Here are 3 Big Things to start this hour—   Number One— It's the Day before Thanksgiving—the biggest travel day of the year—and the second biggest bar night of the year—so I am asking you—please be careful and please take your time out there—I need you back on Monday—   Number Two— MSNBC is caught looking dirty again—this time a revelation that Al Sharpton's organization got $500,000 prior to doing a friendly interview with Kamala Harris—just more pay to play political coverage—   Number Three— Speaking of dishonest news networks—

In this episode of the Trans Lesson Plan Podcast, we explore the fascinating history of Casa Susanna, a hidden sanctuary in the Catskill Mountains of New York during the 1950s and 60s.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 10: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: First he held a news conference where the reporters didn't have microphones. Then he held a news conference where the reporters basically didn't get to ask questions. What's next? A Trump News Conference without Trump? Sounds like a good idea. Incredibly, CNN ran the whole nonsensical non-news conference rant live. As somebody who was hired by CNN as its first year ended in 1981 I have a secret for them – the acronym stands for “Cable NEWS Network.” You're no longer news. Cut to a test pattern, fire everybody, and start from scratch. Which also applies to Trump's running mate. I'm beginning to think J.D. Vance is actually a Democratic plant. New Kensington, Pennsylvania. At VFW Post 92. That's Veterans of Foreign Wars, the post number is 92, and there is still the Sarah Palin rule. Vance called it "VFA," forgot the number, had to fish into his pocket for a card that had the number written on it, and forgot the Palin rule (if you're an idiot running for Vice President, and you have to remember something, just write it on your hand). There are more polls and Kamalapalooza continues. She's pulled off a nine-point swing in Pennsylvania and a ten-point swing nationally. So naturally Politico led with 28 paragraphs on Vivek Ramaswamy insisting Trump was listening to his advice to focus on the issues and not attack her. This is while the Republican campaign is imploding so quickly that now Frank Luntz is wondering if Trump is trying to lose. And as the Trump campaign continues to try to insist it has nothing to do with Project 2025, Media Matters uncovers the implausible. There's a Project 2025 training video starring Karoline Leavitt, who is now Trump's Campaign spokesperson. As the video ends she tells Project 2025 trainees that if they need any help to just contact her. B-Block (23:57) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Republican House Candidate accused, as a cop, of handcuffing an infant. RFK Junior hires somebody to program political ads to you based on data on your phone. And baseball's new low: the Mets' ceremonial first pitch was thrown out by the Hawk Tuah woman. I presume she threw a spitball. C-Block (33:10) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: It's got everything: Suspense, Baseball, Red Barber, a story that was turned into a movie with Peter Sellers. It's "The Catbird Set."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Look, let's face it, our industry can have a bad reputation.And I can see why. Just scroll through YouTube or social media and you'll see self-appointed gurus shouting about tricks and hacks and shortcuts.But sustainably successful marketing is not about shortcuts, it's about digging into the very essence of what it means to be a human being.Sounds pompous, I know, but hear me out.Effective marketing deeply understands and portrays human realities, behaviors, and emotions. It connects authentically with people's experiences, desires, and needs.So when I read this lesson in a podcast guest application – ‘marketing is often about showcasing human truths' – I knew I had found a kindred spirit I wanted to sit down with and learn from Karuna Rawal, CMO and CRO, Nature's Fynd [https://www.naturesfynd.com/].Nature's Fynd has raised $500 million in funding since its founding in 2012. Backers include celebrity investors like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Al Gore, and Jack Ma; along with institutional investors like SoftBank and Blackstone.Rawal leads a team of 17 across Marketing, Sales, PR, Innovation, Culinary, Business Development and Creative – plus three agencies. Startups run fast and lean, she says.Here are some lessons from Rawal that emerged in our discussion:Marketing is often about showcasing human truthsWhere there's a will, there's a wayMarketing matters, even for legacy brandsSet a high bar for quality customer experiencesAlways choose to do the harder right thing than the easy wrong thing Align strategy with creativityDiscussed in this episodeCraft an AI strategy that resonates with your customers' human truth.