Opinion: The real loser in Thursday’s debate
CNN Opinion asked political contributors to weigh in on the first presidential debate of the 2024 race. The views expressed in these commentaries are their own.
Shermichael Singleton: Trump passed the most important test — he was the competent candidate. Former President Donald Trump exceeded expectations Thursday night. He was disciplined, calm, confident and stable. It was obvious that the former president recognized how critically important this debate was and how crucial it was for him to come across as stable and judicious in his tone. He demonstrated that he could rise to the occasion.

Stephen A. Smith roasted by NAACP for Donald Trump take
HBCU alumnus and First Take star Stephen A. Smith is never one to shy away from controversy. The ESPN mainstay is known for his unapologetic takes on sports but he's worked to establish himself as an all-around cultural critic via his iHeartMedia podcast The Stephen A. Smith Show. Smith often talks about non-sports topics, including the political news of the day. However, his political takes aren't often met with a lot of fanfare. A perfect example is the response to his interview on Fox News's show Hannity. Sean Hannity invited Stephen A. Smith onto the show to speak about his comments criticizing Democrats for what he considers as unfair prosecution of former president Donald Trump for his New York hush money trial. Comments that he made in the interview about Trump drew ire on Twitter/X on Friday.

‘Shockingly Dumb’: Aaron Sorkin Pens Wildly Idealistic Op-Ed Calling for Dems to Replace Biden With Mitt Romney — Promptly Gets Roasted
Aaron Sorkin came up with some far-fetched, idealistic fantasies of how government should operate on The West Wing — the NBC drama he created back in the late 1990s. But the famed screenwriter just might have topped himself with a brand new whopper that’s utterly impossible to fathom. In a Sunday op-ed for The New York Times — which is almost hard to believe isn’t parody — Sorkin called for Democrats to replace President Joe Biden on the 2024 ballot with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT). Yes, Mitt Romney. Sorkin’s argument is based on electability — as well as the premise that Democrats basically need to show how serious they are about not wanting former President Donald Trump back in office.

Trump Fan At Rally Rants ‘Mr. Trump They Fired Me’ Because ‘They Are Running A DEI Operation’
In a four-minute rant to RSB host Nikki Stanzione, RPK complained, among other things, that he had been fired days earlier from his job as a Cracker Barrel server because of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies:NIKKI STANZIONE: Oh. Oh, yeah. Come on over here. Come on between us. Talk to us.
RED PILL KEN: I’m here. Good morning, good afternoon. Good evening. Wherever you are. And on God’s green earth I am Red Pill Ken, coming to you. Live here on this beautiful day, the 17th of August, 2024. And God bless you, Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump, they fired me this weekend! I mean, this past Monday, they fired me from my job at Cracker Barrel because they are running a DEI operation there! Diversity equity, inclusion. I love my job. I’ve been I this is my first job in PA when I moved here two and a half years ago. And my mission statement every morning was to get up 2:30 in the morning to go to a job that I didn’t have to be on the clock until 7 or 8 in the morning. That’s how, but I streamed on Instagram. And let me say hello to my pill.net Slash the fox hole family. But it’s so hurting that I was percolating for two and a half years, and I was excelling at getting better at my job as a server at Cracker Barrel and and and supportin’ God and country. That’s all I care about is God and country. And I began to support President Trump in 2016 when he said those magical words to my ear, which was “fake news media.”. And I want to commend RSBN because we use RSBN and most of our strength because we can’t be dependent on people like you two, who removed me six years ago because of my free speech and the way how I like to talk without a filter on. And that’s why I went on to build dot net, which is my new home to, you know, stream and try to give people a different, opinion of what the mainstream mainstream media has been presented to us.
NIKKI STANZIONE: So you get the truth here at RSBN.
RED PILL KEN: Get the truth at the RSBN and and you go to last year’s video where you saw I took over that whole state and we marched around all colors, all all lives matter. And to Trump and Vance, 2024, that’s the only way to save this civilization as far as I’m concerned.
NIKKI STANZIONE: You are fabulous and I love your attire. I love your energy, your enthusiasm.

