CNN typically devotes its daily morning editorial call to hashing out the news cycle, lining up “rundowns” for its various programs; and internal housekeeping. On Friday’s call, according to three people familiar with the matter, anchor Don Lemon took time out for something different — an apology.
Lemon sought to tamp down internal and external backlash to polarizing comments he made on Thursday’s “CNN This Morning” about when women are in their prime, though it remains unclear whether all staffers will let the matter drop.
Speaking for a few minutes, one of these people said, Lemon said he regretted saying that women who are past their 40s are no longer in their prime, a comment that appeared to be off the cuff and inspired by coverage of Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor who recently declared her candidacy for the 2024 U.S. presidential race. “Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime,...

At least 8 major U.S. TV networks launched a new show they believed would generate bigger ratings than anything being replaced on their Thursday daytime schedules.
The nation’s biggest TV-news outlets replaced game shows, “The View,” regular news programming and even “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” to cover a congressional hearing that is expected to become a lighting rod for national attention. The Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing of testimony from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused him of assaulting her sexually when they attended high school in the 1980s, represents a conflagration of the highest degree over whether the judge should be approved to sit on the Supreme Court and influence so many national issues.
CNN called the event an “Historic Hearing.” CBS News labeled it a “High-Stakes Hearing.”
Ford’s testimony made for early water cooler moments, When asked how certain...

Jon Stewart distilled 17 years of fake news anchoring into a brilliant, wordless segment on The Daily Show Monday night, slamming Mike Huckabee's comparison of the Iran nuclear deal to the Holocaust, and bemoaning the Trump-ification of the 2016 election.
The quote in question came from Huckabee's interview with Sirius Xm conservative talk station Patriot, in which he called President Obama "so naive, he would trust the Iranians and he would take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven." Stewart responded not with a snide...

Sean Carter, aka Jay Z, doesn't use Twitter much, so it was a very rare moment indeed when the hip-hop mogul went on a 16-Tweet "stream of consciousness" tear on Sunday (April 26), to promote the music streaming service Tidal (owned by Carter's own Project Panther Ltd.). Using the hashtag #TidalFacts, Jay Z did his best to quell rumors about the company's health, to air his dreams for Tidal, and the like. It was not his intention, I'm sure, to cull responses like these: Jay-z (@S_C_) -- since you're on Twitter today, any thoughts on Baltimore or Nepal? #TidalFacts — Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) April 26, 2015 Turn on the news. See Baltimore? Ok. Rt @S_C_: We are human (even Daft Punk ha). We aren't perfect - but we are determined. #TidalFacts — DuffJuice (@Bacardiduff) April 26, 2015 @S_C_ can't wait for the track about Ferguson or Baltimore that you will drop to debut on tidal.

In what is becoming a disturbing trend, Up With Steve Kornacki host Steve Kornacki and a panel comprised of The Cycle co-host Krystal Ball, Buzzfeed reporter Evan McMorris-Santoro, and WaPo's Nia-Malika Henderson allowed Republican strategist Rick Wilson to repeat an egregious lie about President Obama and the stimulus, which Wilson took as an invitation to say it again. The show needs to either book sharper panelists, or more honest conservatives.
