Project Youngin was shot by unknown assailants in a robbery attempt.
XXXTentacion was gunned down this year. His death has made rappers more cautious about posting shit on social media. Young rappers who flaunt their riches around are prime targets for robbery.
Someone didn't remind Project Youngin about posting shit online. The rapper was gunned down while bragging on social media about his newest song. He was shot inside his vehicle.
XXL Magazine reported that the rapper was sharing details on his mixtape called Thug Souljas when the attack occurred.
Thank you everyone for your prayers. We will let you know about Project Youngins condition soon - PY team
— Orlando’s #1 Crowd Pleaser (@SuperStarTrent) July 29, 2018
This happened in St. Petersburg, Florida.
He was in the Instagram video flaunting a stack of $100s.
He says, "Yeah, it's on the way, it's coming!" Within a few seconds, the rapper suddenly shut his eyes, ducks down and drops his phone.
There were three loud bangs and then people racing to the vehicle.
Youngin (born Rasheed Jamaal Hall) is being treated at a local hospital for his injuries. The Florida authorities are determining if the shooting was a robbery attempt.
On Monday, his publicist and manager offered supporters an update on his condition. They said that the rapper will survive but they don't know how bad he was injured.
Right off the bat, many were pissed at Fox canceling Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Lucifer. NBC managed to do some good with Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It will pick it up for season six. Netflix picked up Lucifer on the pleas from fans and the cast. The moves assure that they will likely get a series finale or a continuing season.
On the rest of them, yeah I am disappointed.
Besides Fox and NBC, ABC, CBS and The CW also decided to pack it up on many of your favorite or least favorite shows.
So our poll.
ABC cancels Quantico, Designated Survivor, Kevin (Probably) Saves The World, Alex, Inc., Deception. Ten Days in the Valley, Roseanne, The Mayor, Inhumans and The Crossing.
Scandal, Once Upon a Time, and The Middle end gracefully.
The cancellation of Roseanne is certainly a win for progressives and a loss for those who support Donald J. Trump. ABC revived the 1990s comedy and right off the bat, the show went into its controversial song and dance. Roseanne Barr became a conservative and feverish supporter of Trump. She incorporates that her real life character into the show. And it cost her dearly. The show will be reworked as The Conners and it will feature the cast excluding Roseanne Barr.
The long term shows and finales will come. Modern Family announced it will be the final season.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D will likely get a last season.
Fridays will be the timeslot for Fresh off the Boat and Speechless.
The Goldbergs, Black-ish, Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, For the People, Splitting Up Together, Station 19, The Good Doctor and American Housewife will continue on.
More reality television is coming to ABC.
Scripted shows The Fix, Grand Hotel, The Kids are Alright, A Million Little Things, The Rookie, Single Parents, The Goldbergs present Schooled, and Whiskey Cavalier.
Alec Baldwin will have a Sunday talk show.
CBS cancels sitcoms, Scorpion and troubled actor's drama. Wisdom of the Crowd was quickly canceled after Jeremy Piven was caught in the #MeToo Movement. He was fired from the show and they ended up burning off the show.
CBS is more minority friendly with the shows coming up this season.
Scorpion managed to conjure up four seasons but in time, CBS said it's a wrap. Famed genius Walter O'Brien could solve this dilemma. Hopefully, Scorpion could be picked up in syndication and soon build up a fan base to rework or revamp the series.
Kevin Can't Wait went down hard. The return of Leah Remini was not well received by the fans who felt the firing of Erinn Hayes was fucked up.
Superior Donuts was cut too. It ended on a cliffhanger.
Liza Lapira has a curse on her career. This is the fifth series she was on that was cancelled. The show 9JKL featuring her, Mark Feuerstein and Linda Levin was cancelled.
Bobby Moynihan's comedy Me, Myself & I was cancelled fast. That was the first cancelled show of the season. It featured John Larroquette and Jaleel White.