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/25/2024): 3:05pm- During yesterday's show, Director of Strategic Communications at the Republican National Committee Tommy Pigott highlighted the difference between Donald Trump's weekend appearance in Philadelphia and Joe Biden's recent trip to the city—Trump left a $500 tip at Tony & Nick's Steaks, while Joe Biden got confused in a Wawa. Pigott explained: “If the Biden campaign actually wanted to put these concerns about Joe Biden to bed, they would put him out there more in unscripted environments—but they don't…Joe Biden cannot do anything without being perpetually confused.” Will Biden be able to hold it together for 90-minutes during Thursday's debate? 3:20pm- Media Attacks Judge Aileen Cannon: In his latest opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, William McGurn writes of the “vilification of Judge Cannon” by The New York Times's news division: “It's similar to the statement by 51 former intelligence operatives two weeks before the 2020 election that Hunter Biden's laptop “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Their statement was sprinkled with caveats that didn't matter because its only job was to give Joe Biden something to get him through the last crucial days of the election.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/taking-down-judge-aileen-cannon-1c4bf9ab?mod=opinion_lead_pos9 3:35pm- During MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough attacked the credibility of Judge Aileen Cannon—the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida judge who is overseeing Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents case. Similarly, while appearing on CNN, former White House Ethics Czar Norm Eisen questioned Judge Cannon's motives—suggesting she is simply doing the bidding of Donald Trump. Rich explains that the media is making a coordinated effort to delegitimize Judge Cannon. 3:45pm- Will Donald Trump be able to attend the Republican National Convention? On July 11th, Trump has his sentencing hearing for his conviction in the “hush money” trial involving payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Rich notes that Trump could—unjustly—be sentenced to house arrest or even prison time. The RNC convention begins on July 15th and ends on July 18th. 4:05pm- While appearing on CNN, National Press Secretary for the 2024 Trump Campaign Karoline Leavitt had her interview cut short by anchor Kasie Hunt. Hunt accused Leavitt of attacking her CNN colleagues Jake Tapper and Dana Bash by suggesting the two moderators of Thursday's debate have regularly expressed disdain for Donald Trump and support for Joe Biden. A montage pieced together by Newsbusters proves Leavitt's point—Tapper and Bash are not objective. One clip even shows Tapper referring to Trump's presidency as a “national nightmare.” 4:10pm- Nicholas Fondacaro of Newsbusters reports: “CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida's First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachary Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a civil trial after they allegedly defamed him regarding his work in getting people out of Afghanistan.” He continues: “The case hinges on CNN's use of the phrases ‘black market' and ‘exploited' to describe Young's legitimate business helping corporately sponsored Afghans escape the country as it collapsed around them and the Taliban retook control.” Fondacaro writes that Young ultimately saved 24 people. You can read the full article here: https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2024/06/24/cnn-could-be-forced-pay-upwards-1-billion-defamation-suit 4:30pm- A “fat beach day”? Yes, it's a real thing—and it's coming to New York as part of an effort to support body positivity. 4:40pm- MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell hilariously asked Biden Campaign spokesperson Adrienne Elrod whether it is a problem that all of President Joe Biden's debate advisers are “white men in their 60s.” 4:45pm- Could Black voters in Milwaukee determine the 2024 presidential election? Brakkton Booker of Politico writes: “Polls suggest the president is trailing his 2020 performance in [Milwaukee] and surrounding county. In Wisconsin's April Democratic primary, his performance within the city limits lagged well behind the rest of the state. There's one big reason why: Black voters in Milwaukee. An influential bloc that can determine if the state remains blue or flips this fall, these voters have serious and lingering doubts about Biden and whether he's delivered on his promises to them. There's no danger that Donald Trump will carry this historically Democratic city in November. But there is a considerable risk that an anemic showing in Milwaukee could cost Biden this critical swing state—and possibly the election.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/06/21/biden-black-voters-enthusiasm-gap-milwaukee-00163496 4:50pm- Zeoli Show History: For the first time ever, Rich compliments Matt's return music selection. 5:05pm- Could Black voters in Milwaukee determine the 2024 presidential election? Brakkton Booker of Politico writes: “Polls suggest the president is trailing his 2020 performance in [Milwaukee] and surrounding county.

