Messages with Yemen war plans inadvertently shared with reporter appears 'authentic': Official

Monday, 24 March 2025 16:17

The White House said Monday a Signal group chat discussing a U.S. attack on Houthis in Yemen that inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, "appears to be authentic."

Members of the Trump administration coordinated highly sensitive war plans on the unsecure group chat, Goldberg wrote in a report for the publication on Monday.

White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes shared with ABC News the statement he provided to The Atlantic confirming the veracity of a Signal group chat, which Goldberg said appeared to include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, White House national security adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others.

"At this time, the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain. The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to our servicemembers or our national security," Hughes said in the statement.

TVNL Comment: Hughes' comment is idiotic. Everything is OK as long as the operation went ahead successfully. The horror of this breach of security apparently escapes him.

WaPo Opinion Editor resigns after Jeff Bezos announces changes to Opinion section

Wednesday, 26 February 2025 23:25

The Washington Post's Opinion Section editor David Shipley resigned after owner Jeff Bezos mandated the section prioritize two topics, personal liberties and free markets, and not publish dissenting views in those areas.

Why it matters: The changes will dramatically reshape The Post's opinion coverage, which has focused on a broad array of issues, especially politics and policy, for decades.

"This is a significant shift, it won't be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision," Bezos wrote in a note to staff Wednesday. "We'll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction."

The big picture: The new announcement, following a controversial move by Bezos to kill presidential endorsements last year, shows how much Bezos is willing to assert his power to shape public opinion as the owner of one of the country's largest newspapers.

White House Kicks Out HuffPost Reporter From Press Pool

Wednesday, 26 February 2025 21:57

HuffPo Donald Trump’s White House kicked a HuffPost reporter out of the pool of journalists set to follow the president on Wednesday, breaking with decades of precedent, and insisted they have the ability to pick and choose which reporters cover the president.

The White House also kicked the Reuters wire service out of its spot in the pool for Wednesday, escalating a fight which began after the White House insisted The Associated Press comply with Trump’s decision to arbitrarily rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”

Rachel Maddow staff to be let go as part of MSNBC overhaul

Tuesday, 25 February 2025 23:08

MSNBC has told the majority of the employees who produce Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid’s primetime evening news shows they are being let go as part of the network’s programming overhaul with the option to apply for new roles, according to two people directly familiar with the matter.

Maddow, the biggest star and highest-rated anchor at MSNBC, will get to keep her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, and several other senior producers, the people said.

But the rest of Maddow’s team – along with producers who worked on the other cancelled shows, hosted by Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin and Jose Diaz-Balart – have been given the option to claim severance or reapply for new roles at the network, the people said.

Lester Holt to exit NBC Nightly News as MSNBC cuts Ayman Mohyeldin’s show

Monday, 24 February 2025 22:17

NBC’s Lester Holt is stepping down as anchor of its Nightly News show, while MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin is losing his weekend evening show as the networks’ owners continue a major programming shake-up.

MSNBC has announced significant changes to its lineup in recent days. One day after news broke that MSNBC had canceled the longstanding anchor Joy Reid’s show, The ReidOut, the liberal network revealed further changes to its schedule.

MSNBC said it was moving Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary, to the 9 pm primetime hour for Tuesdays through Fridays, and ending Alex Wagner’s current nighttime spot. Rachel Maddow will return to hosting the Monday 9pm slot, after finishing her stint hosting five days a week during the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

Newsmax, Fox News back AP in Trump standoff over ‘Gulf of America’

Thursday, 20 February 2025 22:18

Newsmax and Fox News are among the outlets who have reportedly signed onto a letter pushing back on the Trump administration’s decision to restrict the Associated Press’s White House access, in a dispute over President Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

At least 40 news organizations have reportedly signed onto a letter that the White House Correspondents Association circulated in support of the AP having its longtime reporting access reinstated. Oliver Darcy of Status News first reported on the “confidential” letter and the two traditionally pro-Trump outlets’ inclusion.

“The First Amendment prohibits the government from asserting control over how news organizations make editorial decisions. Any attempt to punish journalists for those decisions is a serious breach of this Constitutional protection,” the letter reads, according to Darcy’s report.

The Hill has not independently obtained a copy of the letter.
