLE EAST WARSHIPSIn a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Cooper added that many of the allegations involving food and hot water were old concerns raised months ago that have since been addressed by the ship’s leadership.”Recent media reporting has portrayed varying perspectives on operational tempo, crew morale and the realities facing our deployed forces. What I found aboard the Lincoln is that many elements of those stories are old news. I chatted with junior enlisted personnel and junior officers in small groups. Issues related to food, hot water and other concerns raised months ago were addressed by leadership and resolved,” he said.In his CENTCOM statement, Cooper acknowledged that despite the ship’s low number of mental health cases and improved conditions, extended deployments at sea can still be challenging, as some sailors may respond differently than others to the demands of prolonged missions.”This doesn’t mean that all is perfect. Find any of the nearly 4 million Navy veterans in America today and they will likely tell you that service at sea for long periods isn’t for everyone. It is uniquely challenging and tough, and every single one of us, including me, reacts to stressors in different ways,” he said.TANKERS ATTACKED AS TEHRAN, TRUMP BATTLE OVER CONTROL OF STRAIT OF HORMUZCooper credited the ship’s leadership with fostering a culture that supports crew resilience and gives mental health the same necessary attention as “physical health and spiritual health.””I applaud Lincoln’s leadership — the senior enlisted leaders in the Chief Petty Officers Mess in particular — for stepping up and making mental health and crew resilience a leadership priority,” Cooper said.”To all our Sailors and Marines aboard the ship, keep up the great work and fair winds and following seas on the journey home.”President Donald Trump said Friday that the Lincoln will soon be “replaced with another very similar ship,” which is currently en route to the Middle East. The WSJ reported Thursday that the USS George Washington is heading to the region from the Pacific.Allegations about conditions aboard the Lincoln emerged following reports of numerous complaints, including food shortages, contaminated water, toilet problems, and a spike in suicidal ideation after months without a port call.Sean Parnell, who said he experienced a 485-day deployment in Afghanistan, blasted the media reports Friday, calling the accusations twisted.”The media treatment of the USS Abraham Lincoln is something different. Legitimate challenges of a long combat deployment are being twisted into a false narrative, while the genuine difficulties faced by military families are being used for headlines. That is shameful,” he said in a post on X.

Chrissy Metz is firing back at the haters commenting on her weight loss.During a recent appearance on “The Tamsen Show” podcast, the 45-year-old actress spoke about why she chose to start taking a GLP-1 medication and slammed haters who comment on her body.”It’s not that I don’t have people and naysayers and people who comment all kinds of stuff still to this day,” she said. “Like I don’t know when people will stop doing that. I don’t think it ever will happen.”She then recalled a recent incident in which a distant relative congratulated her for “taking control of your weight,” as “weight has always been an issue in our family.”JACK OSBOURNE FIRES BACK AT BODY SHAMERS CALLING HIM ‘GROSSLY UNDERWEIGHT’Metz explained that the relative is “an overweight woman” herself, so she understands the struggles of living in the world as an overweight person. She said comments about her weight from the relative don’t sting as much, but added, “The other comments are a little…it’s wild to me.””It’s interesting what people say cause would they ever say it to you on the streets? Never. Never,” she explained. “They’re like, ‘Oh, Chrissy, you’re pretty, but them eyebrows.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my god, it doesn’t matter what I do. It doesn’t matter.'”She then shared some of the types of comments she received, including “Why’d you wear that? Why did you do this? Like why aren’t you losing weight? Oh, you’re losing weight?””It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what you do,” Metz said. “And I know it’s not personal, but it can be taxing, but you sometimes just got to just shut it off cuz no matter what you do, somebody’s going to have something to say.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERMetz, who is currently starring in the Broadway musical “& Juliet,” called receiving all the criticism and “still doing what you want to do…an act of rebellion.”The “This Is Us” actress also discussed her use of a GLP-1 medication this week during an appearance on “Today.”She told the podcast host that she was always “skeptical” of GLP-1s and that it was something she “was so afraid of even sort of partaking in,” but her mentality changed when her father “unfortunately passed away from obesity complications.”One of the ways in which the medication helped her was by quieting the food noise in her mind, which she described as being “loud.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

And so, yeah…I feel better on the medication.”The actress is now partnering with Ro, a telehealth company that provides medications for a number of issues, including weight loss.