For example, Democrat political strategist James Comer recently claimed that if Donald Trump wins, he will establish a “theocracy.” Meanwhile, Associate Editor of The Washington Post Ruth Marcus is predicting that the Supreme Court may “chip away at the right to same-sex marriage.” 5:25pm- Hillary Clinton is BACK! with a new book due to be released just weeks before the presidential election: "Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty.” 5:40pm- BREAKING NEWS: A House Judiciary Committee investigation has found evidence suggesting “CIA contractors colluded with the Biden Campaign to discredit [the] Hunter Biden laptop story” ahead of the 2020 presidential election. You can read more details here: https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-information-shows-cia-contractors-colluded-biden-campaign-discredit-hunter 6:05pm- Rich has to leave early to host 1210 WPHT's Politics and Pints with New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr from Zlock Performing Arts Center Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Pennsylvania. America's Radio Guest Host Mike Opelka closes out the show! 6:15pm- Hillary Clinton is BACK! with a new book due to be released just weeks before the presidential election: "Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty.” 6:30pm- Earlier this month, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee. During one notable exchange, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) asked who—or what— gave Garland the authority to appoint special counsel Jack Smith? Judge Aileen Cannon—the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida judge handling Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents case—is considering whether Smith's appointment is legally invalid. 6:50pm- Over the weekend, Congressman Jamaal Bowman—perhaps best known for pulling a fire alarm in a Congressional office building—held a profanity laced rally in the Bronx. During the event, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio made sure she embarrassed herself as well by screaming and dancing on stage like a lunatic. Rep. Bowman may very well lose his primary battle to George Latimer later tonight.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- While appearing on CNN, National Press Secretary for the 2024 Trump Campaign Karoline Leavitt had her interview cut short by anchor Kasie Hunt. Hunt accused Leavitt of attacking her CNN colleagues Jake Tapper and Dana Bash by suggesting the two moderators of Thursday's debate have regularly expressed disdain for Donald Trump and support for Joe Biden. A montage pieced together by Newsbusters proves Leavitt's point—Tapper and Bash are not objective.

Yes, it's a real thing—and it's coming to New York as part of an effort to support body positivity. 4:40pm- MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell hilariously asked Biden Campaign spokesperson Adrienne Elrod whether it is a problem that all of President Joe Biden's debate advisers are “white men in their 60s.” 4:45pm- Could Black voters in Milwaukee determine the 2024 presidential election? Brakkton Booker of Politico writes: “Polls suggest the president is trailing his 2020 performance in [Milwaukee] and surrounding county. In Wisconsin's April Democratic primary, his performance within the city limits lagged well behind the rest of the state. There's one big reason why: Black voters in Milwaukee. An influential bloc that can determine if the state remains blue or flips this fall, these voters have serious and lingering doubts about Biden and whether he's delivered on his promises to them. There's no danger that Donald Trump will carry this historically Democratic city in November. But there is a considerable risk that an anemic showing in Milwaukee could cost Biden this critical swing state—and possibly the election.” You can read the full article here: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/06/21/biden-black-voters-enthusiasm-gap-milwaukee-00163496 4:50pm- Zeoli Show History: For the first time ever, Rich compliments Matt's return music selection.

CNN experienced a meteoric rise in the 1980s and 1990s. When CNN was being led by Ted Turner...the network was known as the most trusted name in news...while being the industry leader in cable news coverage. However...over the last two decades...CNN has seen a rapid decline. We discuss the rise and fall of CNN...and what ultimately led to the decline of the network. We compare the early days of CNN with Bernard Shaw and Larry King...to the modern CNN led by Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon. We discuss the lost credibility at CNN over the last two decades...and question if CNN is capable of rising again.

