Podcast appearances and mentions of Rupert Murdoch

The boys head to prison on Devil's Island to discuss 1973's “Papillon”! One of the highest-grossing movies of the year, this true-story account of Steve McQueen's character befriending Dustin Hoffman's character to help keep each other alive and prepare their escape from the no-chance-of-return prison, a world away from their native France. Made by the team behind Oscar-winner “Patton” from 1971, shot very much on location, some call this McQueen's best performance. Before we get into it, John gives us a mini-review of “Hamnet”, the romantic drama film by Chloé Zhao starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, based on the book based on the play.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!On a cold December night in 1969, a woman vanished from her comfortable Wimbledon home without a trace. Within hours, the phone rang: a man calling himself “M3” claimed she'd been taken by the mafia, demanded £1 million, and insisted she would die if the police were called. What he didn't realize was that he'd kidnapped the wrong woman.This episode unravels the kidnapping and presumed murder of 55-year-old Muriel McKay—mistaken for Rupert Murdoch's wife, targeted in an elaborate ransom plot, and held at a remote Hertfordshire farm by brothers Arthur and Nizamodeen Hosein. We'll walk through the chilling ransom calls, the botched money drops, and the landmark trial that secured a murder conviction without a body. More than five decades later, Muriel's family are still searching for her resting place as new leads, fresh digs, and recent court rulings keep this case painfully alive. Join us as we look at the planning behind the crime, the police operation that brought the kidnappers down, and the emotional toll of living without answers when there is a conviction—but no body and no grave.sources for this podcastSupport the showJOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWSSTART KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREEH2H WEBSITEH2H on TWITTERH2H on INSTA

This week, the boys head to the supernatural- or is it a psychological drama?- and watch Jeff Nichols' second feature film, 2011's “Take Shelter”. Co-starring Jessica Chastain and Shea Whigham, Michael Shannon starts to experience vivid dreams that lead him to think they may be premonitions- or are they symptoms that his mother experienced when she was diagnosed with manic schizophrenia??

Jakob Oftebro (Black Crab, Lillyhammer) joins Son of a Binge host Reshma Gopaldas to talk all about his role as media mogul, Jan Stenbeck in Vanguard, which is being hailed as the Swedish Succession. Imagine if Kendall Roy, Shiv Roy, Roman Roy, and Connor Roy were actually competent. What'd you get is Jan Stenbeck. Based on the true story of the Stenbeck family empire, Oftebro leads the cast.Vanguard is streaming now on Viaplay.Also starring: Zoe Boyle (Merrill McCloud), Irene Lindh (Märtha Stenbeck), Malin Crépin (Margaretha af Ugglas), Julia Marko Nord (Elisabeth Silfverstolpe), Iggy Malmborg (Oskar), Nils Wetterholm (Marcus).Son of a Binge production credits:Hosted by: Reshma Gopaldas (TW: @reshingbull, IG @reshmago)Artwork by: Laura Valencia (IG @iamlauravalencia)Music by: Kevin Calaba (IG @airlandsmusic)Show Description (from Viaplay):Vanguard tells the story of an unlikely media mogul and trailblazer of technological reform, torn between passion and duty. It's a tale of fearless entrepreneurship, a desire to change the world — and a sibling rivalry in a powerful family fractured by old wounds. At 35, Jan Stenbeck appears to have it all: a prestigious career at Morgan Stanley, a glamorous life in New York, and a budding romance with American socialite Merrill McCloud. But when tragedy strikes his family in Sweden, he's suddenly thrust into a leadership role at Kinnevik, the family's industrial empire. Armed with bold ideas from the U.S., Jan has no interest in continuing the legacy of steel and forestry. Instead, he launches a radical transformation, turning the conservative conglomerate into a telecom and media powerhouse. What follows is a high stakes battle between tradition and innovation, as Jan's vision clashes with his siblings' resistance to change. His relentless drive reshapes the Nordic media and telecom landscape: he breaks Sweden's telephone monopoly, launches TV3 - Scandinavia's first commercial channel - and pioneers' strategies that inspire Rupert Murdoch's Sky TV model and lay the groundwork for Vodafone's rise. At his peak, Jan is worth 800 million dollars, founds 20–30 companies annually, and helps shift Sweden from a traditional industrial society into a leader in global communications. But his meteoric rise comes at a cost. Haunted by loneliness and broken family ties, Jan's life proves as turbulent as it is transformative. Send us a text, let us know what shows and guests you want us to cover.