Jon Stewart Rips Into Trump, Says Kamala “Crushed” During Debate The gloves are off, and the fight for the presidency has begun in earnest. After Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump squared off for the first time in a presidential debate, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart went live to sum up their showdown: “She crushed that.”. Stewart took shots at both candidates after Harris and Trump’s first and, as of now, only scheduled debate, invoking Joe Biden’s disastrous performance in June to call out both candidates for failing to directly answer questions. “Ladies and gentlemen, I just want to say after surviving the PTSD of the last presidential debate, how unbelievably refreshing it is to go back to the same old ‘nobody’s gonna answer any fucking questions,’” Stewart said. “We’re back! America’s back!” (Vanity Fair 9/11/24) READ MORE>>>>> |

Jon Stewart Blasts Fox News’ DNC Coverage in Live ‘Daily Show’: ‘I Forgot Your Life Is a Never-Ending Joyride’ of ‘Talking Between Catheter Ads’
Jon Stewart did it live with “The Daily Show,” hosting a special edition of the Comedy Central talk show after the final evening of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday. The program went to air just minutes after Kamala Harris concluded her speech accepting the party’s nomination for the presidential election. Stewart’s monologue covered events from across the four days of DNC speeches and media coverage, but a particular target was how the conservative-slanted Fox News covered the event. The “Daily Show” host poked fun at the network’s anchors for covering the DNC as a ho-hum gathering without anyone talking to each other. A reel of contributors were shown saying quotes like “the vibes are off” and “this is probably the most boring scene I’ve ever seen.” (Yahoo 8/22/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Jon Stewart blasts Hunter Biden, Jared Kushner, Nancy Pelosi in segment on money in politics
Comedian Jon Stewart on Monday went after Hunter Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner in a segment on money in politics on “The Daily Show.” Stewart began the segment by talking about the current legal troubles of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who is facing federal bribery and obstruction charges. He then pivoted to note that there are many legal ways that politicians and government figures can enrich themselves and their families via their positions, including via stocks and using influence to support their family’s careers and finances, citing Biden, Pelosi and Kushner as examples of figures he said have done so.

Opinion: This is the difference Jon Stewart could make in the 2024 election
It only took eight years, but apparently Jon Stewart has finally decided to answer the plea from my May 2016 CNN article titled, “We need Jon Stewart back now!”At the time, my point was that we desperately needed Stewart back in “The Daily Show” host chair because he was the comedic antidote to then-candidate Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. And after Trump won that election, many — including myself — believed that if only Stewart had not abdicated his late-night show in August 2015, Trump might well have been defeated.

Charlie Rose has a conversation with two of Silicon Valley’s most respected journalists, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, who have started a new web site venture called Re/Code.
ON THE RECORD: Jan 21, 2014: Jonathan Cohn has announced in his New Republic article that "Policy Journalism Is Having Its Moment." The article is primarily dedicated to the the decision by Ezra Klein to quit the Washington Post in order to start a new journalism project. Melissa Bell and Dylan Matthews will also be leaving WaPo with him. Cohn sees something bigger in this move and summarizes that "the unsettling part of Klein’s departure is the shift in power, away from large media organizations, it would seem to reinforce. All but the largest newspapers are dying and we don’t know, yet, exactly what will take their places. But, overall, journalism is richer and more informative because people like Josh Marshall, Nate Silver, and now Ezra Klein are reinventing it." Andrew Beaujon (Poynter) listed several people who have left the established media and are looking at new ventures ("Washington Post announces Ezra Klein is leaving"): "Nate Silver decided last year to leave The New York Times for ESPN, which plans to relaunch his FiveThirtyEight.com under its auspices soon. Glenn Greenwald left the Guardian last year to join a “a new mass media organization” funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Dan Froomkin and Jay Rosen also joined the new organization in varying capacities. Gawker’s Neetzan Zimmerman will be the editor-in-chief of a starting shareup called Whisper. Gabriel Snyder, formerly the editor-in-chief of The Wire, will be chief content officer of a mobile news startup called Inside.com. Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg’s site AllThingsD announced last year they would part ways with Dow Jones & Co. and relaunched as Re/Code this year. The Wall Street Journal launched a replacement site, WSJD. Both promised live events. Another spinoff from the Journal: The Information, a subscription tech-news site edited by former WSJ reporter Jessica Lessin. Proto-blogger Andrew Sullivan left The Daily Beast in early 2013 to relaunch his Daily Dish as an independent, subscription-based publication. Sullivan wrote on Dec. 31 that in its first year, the publication had raised more than $800,000 in subscription revenue and has “almost 34,000 subscribers.” One thing that is clear through all this is that the internet is not done changing the face of journalism.