The damage report cover Senator Charles Schumer tearing Fucker Carlson a new a$$hole: "To say January 6th was not violent is a lie pure and simple.

New masters, new direction: CNN fired Brian Stelter and cancelled his show Reliable Sources (which was on the air for 30 years) and then, on September 2nd, John Harwood, was pushed out the door as well.Cable News Network was the brainchild of Ted Turner and it was based on a revolutionary concept at the time, a concept that changed the notion that news could only be reported at fixed times throughout the day. CNN was the world's first 24-hour television news network, and it made its debut on June 1st 1980 from its HQ in Atlanta Georgia. As we said in the intro, in its first years of operation, CNN lost money and was ridiculed as the Chicken Noodle Network but they started growing, covering events all over the world LIVE and their audience grew. If you like our content, please become a patron. John Malone is a right-leaning billionaire libertarian, close friend of the Murdoch family, and key Warner Bros Discovery board member. In 2021, CNN at AT&T spined off and combined Warner Media with Discovery, so now CNN is a Warner Bros Discovery WBD entity. And with this change of corporate hands, came a new board and .. new masters. Both Brian Stelter and John Harwood described Donald Trump as a “demagogue” in their last appearances on the network. 1, 2 John Malone, a Fox News fan and Trump donor, has deep and longstanding ties with David Zaslav, the CEO of WBD. In an interview with CNBC in 2021, John Malone said, “I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing.” 3 He proposed a model: “Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have ‘news' news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions.” Hen also said, according to Vox, that “a time of change” is coming.. Is CNN turning into Fox News Light? Malone has denied he is “directly involved” in any decisions about CNN, but multiple current and former staffers who spoke to journalists are indicating that Malone is indirectly dictating an agenda to Chris Licht, the newly installed CNN boss. 4 1.

News wasn't always readily available at the click of a button. Ted Turner forever changed that in 1980 when he brought the Cable News Network to life.  In this episode, hosts Cole and Bill Smead are joined by Lisa Napoli, author of the book Up All Night: Ted Turner, CNN and the Birth of 24-Hour News. Lisa shares incredible insight into the life of Ted Turner and how the media mogul rolled the dice with the launch of CNN. She also discusses the evolution of cable news, its transition from “pure-play journalism” to “theatrics”, and what the 24-hour news cycle might look like in the future.

Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center.

Part two of our program on The Sheppard Murder case which spawned the American “Trial of The Century” before OJ. A physician is suspected of murdering his wife in a quiet, affluent 1950s Midwestern bedroom community. Did Sam Sheppard kill Marilyn Sheppard? That is the topic of this week's edition of Unpleasant Dreams. --- Cassandra Harold is your host. EM Hilker is our principal writer and researcher with additional writing by Cassandra Harold. Jim Harold is our Executive Producer. Unpleasant Dreams is a production of Jim Harold Media. A copy of EM Hilker's original article can be found HERE -PODCAST TRANSCRIPT- Perhaps the most thorough and well-balanced of the Sheppard trials was the one held long, long after Marilyn Reese Sheppard's death. In the first installment of this saga, we discussed the first trial of her husband and accused killer, Sam, some of the questionable decisions made by the trial judge, and the media circus that surrounded it; we also explored briefly his retrial in the 1960s where the evidence intended to prove Sam's motive was kept from the jury and where the science of the time, much of which has been debunked over the roughly 40 years since the retrial, favoured Sam's innocence. This was the opportunity, in many ways, to finally reach the truth; a sequestered jury untainted by a riotous media, the benefits of the 50 years of advancement in both biological and behavioral sciences , and all the evidence on the table,   At last, the chance to accurately assess whether or not Sam H. Sheppard murdered his wife. FOR THE REST OF THE TRANSCRIPT CLICK HERE – FURTHER READING AND SOURCES – Affleck, John. “Bailey Testifies in Sheppard Case.” AP NEWS, Associated Press, 16 Feb. 2000.