The real-life succession battle over the Murdoch media empire worth billions resulted in one of the biggest family feuds playing out in court and destroyed the relationship between Rupert Murdoch and his son James. Earlier this year James Murdoch gave a rare interview in the Atlantic sharing his side of the story, where he called his father a “misogynist” and described Fox News as a “menace” to US democracy. In this episode of The Beefing, Helen Smith unpacks why James spoke out against his family, how Donald Trump was involved and if their feud is anything like HBO’s hit series Succession.

This week the boys head to 1936 to discuss “Dodsworth”, the film that may very well have catapulted William Wyler to the upper echelon of great directors of the time, and actors flocked to him- he'd be working with Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and Lawrence Olivier within three years! Starring an incredible Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton as a three-dimensional villainess of sorts, the scene work, art direction, and adult subject matters give us lots to discuss… while drinking.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the fearless trailblazer, Ita Buttrose. From Cleo to The Australian Women’s Weekly and beyond, Ita has shaped media, championed women, and inspired a nation. In her new memoir, Unapologetically Ita, she shares her incredible story. At just 23, Ita became editor of the Sunday Telegraph and The Daily Telegraph. At 30 years old, she launched Cleo magazine and at 33, Ita became the youngest ever editor of the Australian Women’s Weekly. In her extraordinary career, Ita has won countless awards, including Australian of the year In 2013, the highest national honour, Companion of the Order of Australia, along with AO, OBE, 3 honorary doctorates, a place in the Australian Media Hall of Fame, and an Outstanding Lifetime Achievement award for excellence in journalism. She served as Chair of the ABC and is also a passionate advocate for dementia awareness, brain health, HIV education and macular eye disease. Not only that, Ita is also a proud mum of 2 and grandma of 5. In this episode we get to hear some of the most extraordinary stories from Ita’s career. We go all the way back to when she got her start in journalism at just 15 and how she was determined to dream big and go after those dreams. We chat to Ita about what it was like to work alongside the biggest names in media - Sir Frank Packer, Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch - and what she learnt along the way. We hear the incredible story of how Cleo magazine got started almost by accident, after the Packers lost the rights to Cosmopolitan magazine to their rivals. We talk about how Cleo broke so many boundaries, including the first nude centrefolds and Ita shares who her favourite centrefold was. Ita talks about her time as Chair of the ABC which she found quite challenging and we also talk about the really important work she’s doing for dementia awareness, brain health and macular eye disease. We get to hear another side of Ita too when she opens up about how much she loves being a grandma. Ita has some great life advice and tips for us all and she is truly a role model and inspiration. We were so honoured and thrilled to get to speak with Ita and we hope you love this episode as much as we did.

We'll be back next week with a brand new episode. In the meantime, we're taking you back to the 1980s – a time of greed, glamour, and Wall Street excess – and revisiting the story of the “Junk Bond King,” Michael Milken. In the early 80s, Michael Milken pioneered a novel way to finance companies that traditional investors normally wouldn't touch. His high-risk, high-reward investing strategy upended decades of Wall Street norms. And it made celebrities out of Michael and the corporate raiders he funded, like T. Boone Pickens, Rupert Murdoch, and Carl Icahn. Michael did make it possible for smaller companies to access capital. But he did it by breaking norms, ethical codes, and financial regulations in order to manipulate the system at every turn. Though, when stock brokers turn into snitches, even his billions can't protect him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, the boys head back to Roman Polanski-ville for the third time to discuss the pivotal 1965 film “Repulsion”. This “dangerous” film is Polanski's first English-language movie, shot in London during the peak of the French New Wave (Polanski is a Polish-French filmmaker). “Repulsion” offers indie-film groundedness, a gritty reality, noir-inspired neorealism, and an upheaval of social values of the time- sexual liberation, classism, irony, and iconoclasm. Also, we all had different levels of enjoyment, which led to one of our finest broad conversations!