Code Black, the medical drama that was created by Michael Seitzman was soon put to pasture. After three seasons, they pull the plug on the show. Rob Lowe, Boris Kodjoe and Marcia Gay Harden were the stars of this show.
Sara Gilbert was not only doing Roseanne but also Living Biblically. The show was produced by her former co-star Johnny Galecki and it featured Jay Ferguson, Tony Rock and Camryn Manheim. They pulled the show after four episodes and the burn off will conclude on July 28.The series featuring Ferguson as a married film critic who tries to rework his life around the Bible after he lost his best friend.
What stays on CBS Sunday Morning, 60 Minutes and 48 Hours, the CBS News block.
Then of course, scripted shows like The Big Bang Theory will allegedly conclude in 2019. No confirmation about that yet. Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro and Jim Parsons executive produced Young Sheldon based off iconic nerd Sheldon Cooper (played by Parsons) and it got a second season. The Young Sheldon show includes Parson as narrator, Iain Armitage, Annie Potts, Zoe Perry, Lance Barber, Montana Jordan and Raegan Revord.
Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0 and MacGyver will continue to keep you in the house on Fridays. The crime dramas are doing well on the death spot.
Reality shows The Amazing Race, Survivor and Big Brother will continue on.
Scripted shows like Bull, Criminal Minds, Instinct, Life in Pieces, Madam Secretary, Man with a Plan, Mom, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, Ransom, SEAL Team, and S.W.A.T. will continue on for the time being.
Elementary will likely end after 2019.
Murphy Brown is revived. The show became a part of the 1992 U.S. presidential election when Dan Quayle made the remarks about the show during the debate. Like Roseanne, Murphy Brown was huge in ratings. NBC survived on Will & Grace. Who knows?
Damon Wayans, Jr. (Happy Endings and New Girl) will have a show called Happy Together (not Happy Endings).
Cedric The Entertainer, Tichina Arnold (Martin and Everybody Hates Chris fame), Beth Behrs (2 Broke Girls) and Max Greenfield (New Girl) will be feuding neighbors in The Neighborhood.
Brandon Micheal Hall, Violett Beane and Joe Morton will have a drama called God Friended Me.
Tone Bell and Nia Dobrev will have a sitcom called Fam.
Scripted Fall shows include The Red Line, FBI, Blood & Treasure, The Code and Magnum P.I.
Remember the show that had Tom Selleck as Thomas Magnum. He is the star of Blue Bloods.
Ironic that Hawaii Five-0/MacGyver developer and executive producer Peter Lenkov is going to make a spin off Five-0. The new Magnum P.I. will bring in Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum. Higgins will be played by a woman. Perdita Weeks will play the role of Jon Higgins as Juliet Higgins. Zachary Knighton (Happy Endings fame) will be Orville "Rick" Wright.
NBC cancels Rise, Taken, Great News, Shade of Blue, Timeless, Better Late Than Never, The Brave, Champions, and The Brave. Brings Brooklyn Nine-Nine to the roster.
This is Us, Will &Grace, The Voice, Chicago (Fire, P.D. and Med), Superstore, Ellen's Games of Games, Blindspot, Midnight, Texas, Good Girls, The Good Place, The Wall, World of Dance, Marlon, A.P.

The CW cancels Valor, Life Sentence and The Originals. The announcement of final seasons are posted today. Two Emmy award winning shows Jane The Virgin and Crazy Ex-girlfriend will end respectively. Also as Lucifer will continues on Netflix, The CW will conclude iZombie in the fifth season.
Greg Berlanti and the DC Universe were really successful to The CW. The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and Black Lightning are hits. Supergirl will be on Sundays. Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow will be on Monday. The Flash and Black Lightning will be on Tuesday. Riverdale, the dark version of Archie and Friends will continue on Wednesday. Supernatural will be on Thursday.
Dynasty will carry Friday and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend/Jane The Virgin/Penn & Teller: Fool Us will follow up.