In July of 2012, two young cousins went for a summer bike ride and never returned back home. Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10, and Elizabeth Collins, 8 vanished from Evansdale, Iowa, and wouldn’t be seen for months.

Andrea Yates appeared to have it all - she was intelligent, athletic, married to a NASA engineer, and had five beautiful children. One morning, after her husband left for work, that all changed. She had drowned all of her children, one at a time.

In June 1980, US media mogul Ted Turner launched the first TV station dedicated to 24 hour news, Cable News Network or CNN. We get a first-hand account of the early days of a channel that transformed news and politics. Plus, the end of Lebanon's civil war, the long fight for full voting rights for African-Americans and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's plan to become a film mogul.

Looking back, one could say that Laos was in an interesting place during World War II. The country was occupied by two forces, both allied and axis powers while simultaneously fighting off Thai forces near the border, underwent internal struggles due to the conflicting ideals of members of the royal family, and the country was involved in one of the most disastrous bombing tactics in the History of the World. Yet, despite these incident, the country still managed to fight their way towards eventual independence in the late 1970s. References 1.

In June 1980, US media mogul Ted Turner launched the first TV station dedicated to 24 hour news, Cable News Network or CNN. Some were sceptical that there would be enough news to stay on air, others warned that the public wouldn't be interested in news 24 hours a day. But it marked a shift in broadcast journalism and paved the way for many more rolling news stations across the world. Rebecca Kesby has been speaking to Senior Executive at CNN, Rick Davis, about how 24 hour news has influenced politics and what role it has to play in holding those in power to account. Rick also takes us back behind the scenes to when he was an output producer on launch day, June 1st 1980.