In 2005, Rupert Murdoch famously sided with his right-hand man, former Fox News chairman and now disgraced businessman, Roger Ailes, over his son, Lachlan, in a television dispute.He chose proven loyalty over blood ties. Perhaps it’s a lesson Lachlan never forgot. Because after a decades-long succession battle over his family’s media empire, he came out as the victor in September, over three of his siblings. And with the help of a little known power-broker who has become the closest thing to being an honorary Murdoch.Today, media writer Calum Jaspan on Siobhan McKenna, the unlikely ally from a humble background in Canberra who manages Lachlan’s conflicts, in order to help him retain power. And the impact this has on his professional - and familial - relationships.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ken Belson on How Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, and Roger Goodell Built the NFL's $10 Billion Empire EPISODE OVERVIEW In this compelling deep-dive conversation, Brian D. O'Leary sits down with Ken Belson, New York Times sportswriter and author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller Every Day Is Sunday: How Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, and Roger Goodell Turned the NFL into a Cultural and Economic Juggernaut (Grand Central Publishing, October 14, 2025). This wide-ranging interview explores the transformation of the NFL from a beloved sporting league into a ten-billion-dollar cultural phenomenon. Belson reveals the untold stories behind the three most influential figures in modern football history, their business strategies, their political maneuvering, and the existential threats now facing America's most powerful sports league. Runtime: Approximately 46 minutes Release Date: October 27, 2025 Guest: Ken Belson, New York Times Sports Business Correspondent and author of Every Day Is Sunday: How Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, and Roger Goodell Turned the NFL into a Cultural and Economic Juggernaut (Grand Central Publishing, October 14, 2025) WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The Modern NFL's Foundation (1993-Present) Why 1993's labor agreement—not a Super Bowl or dynasty—marks the true beginning of the modern NFL How free agency, salary caps, and 50-50 revenue sharing created unprecedented labor peace The pivotal role of Steelers owner Dan Rooney and Broncos owner Pat Bowlen in shaping the league's economics Jerry Jones: The Relentless Salesman How Jones "taught the NFL how to sell" despite alienating fellow owners The Rupert Murdoch deal that transformed television economics forever Robert Kraft's assessment: Jerry can "charm a dog off a meat truck" Why Jones doesn't chase money—he chases the chase The "Cowboys peanut butter" philosophy: monetizing everything not nailed down Robert Kraft: The Real Estate Wizard The brilliant 7-year strategy to acquire the New England Patriots How Kraft bought parking lots, then the stadium, then finally the team—leaving owners with nothing Why Connecticut and Providence offered sweetheart deals, but Kraft stayed in Foxborough Patriot Place: The revolutionary stadium-as-real-estate-development model How Kraft's unshared revenue strategy changed sports franchises forever Roger Goodell: The Senator's Son Goodell's childhood ambition letter: "I want to be NFL Commissioner" The political instincts he absorbed from his U.S. Senator father Why some NFL staffers called him "too nakedly ambitious" Goodell's strategy: schmoozing with owners at every opportunity Why can't he find his own replacement (or won't step down)? Prediction: The next