The 100 is a post apocalyptic drama that will survive another season. It will come back for Thursdays in the later.
Okay, here's the new shows on The CW. The Sunday night follow up with Supergirl will be a revived version of Charmed. This will be the first in 10 years. The CW programming comes back to Sunday.
Wednesday will bring forth All American. This series is based on Spencer Paysinger played by Daniel Ezra. It will also features Taye Diggs (Empire/Private Practice) and Bre-Z (Empire).
Legacies will be on Thursday. This is a spin-off to The Originals.

It will recast the show and carry through its seventh season. The Cool Kids will also follow up. Martin Mull, Vicki Lawrence, David Alan Grier and Leslie Jordan will portray themselves as "cool" hipsters in a retirement community.
Lil Rel Howery will have a show called Rel. It will be on Sunday along with The Simpsons (30th Season), Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers.
Scripted shows will also include The Passage and Proven Innocent.
Gordon Ramsay will have a block of shows. Hell's Kitchen, Masterchef, 24 Hours to Hell and Back will return.
Seth MacFarlane will reprise his roles in Fox (despite his feud with Rupert Murdoch and Fox News).
Cosmos: Possible Worlds and The Orville will return soon.
Lethal Weapon will have Damon Wayans and a new recast. Wayans and Seann William Scott will now be in the buddy cop drama. Actor Clayne Crawford was fired out the cannon after Warner Bros. got fed up with his bullshit. He and Wayans were on camera arguing and it led to a feud. They found that Crawford's behavior was out of control. So in season two, Lethal Weapon returns.
DC's Gotham will end at season five. It will come back in the Spring.
Lee Daniels shows Empire and Star are still successful despite a fall off in ratings. They will return back to Wednesday.
With the pending merger of 21st Century Fox and Disney, Marvel Entertainment will have more shows associated to the network. The Gifted will return back to Mondays after NFL Football.
The Resident and 9-1-1 will return to Monday and Thursday respectively.
Besides the controversial cancellations of Lucifer and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, there is The X-Files revival and Last Man on Earth. Also on the chopping block is The Exorcist, Ghosted, LA to Vegas and The Mick.
New Girl ended on a good note.
Summary of television in the age of Donald J. Trump.
Donald J. Trump is a polarizing figure. Television networks are trying to appeal his base.
Tim Allen claims that Last Man Standing may be the only show that could round up Trump's core base. Given that Trump's core base is a mixture of morons, racists and buffoons, I guess Allen will fit right in.
Anyway, I apologize for being a little late on the posting. I've been busy.
Hopefully, I will have time to watch these shows. I mean I work a full time job now and I am trying to at least use TiVo and Tablo.
Minneapolis cops walk in the shooting of Thurman Blevins III.
There is going to be anger. We should aim the anger at the mayor of Minneapolis, the police chief of the police, the governor of Minnesota Mark Dayton, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) and the politicians running for the House and the Senate.
Another cop walk. The two cops who shot Thurman Blevins in the back because they saw a gun will not face charges in his death.
The cops shot Blevins three times after emptying their chambers. Nearly 20 shots from both officers.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman is going to be ousted. He continues to allow cops get away with murder. In the wake of two Minneapolis Police shootings and one Falcon Heights shooting, the prosecutors are justifying execution of people of color.
"The decision to use deadly force against Mr. Blevins under those circumstances was authorized."
Even fleeing from the police could be death sentence.
Cops see Black men with firearms, "shoot to kill."
The presser was interrupted by protesters and they warned Freeman that his position as prosecutor is coming to an end.
Sydnee Brown said it best.
"I don't want the media and the world to think we're angry. We're not angry. We're more so disgusted. We're disgusted by the leaders of the world, We're disgusted by the leaders of Minneapolis and Minnesota."
Ryan Kelly and Justin Schmidt were the cops who were placed in the freezer.
They rode up on Blevins and ordered him to put his "fucking hands up!"
"STOP OR I'LL SHOOT. STOP OR I'LL SHOOT."