Depuis quarante ans, la chaîne américaine CNN couvre l’actualité du monde en direct. Comment fonctionne-t-elle ? Comment se positionne-t-elle face au président américain Donald Trump, qui la qualifie régulièrement de fake news ? Rencontre avec Cyril Vanier, un des présentateurs de CNN. Sur les Champs-Elysées, dans les bureaux parisiens de la chaîne américaine CNN, nous avons rencontré Cyril Vanier. Pendant dix ans, ce Franco-Christophien a été grand reporter, présentateur ou encore chroniqueur international sur France 24. En 2016, il a rejoint CNN, travaillant d'abord au siège à Atlanta où il présentait des journaux de nuit le week-end, puis à Londres d'où il coprésentait une tranche d'information diffusée à minuit heure française avant que la crise du coronavirus n'éclate. Avec lui, nous sommes revenus sur le lancement de CNN, le 1er juin 1980. Cable News Network était alors né d'un pari du magnat des médias Ted Turner : celui de diffuser de partout en direct vers le monde entier. La chaîne s'est peu à peu imposée, couvrant des événements d'importance comme la tentative d'assassinat de Reagan à Washington D.C. en mars 1981, l'explosion au décollage de la navette Challenger en 1986 et la guerre du golfe en 1991. « La recette de CNN n'a pas beaucoup changé. C'est être là où ça se passe, quand ça se passe », explique Cyril Vanier. « CNN a été la première à le faire, maintenant tout le monde le fait. CNN a de nombreux concurrents mais la promesse n'a pas changé. » CNN peut s'appuyer sur des effectifs quasi « pléthoriques » à travers le monde, rappelle-t-il, mais la chaîne « a vocation à mettre beaucoup de gens sur une histoire ». Dans le paysage actuel et très concurrentiel des médias, « CNN a décidé qu'il valait mieux être bon, très bon, sur moins d'histoires plutôt que de vouloir tout couvrir et s'essouffler à envoyer ses correspondants partout. (...) CNN met donc le paquet sur les histoires qui comptent pour CNN. » Dans cet entretien, on revient aussi sur les événements récents aux États-Unis avec les émeutes et la vague de protestation qui ont suivi la mort de George Floyd. CNN a couvert abondamment ces événements. Depuis la rue, à hauteur d’hommes et de femmes. Un journaliste noir-américain de la chaîne, Omar Jimenez, a été arrêté par la police alors qu'il était en direct à l'antenne. « C'est dingue. Franchement c'est révoltant, ça ne devrait pas arriver. » CNN, Trump et la polaristion de la politique américaine « On est dans un face à face, largement organisé par la Maison Blanche, entre les médias d'une manière générale et Trump. (...) Et Trump a CNN dans le pif, de même que le New York Times, le Washington Post », explique Cyril Vanier. « Nous on estime que c'est parce qu'on fait notre travail et qu'on ne lui passe rien contrairement à d'autres médias qui lui sont beaucoup plus favorables. » « Cette confrontation, ce n'est pas nous qui l'avons cherchée et qu'elle n'est pas gratuite. On ne cherche pas à se payer le président (...), on relate les faits. Et c'est un président qui ne supporte pas qu'on relate beaucoup de faits parce que dans sa vision du monde, dans sa cosmologie, les choses ne sont pas telles qu'elles peuvent apparaître à des journalistes indépendants. Donc souvent Trump est furieux contre nous comme contre d'autres. » Cyril Vanier rappelle que l'attaque continue des médias fait partie de la stratégie de Donald Trump. « Là où ça rend le travail des médias difficiles c'est qu'il faut veiller scrupuleusement à ne jamais rentrer dans son jeu », ne pas se positionner comme des « ennemis », ne pas « se laisser manipuler ». « CNN a vocation à être sa propre source d'information sur autant de sujets que faire se peut. Donc le travail de collecte d'information et surtout de vérification est très robuste », précise Cyril Vanier. Ainsi, une équipe à trois têtes valide chaque contenu sur trois dimensions : éditorial, juridique et déontologique. Une des clés du succès de CNN, ce sont ses investissements sur le numérique. Avec plus de 200 millions de visiteurs unique par mois, l’offre d'information numérique de CNN est l'une des plus consultée aux États-Unis. La chaîne a réussi à rajeunir son audience. Grâce à des vidéos produites pour les réseaux sociaux, elle est l’une des marques d’information les plus prisées par les 15-25 ans. « CNN fait partie des quelques chaînes au monde avec un budget très conséquent que n'ont pas beaucoup d'autres chaînes. (...) Quand on a un budget limité, il faut souvent choisir ses batailles. CNN a la possibilité d'avoir plus d'ambition. »  Notre invité rappelle d'ailleurs qu'il n'y a pas de coupes prévues dans les budgets de CNN malgré la crise actuelle.

The Calgary Zoo in Canada is sending two giant pandas back to China due to a shortage of bamboo.The zoo said in a statement that it usually flies in bamboo from China to feed the animals, but the Covid-19 pandemic had disrupted flights and caused delays in supplies.The duo, named Er Shun and Da Mao, were supposed to stay in Canada until 2023 as part of a 10-year agreement with China, but the zoo decided to send them back early out of concern that delays could worsen if there's a second wave of coronavirus cases.A panda's diet consists almost entirely of fresh bamboo, the Calgary Zoo said, and the animals typically eat about 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of it each day.Much of the bamboo Er Shun and Da Mao ate before the pandemic was flown in directly to Calgary from China, but those flights have been canceled.The zoo said it tried to find new bamboo suppliers to keep the pandas fed, but encountered several logistical issues. They also worry that these new supply lines could be disrupted at a moment's notice, leaving the pandas completely without food."We believe the best and safest place for Er Shun and Da Mao to be during these challenging and unprecedented times is where bamboo is abundant and easy to access," the president and CEO of the Calgary Zoo, Dr. Clément Lanthier, said in a statement. "This was an incredibly difficult decision to make but the health and well-being of the animals we love and care for always comes first."Er Shun and Da Mao arrived in Canada in 2014 and spent five years at the Toronto Zoo before moving to Calgary in March 2018 with cubs Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue, the Calgary Zoo said. Those cubs have been moved to China, CNN media partner CBC reported.Lanthier told CBC that the zoo began the process to move the pandas a few weeks ago and hopes to have permits approved this week, though he would like to see the process expedited.Giant pandas are among some of the rarest animals on the planet, though efforts to preserve the species have shown some success in recent years. In 2016, the giant panda's status was upgraded from "endangered" to "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. There are only an estimated 1,864 of them living in the wild, according to the World Wildlife Fund.China has for years sent giant pandas abroad as a sign of friendship and cooperation between Beijing and other countries as part of a campaign known as "panda diplomacy," offering foreigners a chance to see these animals in person while also fostering ties between governments.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2020 Cable News Network, Inc., a WarnerMedia Company.