commissioner will be a media expert, not a football insider Bill Belichick & The Jets Resignation The Leon Hess succession crisis that drove Belichick away from New York Was there tampering between Kraft and Belichick? The evidence examined Why Paul Tagliabue warned teams to "tread carefully" with Belichick The compensatory draft picks the Jets received—and why they got the short end The Los Angeles Stadium Saga Inside the 2016 Houston meeting, where Jerry Jones lobbied relentlessly for Stan Kroenke's vision Why the Rams-only bid beat the dual Raiders-Chargers proposal Paul Allen's rare appearance—and how "The Oracle" swung critical votes Jerry Jones, celebrating with a tumbler of scotch: "He's the salesman. He got his catch that day." How the NFL turned two stadium problems into one world-class solution Gambling's Stranglehold on Sports Why Jones and Kraft invested in gambling platforms before legalization How the NFL profits from sponsorships and game data sales—not direct gambling revenue The disturbing shift: from communal Sunday football to atomized, real-time phone betting "The book always wins. The sportsbook's going to win. Now you've got people pissed at the NFL." Brian's fear: economic downturns + player financial struggles = integrity crises The Cleveland baseball team scandal, Jontay Porter's lifetime ban, and the NCAA's dangerous new policy Why allowing college athletes to bet on football is "streamlining the pipeline from amateur athletics to federal indictment" The Future of the NFL Why 97% of NFL fans never attend a game—and what that means for the league's priorities "Fans in the stadium are essentially props for TV broadcasts" The COVID revelation: Cardboard cutouts worked fine. Do stadiums even matter? Cable TV's death and streaming's fragmentation: How will fans afford to watch? The NFL's challenge: squeezing every penny without breaking fan loyalty KEY QUOTES On Jerry Jones: "Jerry taught us how to sell." — Carmen Policy, former 49ers President On Robert Kraft: "He could charm a dog off a meat truck." — Robert Kraft on Jerry Jones On Gambling: "We went from sitting down with your dad with a clicker, maybe a can of beer, your jersey on, and you watched for three hours. You watched a drama, basically. Now you're betting on a tight end you don't care about because he's on your fantasy roster. Well then you add money to it, and it really amplifies the tension." "The book always wins. The sportsbook's going to win—more chances than not. So now you got people pissed at the NFL or pissed at a player or a team." On Roger Goodell's Future: "My suspicion is that it'll be a media person. That's where the league is now. Two-thirds of its revenue comes from media and sponsorships, not from tickets and beer." On Fans: "Roger likes to say that 97% of NFL fans never go to a game. The fans in the stadium now are essentially props for TV broadcasts." TOPICS/CHAPTERS Introduction & Book Overview Why 1993? The Labor Deal That Changed Everything Jerry Jones: The Man Who Brought Rupert Murdoch to the NFL Robert Kraft's Brilliant Patriots Acquisition Strategy Patriot Place & The Real Estate Revolution Roger Goodell's Path: From Senator's Son to Commissioner Bill Belichick's "I Resign as HC of the NYJ" Napkin Moment The 2016 Los Angeles Stadium Decision: Jerry Jones vs. Jerry Richardson Gambling's Corrosive Effect on Sports Integrity The Future of NFL Leadership & Media Fragmentation Closing Thoughts ABOUT THE GUEST Ken Belson is a sports business correspondent for The New York Times, where he has covered the NFL, sports economics, and major league developments for over a decade.