The foot chased ended in an alley where from a distance they spotted Blevins with the firearm. They shot him multiple times and he dropped.
Blevins did not fire his weapon at them. Blevins said to the cops to leave him alone.
So a foot chase is a death sentence. White people are the only ones allowed to have firearms on them when they shoot in the air. They often are carrying them in public.
The cops weren't even shot at. That's the bullshit. Why be a cop?
You are supposed to take a bullet for your country, state and community.
We need accountability. We need laws to curb gun violence. We need a party willing to stand up for people of color. Because the Democrats won't stand up for us. They want our votes but won't aggressively push for their agenda.
Republicans are pretty clear about the Black vote. They don't need us. They are pretty clear that if you're a Black Republican, you will tap dance and eat that cookie.
Minneapolis is brewing and it seems like a boycott is coming.
Justine Damond, Jamarr Clark and Philando Castile died because of bad cops.
A guy working for Republican senate candidate Corey Stewart calls urban cities like Baltimore and New Orleans, shitholes.
Republican Corey Stewart is a supporter of Trump agenda. He got the imbecile's blessing. He also is competing against former Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and U.S. Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia.
This is Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka people. A place where an American who thinks from the ass is given a platform. A political party that embraces white extremism. A political party that defines itself as a bunch of elitists who want voters who are typically bigots and morons.
This is the United States. A country that was founded on racism.
This is the U.S. Senate candidate Corey Stewart.
This imbecile remarked back in 2014-15 about the unrest in Baltimore, New Orleans and Ferguson, Missouri. This was on this imbecile's social media.
“The message out of Ferguson and Baltimore is a simple one: DON’T OPEN A BUSINESS IN A BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD!”
The “shittholes” in question were Memphis, New Orleans, and Baltimore. Shaftan’s boss, Corey Stewart, has been a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, who infamously referred to predominantly black countries as “shitholes.”
Yeah, this asshole is a supporter of the Confederacy.
This is what the Republican Party is made themselves out to be.
The impact of Donald J. Trump has affected the neighbors to the North. You think the American president would build better bridges. Nope.
Not this guy.
Canada is experiencing a wave of far right extremism. White extremists like Gavin McInnes, Lauren Southern, Jordan Peterson and Lindsay Shepard. They masquerade themselves as this white extremist movement dubbed the alt-right.
A Canadian man and his wife were accosted by a white man in front of a Walmart. The asshole claims that he being harassed by the man and his wife.
This happened in Hamilton, Ontario, a city with a population of 541,000 residents.
The white guy said that the man didn't belong in his country.
"You don't talk like a Canadian."
"I'm racist as fuck. I don't like you. I don't like her. I will kill your children first."
The Daily Mail reports that a shocking video shows this asshole tries to run over the woman who recorded his license plate.
The video which made it YouTube is disturbing.
"What kind of example are you setting for children?" said one man.
Within seconds, the heated argument goes into a road rage incident.
The victim's wife was struck by the Chevy Silverado as he tries to gun it before breaking hard. She was knocked to ground briefly before getting back up and recording the license plate.
The victim is of Indian decent and was shopping with his wife. They lived in India before moving to Canada and obtaining citizenship. The couple was just trying to enjoy an outing and this was disrupted by a white extremist.
Kansas City restaurant threatened to call the police on a woman who wanted to pay cash for her food instead of using a credit card. Xzaviera Vaqua recorded a White server throw her out of the restaurant.
Tomfooleries Restaurant faced a backlash after one of its servers deliberately denied a customer the right to make an order. The server told her to pay for her order before he would serve her.
"I honestly feel like I was discriminated against and racially profiled," said Xzaviera Vaqua, told the junk food media.
The co-owner of Tomfooleries of Kansas City said that the server named Preston was fired out the cannon.
Vaqua told the server that she doesn't feel comfortable handing over her credit card as she impatiently taps the top of a dining table with her fingernails.
