ABC News “entirely gutted” the staff working on the third hour of its flagship morning show “Good Morning America” — also known as “GMA3” — as part of the layoffs that were mandated by corporate parent Walt Disney Co, according to a report. Catherine McKenzie, the executive producer of “GMA3,” was let go as part of the layoffs that were announced by network boss Almin Karamehmedovic, according to the Status newsletter.

The dying, blubbering leftist media - - should take to heart what Shane said to Wilson - - "The difference between you and me is I know I've outlived my time."

Awww. No sympathy. A TV show that no one watches. What did they think would be the outcome? Perhaps they should have figured out a way to be interesting and attract viewers. I know, an insane and radical idea that could never happen at ABC.

Legacy media needs to give up their constant leftist propaganda. Hacking off over half of your potential viewers is not a good business plan. Ad rates are based on ratings and I would guess their ratings have been falling, so cutting millions in salaries is probably a good financial move. Maybe an entertaining show like The Five would be better. The panel leans right, but for balance, they have Harold Miles Jr who is a thoughtful Democrat and Jessica Turlov who gets a little cranky sometimes but can still laugh and take a joke. They also have a good cast and they all seem to have a good time.

I actually know some people who still watch GMA. Incredible how impervious they are to the lies they're being fed. Fortunately I'm not around them when that "show" is airing. I think they are slowly coming to the realization they might need to change who they are listening to.

"Other prominent managers who were cut include Cindy Galli, an executive producer on ABC’s investigations team, which has focused on stories about government fraud, corporate corruption and consumer advocacy." Elon Musk is able to effectively do her job at no cost Disney.

I wonder when the protests from media and federal workers will begin. I guess since ABC is a private company the employees aren't considered essential like every federal worker.

Failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has said he would “certainly consider” running for president in 2028 — despite his crushing defeat alongside then-Vice President Kamala Harris this past November. “Look, I never had an ambition to be president or vice president. I was honored to be asked,” the Minnesota governor told “the New Yorker Radio Hour” on Sunday. “If I feel I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are like, ‘Dude we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.” “If I think I could offer something … I would certainly consider that.”

Don’t wait until the eleventh hour! Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9, for most of the US, meaning that we spring forward and lose an hour to make better use of daylight and save energy. DST — which lasts until Sunday, Nov. 2 — is controversial in part because research indicates it can significantly upend our sleep-wake cycle, potentially increasing the risk of heart attacks and stroke. The good news is that we can take time this week to minimize the impact on our schedule and body.

The Chinese balloon that sparked panic when it flew over the US two years ago was, as long suspected, set up to spy on Americans — but surprisingly with US-made technology, according to a new report. The 200-foot-tall balloon was loaded with a satellite communication module, sensors and other technology from at least five American firms, two sources with direct knowledge of a classified US military report told Newsweek. The craft — which floated from Alaska over Canada and into the US Midwest before it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. 4, 2023 — could have collected detailed data on oblivious Americans, the sources said

Crying poor.

The embattled former first son, 55, blamed the recent fires, as well as dwindling sales from his artwork and memoir, for him being plagued by “significant debt” keeping him from “litigating this case” against Garrett Ziegler, according to a motion filed in federal court in California on Wednesday.

The public does not like President Donald Trump’s plan to sell “Gold Card” citizenships to wealthy foreigners, according to a Rasmussen poll. The Gold Card plan is strongly supported by only 22 percent of likely voters, including just 38 percent of Republicans, according to the February 27 to March 3 poll of 1,180 likely voters. The plan to sell Gold Cards for $5 million is strongly opposed by 33 percent of all respondents, including 36 percent of “moderates.” Overall, the plan is strongly or somewhat backed by 41 percent and opposed by a plurality of 47 percent. That opposition matches the national mood, which is increasingly opposed

Cairo—The Hamas militant group on Thursday brushed off President Donald Trump’s latest threat and reiterated that it will only free the remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Hamas accused Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to back out of the ceasefire agreement they reached in January. The agreement calls for negotiations over a second phase in which the hostages would be released in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas spokesman Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua said the “best path to free the remaining Israeli hostages” is through negotiations on that phase, which were supposed to begin

We've been covering how extremely anti-Trump Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has been, especially recently, throwing out all sorts of accusations about President Donald Trump. Just when it seems she couldn't go any further, she comes up with a worse comment. Democrats' performative tricks weren't merely limited to the outbursts in the chamber on Tuesday night when Trump gave a speech before a joint session of Congress. Crockett did her own event, "24-Hour State of the People Marathon," meant to counter Trump's speech. It was then that she made some rather noteworthy remarks about Trump, immigration, and black people.

The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one. What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment. Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn't recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports?