For example, “the dog barked immediately before the power went out; therefore, the dog's bark caused the power to go out.”https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/post_hoc---WAR AND PEACE from THE PEACE PRESIDENT IN SEARCH OF A PRIZECan we actually keep score at home?Deadly Gaza flare-up tests Israel-Hamas ceasefirehttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czxk8k4xlv1oDRUG WAR? US conducts seventh strike on boat allegedly involved in drug trafficking in the Caribbeanhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/10/19/politics/us-conducts-new-strike-on-ship-allegedly-involved-in-drug-trafficking-in-the-carribeanTrump Erroneously Thinks Killing Suspected Smugglers Is the Key to Winning the Drug Warhttps://reason.com/2025/10/17/trump-erroneously-thinks-killing-suspected-smugglers-is-the-key-to-winning-the-drug-war/Maybe a new invasion Target somewhere south of our borders.Trump confirms the CIA is conducting covert operations inside Venezuelahttps://www.npr.org/2025/10/16/g-s1-93677/trump-confirms-cia-operations-venezuelaOCHELLI WONDERS OULOUD if Media Outlets are publishing and POTUS is openly discussing a C.I.A. operation as it is being conducted, How The F__K does the word "covert" fit in? 4D chess thing again?Trump urged Ukraine's Zelenskiy to make concessions to Russia in tense meeting, sources sayhttps://www.reuters.com/world/trump-urged-zelenskiy-cut-deal-with-putin-or-risk-facing-destruction-ft-reports-2025-10-19/Can we actually keep score at home?Ordnance fired over 5 Freeway at Camp Pendleton during anniversary event prematurely detonated, striking CHP vehiclehttps://www.ocregister.com/2025/10/19/ordnance-fired-over-5-freeway-at-camp-pendleton-prematurely-detonates-striking-chp-vehicle/---MAGA ZINE TIMES COVER ART OF THE SQUEAL - NECK-GYNA CGI AI WIG PARTY POSSE 2025Trump is Unhappy with a TIME Magazine cover he didn't have photo shopped and might just bomb Norway for not getting a PEACE PRIZERite Aid shutters all stores after years of financial strugglesThe 60-year-old pharmacy chain filed for bankruptcy twice in two years before shutting down entirely.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/rite-aid-closes-stores-nationwide-rcna235596The GOVERNMENT IS STILL SHUTDOWNDonald Trump Posts Bizarre AI Video of Himself in a ‘King Trump' Fighter Jet Bombing NYC Protestors With Streams of Fecal Matterhttps://variety.com/2025/digital/news/trump-ai-video-no-kings-fighter-jet-brown-sludge-protestors-1236556347/AMAZING FEET - WORLD RECORD - BRAVE SOLE in NEW ZEALAND A NEWS item we completely missed in SEPTEMBERMum with tough soles breaks record for fastest 100-m barefoot run over LEGO bricksBy Vicki NewmanPublished 04 September 2025https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2025/9/mum-with-tough-soles-breaks-record-for-fastest-100-m-barefoot-run-over-lego-bricksYoutube is eating cable newshttps://www.chaoticera.news/p/youtube-is-eating-cable-newsFox News, MSNBC, & CNN All Saw Their Ratings Drop in The 3rd Quarter of 2025 By As Much as 42%https://cordcuttersnews.com/fox-news-msnbc-cnn-all-saw-their-ratings-drop-in-the-3rd-quarter-of-2025-by-as-much-as-42/ A Wake to Remember: MSNBC Bids Farewell to Its Dying Audiencehttps://freebeacon.com/media/a-wake-to-remember-msnbc-bids-farewell-to-its-dying-audience/Anybody Else thinking of Lyrics from A Classic OZZY No Rest For The Wicked Track?your mother sells whelks by the hullhttps://youtu.be/50jw48zVCWk?si=oRpuN9G3PTTy49FoDr. Oz Adds ‘Underbabied' to List of Issues Facing American Familieshttps://www.jezebel.com/dr-oz-adds-underbabied-to-list-of-issues-facing-american-familiesDUH TAKE 2Teen Models, Rich Creeps, and the Epstein Pipelinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hGyDZmmEyk---ICE ICE BABY  (Too Cold) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4kiJ2dp0w4Blind man handcuffed, dragged by federal agents at ICE facility, he sayshttps://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/protests/dhs-blind-protester-ice-facility/283-fb7e85ec-3009-4096-805b-bb14df6fc1feBill O'Reilly promised to protect Bad Bunny if gets pinched by ICE but what is THE BIG DEAL?The Bad Bunny Super Bowl 2026 Controversy, Explainedhttps://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/bad-bunny-super-bowl-2026-controversy.html&https://fandomwire.com/bad-bunny-in-super-bowl-halftime-2026-controversy-reaches-all-time-low-afteBE THE EFFECTListen/Chat on the Sitehttps://ochelli.com/listen-live/TuneInhttp://tun.in/sfxkxAPPLEhttps://music.apple.com/us/station/ochelli-com/ra.1461174708Ochelli Link Treehttps://linktr.ee/chuckochelliAnything is a blessing if you have the meansWithout YOUR support we go silent.---NOVEMBER IN DALLAS LANCER CONFERENCEDISCOUNT FOR YOU10 % OFF code = Ochelli10https://assassinationconference.com/Coming SOON Room Discount Details The Fairmont Dallas hotel 1717 N Akard Street, Dallas, Texas 75201. easy access to Dealey Plaza