According to Vaqua's Facebook page, a server informed her that she was unsure of the restaurant policy concerning upfront payments.
According to Vaqua, the waitress said she needed to ask her manager. Vaqua began recording on her cell phone as soon as the manager approached her table.
"It immediately went wrong," she said of the encounter.
Tomfooleries is facing a backlash for allowing a server treat a customer like shit.
In the video, you can hear Vaqua questioning why she can't pay with cash up front.
"You know what, we're done. Go ahead and go," the manager, who identifies himself as Preston, says to her.
When Vaqua goes on to ask why she has to leave, the manager uses curse words, saying he doesn't have to explain anything to her.
She eventually left Tomfooleries.
"Nobody should feel that way. I felt horrible. I was disrespected. I was embarrassed. I couldn't believe I got treated like that," Vaqua said of the incident.
In a phone call Sunday night, Tomfooleries owner Barton Bloom said, "the problem has been taken care of."
Vaqua said the owner called her and said the manager in the video has been fired.
Say her name, not the suspect. Samantha Stewart thought she met the right guy. Turns out the guy was a monster wanted in the death of her and many others.
I refuse to say the name of this terrorist who murdered an innocent young woman who wanted to find love. This Connecticut man terrorized innocent women who wanted to find love in the right places. This terrorist murdered more than just a New York City woman, but others.
This monster will be facing murder and rape charges when he is extradited back to New York.
He was caught in Los Angeles after he accused of strangling and blundering Samantha Stewart inside her Queens home. Cops said this was a sexual predator who hunted his victims through social dating apps like Tinder, Badoo and POF.
It was said that he knocked her teeth out and tortured her. He was not even concerned about the date, he just wanted to satisfy a sexual fetish.
"I will fly over there and volunteer to take him out the cell," said Kenneth Stewart, Samantha's father who is grieving and is enraged about this. "A monster, pure evil ... This monster gets out and has the nerve to fly to L.A. to commit another crime, to destroy another family."
He may have 10 or more victims. It's so far confirmed six victims were murdered.
This scum could face LIFE in the iron college in New York. The DEATH card in California.
"It is believed by [the NYPD] that this individual uses dating websites to meet women and then victimizes these women," said the New York Police Department detective Dermot Shea during a presser.
The young woman was found dead. The DNA-evidence lead investigators to a rape in Brooklyn and then out to California. The victim who was 23-years old said that she met this monster online. They clicked and he want on a date with her. As soon as she got him inside the home, he would choke her unconscious and then rape her.
When they were doing a search through the U.S. Marshals, they found that he fled to California.
He was caught with a woman who he held against her will.
"[The LAPD] practically saved her life," Shea said.
"[If] you look at his history, he has ties to Brooklyn, but he has a lot of connections out of New York City."
This terrorist is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The charges alone carry LIFE in the iron college. But if California extradites him for the alleged rape, kidnapping and sodomy of the victim, he could face the DEATH card.
Samantha was a nurse who wanted to find someone who shared her interest. This disgusting human being destroyed that in one date. I know that may sound crazy, but I know that I've been there done that with social media.
I can tell you from experience that I know the highs and lows of social media and dating.
Black man was gunned down after Toledo Police chased him.
Tensions are rising in Toledo, Ohio.
The Toledo Police shot and killed a 25 year old man they accused of pointing a weapon at them. It all started from a chase that lead to the deadly confrontation.
According to the cops, Lamar Richardson was accused of being involved in an armed robbery of a couple of carryouts. Chief George Kral said that Richardson fits that description was named in several Crimestoppers tips.
Kral said a SWAT team was following Richardson to see if he was going to commit a criminal act and stop him before he committed the act.
The chief said that a broadcast came in for a stolen car from the area. The Toledo Police would spot the vehicle and identify the suspect as Richardson. After a short police chase, the vehicle eluded the law.
