In the interview that was aired Friday, Barr told Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer that House Democrats who have accused him of contempt of Congress are discrediting him because they’re likely “concerned about the outcome of a review of what happened during the election.” Furthermore, the attorney general said he wants to see if FBI officials “put their thumb on the scale” during the Russia investigation, especially during the origins of it.
Fox News’ Chris Wallace: Bill Barr ‘Clearly Is Protecting’ Trump
No room for a Christmas miracle: Donald Trump is canceling White House party for press
Say what you will about Donald Trump: He is no hypocrite.
Following a year of endless Twitter rants about FAKE NEWS ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, he’s not about to stoop to calling a holiday truce in his war with the press.
Nope, in a scoop undoubtedly heard with dismay around the Beltway, Fox News media reporter Howard Kurtz has revealed Trump’s bold decision to abolish the traditional Christmas party that presidents host at this time of year for members of the White House press corps and their bosses.
Time honours Khashoggi, four others as Person of the Year
Time magazine has named a newspaper and four journalists, including Washington Post's murdered Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi, as its Person of the Year.
The Capital Gazette in the US state of Maryland's Annapolis, two Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, Philippine journalist Maria Ressa, as well as Khashoggi, were recognised as "Guardians" of truth, Time's editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal announced on Tuesday.
Trump, no longer ratings gold, loses his prime-time spot on Fox News
President Donald Trump loves to brag about ratings, but he’s not getting them anymore.
As he’s ramped up his rally schedule ahead of the midterms, viewership numbers for the raucous prime-time events have been roughly similar to — sometimes dipping below — Fox News’ regular programming, and the network has recently stopped airing most evening events in full.
During three Trump rallies last week, Fox News showed clips and highlights from his speeches but stuck largely with its normal weekday prime-time programming. On Saturday, when “Fox Report Weekend” and “Justice with Judge Jeanine” would ordinarily air, the network showed Trump’s speech from Topeka, Kan., in full. But on Tuesday, a rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was particularly hard to find — it was not aired live on any major network, and even C-SPAN cut away for other news. And on Wednesday night, as Trump took the stage in Erie, Pa., at 7 p.m., Fox News stuck with its coverage of Hurricane Michael.
Jamal Khashoggi: Turkish Newspaper Names 15 Saudis Linked to Writer’s Disappearance
Khashoggi was last seen a week ago entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Turkish authorities have said they believe Khashoggi, a prominent critic of the kingdom’s policies, was killed inside the building by Saudi intel agents—a charge the consulate denies.
The Latest: Turkey summons Saudi envoy over missing writer
A Turkish official says the Saudi ambassador to Turkey has been summoned to the ministry for discussions over a Saudi journalist who disappeared after a visit to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
The Foreign Ministry official says the ambassador was "invited" to the ministry on Thursday but did not provide further detail. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules.
Jamal Khashoggi, who has written Washington Post columns critical of the kingdom's assertive crown prince, went missing on Tuesday.
Time Magazine Acquired by the Benioffs, Founders of Salesforce.com
Salesforce.com Inc. founder Marc Benioff and his wife Lynne agreed to acquire Time magazine from Meredith Corp. for $190 million in cash, joining Jeff Bezos among tech billionaires buying venerable print publications.
The move thrusts the brash 53-year-old entrepreneur, who helped lead the shift of software to an on-demand model, into a new role: media baron.
It's a transaction reminiscent of Bezos’s $250 million acquisition of the Washington Post in 2013. That purchase brought Bezos a Pulitzer Prize-winning, 140-year-old newspaper but also put him in the cross hairs of President Donald Trump, who has called the Post an “expensive lobbyist” for Amazon.com Inc.
