“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart revealed on Monday that Apple blocked him from interviewing Lina Kahn, chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission, for his podcast “The Problem With Jon Stewart” — an accompaniment to his 2021-2023 AppleTV show of the same name.
“I wanted to have you on a podcast and Apple asked us not to do it,” Stewart told Kahn during an interview on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” “They literally said ‘please don’t talk to her.’”

Hypocrisy, spreading lies, and fear-mongering are all well-known staples over at Fox. But Monday’s news about how Fox Corporation has already implemented a vaccine passport-type program for its own employees that is similar to what hosts like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have loudly railed against is a window into how little they actually care about the well-being of the people who watch their shows.
Businesses that require employees to provide proof of vaccination, commonly referred to as a “vaccine passport,” have been slammed frequently on the network. Tucker...

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson laced into her former employer on Wednesday, chiding the paper’s current leadership for not picking up on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez before her upset primary victory over longtime Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley.
“Kind of pisses me off that @nytimes is still asking Who Is Ocasio-Cortez? when it should have covered her campaign,” she said. “Missing her rise akin to not seeing Trump’s win coming in 2016.”

No one could have predicted that the big story coming out of the first day of the Republican National Convention would revolve around speech plagiarism.
Earlier on Monday, the top news coming out of Cleveland was the group of anti-Donald Trump delegates attempting to force a roll call vote. When that was denied, the Colorado delegation left the arena floor.

But then came Melania Trump’s primetime speech. Blatantly obvious similarities between her speech and one Michelle Obama gave at the 2008 Democratic convention quickly became the top story coming out of the Rnc as Monday turned into Tuesday. (Yes, that means Scott Baio’s and Antonio Sabato Jr.’s quick speeches became quick afterthoughts.)

Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly was grooming Jesse Watters long before the “Watters World” host made headlines last month over a late-night scuffle with Huffington Post Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “What happened was unfortunate. I regretted it. It’s not something I think about and I’m trying to move on past it,” Watters said. “I wouldn’t even call what happened a fight.” The incident put Watters in the spotlight, but viewers of “The O’Reilly Factor” have known about him for over a decade. The 37-year-old has worked for...

Fox News’ Jesse Watters and the Huffington Post’s Ryan Grim came to blows at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner on Saturday, stealing some of the limelight from President Obama’s final evening of comedy. The fight made headlines for seeming so out of character for an event nicknamed the “Nerd Prom,” but Saturday’s scuffle is far from the first time a reporter has taken a beating on camera. TheWrap has compiled a few of the more memorable past instances, including the time Bjork took down a reporter at the airport and Time photographer Christopher Morris’ run-in with...

Bill O’Reilly concluded a segment about “far-left violence” on Monday by calling Huffington Post Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim a “far-left zealot” in response to his weekend brawl with Fox News host Jesse Watters. “Jesse Watters was confronted over the weekend by a far-left zealot who hectored him and provoked a confrontation,” O’Reilly said before explaining the backstory. Watters addressed the situation himself later in the show, following his “Watters’ World” segment.

Details of the altercation between Fox News host Jesse Watters and Huffington Post Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim’s are coming to light after the Huffington Post published video of the events leading up to the scuffle. Watters, who seems to be in a playful mood early in the video, is enjoying a cigarette when Grim approaches him with his cell phone camera, filming. He attempts to “introduce” Watters to Amanda Terkel, who penned a column ripping Watters back in 2009. Watters says, “she loves me,” but Terkel refuses to confront him. Grim tries to persuade her, eventually asking Watters to apologize.

Fox News host Jesse Watters and Huffington Post Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim got into a physical altercation at MSNBC’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner after-party Saturday night. “Punches were definitely thrown,” a witness told The Washington Post.

Jeremy Scahill's new documentary, "Dirty Wars," is a cinematic chronicle of one journalist's investigation into America's secret global campaign of targeted killings. It raises a stark question: Is Team Obama's aggressive expansion of drone strikes and night raids doing more harm than good?
The film, co-written by Scahill and David Riker and directed by Rick Rowley, is structured like a noir detective story. It follows Scahill from the lawless hinterlands of Afghanistan, where he interviews the surviving members of the family of a U.S.-trained police chief decimated in a secret night raid; to Yemen, where he inspects the wreckage of a drone strike and meets the father of Anwar al-Awlaki, one of four American citizens to be assassinated abroad by the U.S. (al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son was another); to Somalia, where he tags along with Somali war lords on the U.S. payroll, who brag of committing...

This article was originally published on April 20, 2009, and has been reposted each year since. In 2012, it was updated to include, for the first time, the full identities of the men behind the coining of the term "420," as well as additional details. Carly Schwartz contributed to the reporting.
Warren Haynes, the Allman Brothers Band guitarist, routinely plays with the surviving members of the Grateful Dead, touring as The Dead. It's the spring of 2009, he's just finished a Dead show in Washington, D.C., and he gets a pop quiz from The Huffington Post.
Where does "420" come from?
He pauses and thinks, hands on his sides. "I don't know the real origin. I know myths and rumors," he says. "I'm really confused about the first time I heard it. It was like a police code for smoking in progress or something. What's the real story?"

As the Supreme Court begins two days of arguments in landmark marriage equality cases, the topic of gay marriage is lighting up the cable news landscape like an exploding rainbow. On Tuesday's Jansing & Co., Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim darkened the skies considerably by telling host Chris Jansing that credit for the sea change on marriage equality ought to go (albeit ironically) to former George W. Bush adviser and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove.

As we enter day two of the Rand Paul Constitutional Sainthood Movement, drone skeptics on all sides continue to beclown themselves by praising the Kentucky Senator as a "flawed messenger" for drone ocversight, as if none of the garbage that flew out of his face for 13 hours counts as "the message." Among the qualified Rand fans is, apparently, The Huffington Post's Ryan Grim, who told The Last Word host Lawrence O'Donnell that President Obama should release the secret "Kill List" to prevent nuts like Rand Paul from just making stuff up.