Richardson was soon spotted on a bicycle. After a short foot chase, Richardson turned and reached for a gun which prompt the police to fire upon the suspect. The cop is seen on dash camera kicking the S&W 9mm pistol away from the suspect.
After the shooting, an angry crowd gathered and the police called a "Signal 99" to dispatch more officers to get the crowd to leave.
Wade Kapszukiewics said that Toledo residents have to understand that the police are going to get to the "facts of the matter" when it comes to this. The cops who fired upon Richardson were placed in the freezer pending an outcome whether they used justifiable force.
Tension are high in the Glass City.
"However, I know the enivronment we are living in (in) this country and it's fair to say ... all of us will view the video through the lens of our own life experience. As we move forward, we will all benefit by sharing information, being transparent," said Kapszukiewics.
"I don't know what the next step is.....but always, incidents that pertain to race, we need to talk to each other and listen to each other."
Obviously the junk food media, the police union and the city will try to paint the decease as a good for nothing criminal.
They claim that he had a lengthy criminal record.
Yeah, so all of that is a death sentence.
Again, cops are killing Black people at a higher rate. We are 14% of the nation's population but we are most targeted minority group in the country. We are under attack. Not by just Donald J. Trump, but the Republicans and Democrats. The white people who are stuck in the status quo. They want jobs that empower them to control others. That's why joining the police is a powerful position.
They could make a split decision in a given second. However, even if they claim "they fear for their lives," my question is....."Why are they afraid to die?"
Cop are expect to take a bullet for their country, their state, and their communities. Why are they so scared to take one?
Biscayne Park, Florida police officers unlawfully stopped Black people.
The city of Biscayne Park is doing damage control after it was revealed that some of its cops were doing unlawful search and arrests.
In a federal trial, a former cop admits that he falsely arrested innocent Black men.
Guillermo Ravelo plead guilty to the charges of conspiracy to deprive a person of his civil rights and deprivation of civil rights under color of law.
Prosecutors says the dirty cop arrested 35 year old Clarens Desrouleaux in January 2013 for two residential burglaries, claiming at the time that he had confessed to the crime.
Ravelo also arrested 31 year old Erasmus Banmah for five vehicle burglaries despite knowing there was no evidence that connected him to these crimes.
Dirty cop will go to federal time out.
The Miami Herald obtained records last month regarding an internal probe from 2014 that allegedly support claims that Biscayne Park Police chief Raimundo Atesiano, has been accused of urging his staff to pin unsolved crimes on random black people with prior records in a bid to boost the departments arrest rate.
The Herald obtained records last month regarding claims that Atesiano ordered staff to make false arrests.
The department cleared 29 out of 30 burglary case from 2013-14. Investigators believe 11 of those were based on false arrests.
Ravelo was soon fired out the cannon. He will face a sentencing in early October.
CBS might oust its longtime CEO and chairman Les Moonves after Ronan Farrow releases his bombshell story about him.
Julie Chen may want to check her husband's day to day activities. The New Yorker will release a damaging report about CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves and his misconduct towards women.
The Hollywood Reporter detailed the controversy and we are waiting on the report to come out.
The bombshell release put a dent in CBS stock.
Ronan Farrow wrote the piece which is slated for Friday night will detail allegations that the CBS president was touching and groping female interns.
These allegations go as far as 30 years. The allegations also follow into recent.
CBS said in a statement that it is investigating the claims made against Moonves. “All allegations of personal misconduct are to be taken seriously," the network stated. "The Independent Directors of CBS have committed to investigating claims that violate the Company’s clear policies in that regard. Upon the conclusion of that investigation, which involves recently reported allegations that go back several decades, the Board will promptly review the findings and take appropriate action.”
CBS added: “The timing of this report comes in the midst of the Company’s very public legal dispute. While that litigation process continues, the CBS management team has the full support of the independent board members. Along with that team, we will continue to focus on creating value for our shareowners.”
Moonves, 68, has been married to CBS personality Julie Chen since 2004. (The two wed less than two weeks after Moonves finalized his divorce from Nancy Wiesenfeld, whom he had married in 1978.)