Tabloid journalists often get a bad press. From publishing libellous headlines to hacking celebrities' phones, recent years have not exactly done much to enhance Fleet Street's reputation. But where did tabloid journalism originally come from? And have media barons always had such a profound influence on current affairs? Journalism lecturer Terry Kirby talks to Jon Bauckham about the evolution of the popular press, covering everything from Georgian gossip sheets to the rise of Rupert Murdoch's media empire.

This week, the boys head to the jungle for one of Amazon Studios' first films, James Gray's “The Lost City of Z”. That's pronounced “Zed” for you British purists. The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson with a beard and glasses, and Sienna Miller. It was produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B and was SOMEHOW filmed on a $30 million budget, half of which was spent flying the dailies out of the actual Amazon jungle.

As Trump fires weapons over California No Kings Day protestors, Ben and Michael Popok on the Legal AF podcast do a deep dive concerning: 1) the court cases involving the National Guard and the new Emergency Supreme Court filing; 2) Trump's violation of federal orders; 3) appeals courts ruling against Trump's abuse of power; 4) the DOJ's implosion and its impact on the prosecutions of FBI Director Comey, NY AG Tish James and Ambassador Bolton; 5) what Trump's attack on patriotic Americans protesting his lawlessness says about the Republican Party; 6) what Trump's letting fraudster and deviant George Santos go free sees about the soullessness of the MAGA party; 7) how quickly The NY Times will be filing a new motion for sanctions about Trump's latest meritless defamation suit; 8) Why Smartmatic's indictment means that Trump is helping Rupert Murdoch and Fox; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Find your No Kings Protest March/Rally at https://www.nokings.org/ This week, we're asking the only question that matters: Will what we do actually help?What does it mean to be "effective" in the fight to save democracy? Did throwing pies at Bill Kristol, Rupert Murdoch, or Newt Gingrich ever change anything? And why should we always ask ourselves the Bridge of Spies question: "Would it help?"We'll explore how the Irish Grapefruit Ladies fought apartheid and won, and why the Civil Rights movement succeeded—not just because of peaceful discipline, but because national media attention forced the federal government to act. What happens when the entire dynamic reverses and the racist thug is in the White House instead of standing in the schoolhouse door?This a voter problem—a "Vox Populi" problem—not just a Trump problem.The word of the day is "effective." Let's figure out what that means.Photo from Charlottesville protest by Ted Eytan via https://inkstickmedia.com/ (Creative Commons). Not safe for work.

