Maddow stated, 'I am very disinterested in him as a person.' She emphasized that she does not have an interest in his opinions or in putting him on camera.

So much of the White House has always been a kind of symbolic construction. All the tackiness-I find it endearing. The bald artifice, the kind of striver-ness of it-it's like rooting for early Bethenny.

Via tentative rebel student Agnes Mackenzie, the drama meticulously illustrates the ways disempowered people hoard what little agency they have in Gilead's oppressive environment.

Chris Hayes stated, 'It was a litany of lies that he's told before about facts of the matter, that Barack Obama gave the Iranians billions of dollars. He didn't. It was repatriated assets that had been seized by the United States pursuant to that negotiated deal.'

Colbert began his monologue by stating, 'Folks, it was a big night on all the broadcast networks. Donald Trump at 9 o'clock gave a national prime time address. It was concise, intelligent, and brought the nation together with shared purpose.'

Stewart mocked: Who's name is that? Is that your f*cking name? Who's name is that?! Oh, you meant like general sex sh*t like Loveline sh*t. Sorry. You know, honestly, his leering behavior is less commander-in-chief at war and more grandpa who's lost his filter in public.

Owens described how Infowars aimed to create a cinematic experience, stating, 'We would go out there, we would shoot videos like we were in the weeds, we were showing what was really going on. But it was nonsense. It was lies.'

A sitting president publicly signaling that he wants CNN sold is corrosive. It is abnormal for the White House to treat the ownership of a major news network as a matter of personal interest. When regulatory atmospherics appear to align with presidential preference, that warrants scrutiny.

Militias are patrolling the streets of Venezuela and independent journalists have been detained. It's all part of a crackdown signaling the country's authoritarian leaders are not relinquishing power, despite the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Also, a garbage workers' strike in the UK has led to tens of thousands of tons of rubbish piling up in the streets, attracting vermin.

I have decided that this will be my last week at CNN. More to come on what's next for me, but I'm really excited about this next chapter.

With all the news - good and bad, but mostly bad - generated by the Tony Dokoupil-led "CBS Evening News," it's hard to believe it has only been a week since he took over as anchor. Hand-picked by new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss - whose own brief tenure has drawn well-deserved criticism - Dokoupil has had a series of questionable moments, from stumbles over which story was airing next to a cringeworthy and bizarre "salute" to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and comments about the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