Farrow, the reporter who won a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged pattern of rape and sexual assault, is said to have investigated Moonves and the environment at CBS for months, as rumors swirled through the industry that such an article was in the works.
It is unclear what impact The New Yorker report will have at a time when Moonves is locked in litigation with Shari Redstone, the controlling shareholder in both CBS and Viacom. The feud erupted after CBS resisted Redstone’s desire to merge the two companies, which she controls through voting shares in the Redstone family-controlled trust, National Amusements Inc.
CBS sued Redstone in May to prevent her from attempting to take control by ousting directors or changing bylaws. Redstone responded with her own lawsuit saying Moonves had no right to strip her of control of CBS.
CBS received unwelcome scrutiny in November when it fired Charlie Rose after The Washington Post reported that eight women had accused the talk-show host and co-anchor of CBS This Morning of sexual misconduct. In a May 3 follow-up, the paper reported that CBS managers had been warned about Rose's conduct on three occasions, as early as in 1986 (long before Moonves worked at the network) and as recently as in April 2017. Among an additional 27 women who came forward with allegations against Rose were 14 CBS News employees.
Les Moonves and Julie Chen
A charismatic one-time actor, Moonves has long wielded exceptionally tight control over CBS while producing exceptional results. He has kept hits on the air during a turbulent time for the broadcast business: In 2017, CBS ranked as the most-watched network in terms of total viewers (as it had done for nine consecutive years), though it trailed NBC in the 18-to-49 demo.
With entertainment consumption habits changing quickly, Moonves launched the CBS All Access streaming service with a spinoff of The Good Wife and a revamped Star Trek series.
Moonves joined CBS in 1995 and remained there after Sumner Redstone acquired the company in 2000. He took the network from last to first place in the ratings with hits including Everybody Loves Raymond, Survivor and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
In 2006, when Viacom split its businesses into two publicly traded companies, Moonves was named president and CEO of the newly formed CBS Corp. He became chairman in 2016.
Moonves has a close-knit executive cadre working for him but he is known to demand great loyalty and he has made enemies along the way. When Howard Stern jumped from CBS Radio to Sirius Satellite, Moonves sued the shock jock for $500 million, prompting Stern to go on CBS’ own Late Show wearing an “I Hate Les Moonves” shirt.
Now that she's gone, Fox News tells the world that Kimberly Guilfoyle was nothing but a pervert.
Fox News still is under scrutiny for allowing sexual harassment to happen without repercussions.
There's a bombshell report about Kimberly Guilfoyle. The former Fox News host is dating Donald Trump, Jr., the son of imbecile Donald J. Trump. The two have been public about it for over three months now. There are 21 sources and six people willing to share their experiences with the former host of The Five.
Guilfoyle is being accused by current and former staffers of being a total....well you know!
Guilfoyle also is accused of sharing inappropriate pictures of male and female genitalia to staffers.
She even called fellow agitator Jeanine Pirro, the old bird in the cage.
The former Fox News host was a strong supporter of Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly. She also dismissed the allegations from Andrea Tantaros, Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly.
Some have long complained about her mistreating staff and using underlings as her lackeys.
Guilfoyle signed a long term contract last year. How come she was allowed to so given that this was not mentioned during the upheaval of Ailes?
Donald Trump, Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle share a passionate kiss.
Fox News has a reputation of vengeful tactics towards formers. They were reluctant to get rid of Ailes and O'Reilly. They were quick to rid themselves of Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros.
Guilfoyle is joining the pro-Trump America First Super PAC. She will contribute to helping Republicans get elected nationwide.
Her relationship with Donnie won't last. She is too old for a skirt chasing bonehead like Donald Trump, Jr. She will ruin her career as a prominent legal anchor and conservative agitator.
Trump, Jr., is in a messy divorce with Vanessa. The pair split after rumors of Donnie cheating on her were proven.