Don't drink bleach. That seems obvious like along the lines of don't go swimming when there's lightning or run for president when you have no interest in governing. But yet countless cleaning products had to take to social media discouraging users from drinking them because Donald Trump said it could knock out coronavirus.

The Oscars are making what's described as a one-time-only concession by allowing movies initially made available via streaming or video on demand to compete for best picture in next year's awards.The decision came from the board for the group that presides over the Academy Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, also made several other changes to the awards process, among them the consolidation of sound editing and sound mixing into one "sound" category.The Academy cited the forced closure of theatres due to the Covid-19 pandemic, noting that only movies with a "previously planned theatrical release" would be eligible. Previously, films needed to have at least a week-long theatrical run in order to qualify for consideration.In a statement, Academy president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson stressed that the organization's commitment to the theatrical experience is "unchanged and unwavering." The Academy has faced pressure to relax its rules as Netflix, especially, pushes for inclusion in the awards competition.Director Steven Spielberg, among other high-profile members, has spoken out about maintaining the distinction between streaming and theatrical releases.The date for the 93rd annual Academy Awards remains Feb. 28 of next year, although the Academy acknowledged that additional changes might be necessary, "based on national guidelines, state-mandated government orders and Academy-determined best practices."After low ratings for this year's Oscars, the board approved several additional procedural changes, among them allowing all members to vote in the international feature film category, formerly known as best foreign-language film.The Academy also announced that the current award season will be the last in which studios are allowed to distribute DVD screeners to voters. Citing environmental concerns, distribution of will shift to digital versions in 2021.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2020 Cable News Network, Inc., a WarnerMedia Company. All rights reserved.

America's "doctors" don't seem to be dispensing the best advice during the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Oz says opening up schools is appetizing. Dr. Phil says more people die crashing cars into swimming pools yet we don't close the country for that. And Dr. Drew downplayed the virus for weeks.

The survival chances of young orca whales are boosted by the presence of their grandmothers, especially in times of food scarcity, according to new research that offers a clue as to the evolutionary purpose of menopause.While female orcas normally stop reproducing in their 30s and 40s, they can live for many decades following menopause, said the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday.Scientists analysed 36 years of data from the Center for Whale Research on killer whales in Canada and the United States. They found that post-reproductive whales were especially important because they were the most knowledgeable when it came to hunting."The death of a post-menopausal grandmother can have important repercussions for her family group," said Dan Franks, senior author of the study and a professor of biology at the University of York.He added that breeding grandmothers were less capable of providing the same level of support to baby calves, as they were busy taking care of their own offspring.The study also revealed that orca calves that had lost their grandmothers were more likely to die than those who were accompanied by them. The impact on a calf of losing a post-menopausal grandmother was also highest in years when the whales' prey salmon was scarce. Orcas are among only a small number of mammals known to go through menopause."Our new findings show that just as in humans, grandmothers that have gone through menopause are better able to help their grand offspring," said Darren Croft, a professor from the University of Exeter who participated in the study."These benefits to the family group can help explain why menopause has evolved in killer whales just as it has in humans."The research could provide important assessments relating to the conversation of the killer whale population, which has faced growing threats from the decline of food sources and climate change. The southern resident killer whales, which were featured in the research, have been listed as an endangered species by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), a US-based nature conservation group.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2019 Cable News Network, Inc., a WarnerMedia Company.