Today's Headlines: We're now on day 16 of the government shutdown, and Republican leaders are hinting it could drag on until Thanksgiving — casually blaming holiday travel chaos while admitting they're not even thinking about reopening the government. Meanwhile, OMB Director Russell Vought says the administration plans to fire 10,000 federal workers, though a federal judge just ruled they can't do that during a shutdown. While public employees go unpaid, the administration is finding cash for others — promising a “clever and generous” $10 billion bailout for farmers hit by the trade war with China once the shutdown ends, and another $20 billion to prop up Argentina's crumbling economy. Priorities! At the Pentagon, dozens of journalists turned in their press badges rather than sign Pete Hegseth's “state media” pledge requiring them to only report what the Defense Department approves — a move even Fox wouldn't touch. Over at the Supreme Court, justices heard a major case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by striking down race-based map protections — potentially flipping a dozen Democratic House seats in the South right before the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, an Ohio GOP congressman's office was found to have a flag featuring a swastika intertwined with the American flag visible on a Zoom call. He blamed it on “vandalism,” because apparently random Nazi décor just appears in people's offices now. And finally, the yacht formerly known as the Lady Ghislaine — once owned by Robert Maxwell (yes, Ghislaine's dad) and now Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife's — caught fire in D.C. yesterday. Officials say it was electrical. Okay then.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: Politico: Thanksgiving travel looms as shutdown risk, GOP leaders say - Live Updates Axios:  Federal firings could reach 10,000 during shutdown, Vought says AP News: Live updates: Judge blocks Trump administration from firing during shutdown Axios: Exclusive: "Clever and generous" farm bailout coming, Hassett says WaPo: Bessent says bailout for Argentina will double to boost U.S. influence in region The Wrap: Pentagon Reporters Turn In Press Badges as Pete Hegseth Restrictions Take Effect – but 'the Work Continues' NYT: Justices Seemed Open to Further Limiting the Voting Rights Act NBC News: Republican congressman calls flag with swastika displayed in his office 'vile' and says it's under investigation Telegraph: Yacht named after Ghislaine Maxwell catches fire in Washington DC Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we're watching the media scramble for survival as tectonic forces fracture the landscape—and the billionaires are building lifeboats while Mount Vesuvius smokes overhead.Why is The Bulwark declaring itself "the future" while The Washington Post and CBS News die? And what does it mean that CBS just hired Bari Weiss to, let's face it, manage the death of broadcast TV news?We'll reveal the secret to understanding what's happening to media right now: how Rupert Murdoch bought respectability, why MSNBC invested everything in elevating Never Trump conservatives instead of the Left that was right all along, and what happens when your most valuable credential is an impressive job title from an important-sounding institution.Is Weiss's new job the worst "falling on the grenade" position ever, or is she protected by the Prince of Darkness (kinda like Bill Kristol!) destined to fail upward forever? Why can't anyone save CBS News? And what happens when your real job is to manage decline while pretending you can "win back younger audiences!" who've already checked out?The earthquakes are getting stronger.

My guest this week is Barry Diller, one of America's most successful businessmen. At 83, he chose to publish a deeply personal book and open up about his successes and failures. With surprising candor he details the rules he's lived by: trust first, confront directly, and make the call when the clock starts. In our conversation, he shares why success teaches you nothing, why failure is essential, and why instinct still beats algorithms in a data-obsessed world. This episode is filled with Hollywood lore and business acumen. ----- About Barry: He is the Chairman and Senior Executive of IAC, and is best known for founding the Fox Broadcasting Company with Rupert Murdoch and leading Paramount Pictures.

Murdoch started his media empire in Australia, sharpened his playbook in the UK, and became one of the most powerful people in the world once he came to the United States.

Today's Headlines: Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted yesterday on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing a proceeding, stemming from his 2020 testimony about the Russia probe (it always goes back to Russia). Meanwhile, Trump's new enemy: an escalator at the UN that stopped moving under his feet, which he called “triple sabotage” and demanded arrests over. He also slapped tariffs of up to 50% on furniture and cabinets, claiming a national security threat from foreign vanities. In other news, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered nearly 1,000 generals to convene at Quantico in the largest gathering of top brass since Vietnam, though no one will say why. Disney investors are suing over Kimmel's suspension, alleging political motives, while Democrats are furious that the State Department accidentally leaked unredacted military records of Rep. Mikie Sherrill, including her Social Security number, ahead of her gubernatorial run. In tech news, TikTok is being sold to a billionaire bloc led by Oracle and Rupert Murdoch (what could go wrong?), Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle an FTC case over Prime tricks, and the government is begging hundreds of employees fired in Elon's MAGA-GSA purge to come back. Microsoft, for its part, just cut off an Israeli military unit using its AI for Palestinian surveillance. And finally, Trump promised Israel won't annex the West Bank, U.S. jets intercepted Russian bombers near Alaska, and Argentina will be getting a $20B bailout after President Milei and his buddy Elon basically “DOGE'd” the economy into the ground.

Trump chronicler Michael Wolff and the Beast's Joanna Coles unpack the president's awkward state visit to Britain. From King Charles' white-tie dinner with Trump and Rupert Murdoch, to the firing of U.K. ambassador Peter Mandelson over his own Epstein entanglements, to Labour leader Keir Starmer's desperate attempt to turn the trip into a political win, the pageantry collides with scandal at every turn.

And why was Wolff's own face suddenly projected 200 feet high onto Windsor Castle? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