Tonight on Fox News, the washed up celebrity Roseanne Barr will have her first cable news interview since ABC canceled her sitcom.
Barr will have a sit down with Sean "Softball" Hannity, the most hated media personality. Barr and the softball openly support Donald J. Trump. They have face a whole lot of turmoil since they placed their loyalty to the imbecile.
Hannity was revealed as a client of Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.
He also is facing a whole lot of controversy for his bullshit peddling.
Roseanne was cancelled after Barr made inappropriate comments about Valerie Jarrett.
She called Jarrett a hybrid between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes.
Then she doubled down by saying she "thought the bitch was white."
ABC promptly fired her. The Roseanne show was pulled from ABC, TV Land, CMT, Laff TV and Netflix.
Roseanne lost her contracts with companies and her publicist dropped her.
Now as she is struggling for work, her only savior to salvation is Sean "Softball" Hannity, the most annoying conservative, condescending Trump sycophant in the history of media.
In August, we will do the Sean Hannity Word Vomit. We will call upon Fox News to fire this disgraceful person out the cannon.
We only hope the Hannity-Cohen tapes come out around August or at least when he interviews Roseanne.
Valerie Jarrett responds to Roseanne Barr and Sean "Softball" Hannity on The View.
This isn’t a ban. It’s another half-measure by @TeamYouTube to avoid having to ban him permanently which, according to the @YouTube Terms Of Service, he has earned many times over. He’ll be back and the rhetoric will only get worse because he knows he can get away with anything.
The videos are now posted on it's official Infowars website and livestream showed Jones going bonkers over Muslims coming to Europe and his vicious rants on boys dressing up in as drag queens and princesses.
He obtained a community strike for his actions. The last time he obtained one was the attack on Parkland shooting survivor and activist David Hogg. He claimed David Hogg was a "crisis actor" and allowed racist cartoonist Ben Garrison insult him on his program.
"We have long standing policies against child endangerment and hate speech. We apply our policies consistently according to the content in the videos, regardless of the speaker or the channel."
YouTube stripped Infowars of its ad revenue.
Facebook is being urged to pull the plug on content that is deemed "fake news", openly racist and bigoted.
Here's the bullshit peddling that Alex Jones rummages through.
This guy is an avowed white extremist. He appears on Fox News as a commentator.
I have found someone worse than Sean "Softball" Hannity, Jeanine Pirro and Pecker(wood) Carlson.
He doesn't even have a show on the right wing news channel but he certainly has a place within that building. He is a far right "Christian" white extremist who does commentary on television and radio.
He is named Todd Starnes and he is the resident bigot over at Fox News.
The Atlantic has reported on this guy some time ago. I happened to be wondering why hasn't the network acted more appropriately in the wake of Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly.
Like Softball Hannity, I guess that Starnes is given autonomy over there and is free to speak however he wants about people of color, Muslims, immigrants, those in the LGBTQ+ community and progressives who criticize that imbecile Donald J. Trump.
Some of the highlights of this white extremist are brought to you courtesy of Twitter.
He also has a show on Fox News Talk (via SiriusXM).
Starnes presents himself as that "good ol' Christian boy from the South" who wants his country, God, and paycheck. He often is regarded among those in the religious community as a crank.
The Midterm elections are very important. Donald J. Trump and his minions are motivated to vote.
They want to continue to hold power. They want to keep bigots like Todd Starnes on the radio and television promoting crackpot kookspiracies about Americans who stand in resistance of Trump.
We got to be educated about who we vote for and what they stand for.
I don't particularly like the Democrats but I am damn sure that they will be better in charge than the Republicans. They want cops to murder unarmed people of color. They want to take immigrant children from their parents. They want to get in between a woman's legs and skirt. They want to make sure that guns are free and loosely. They want to strip you of your healthcare, your safety net, your bargaining rights, your pension and your earned vacations at the job.
Michael Cohen leaks audio tapes damaging to Donald J. Trump.
Donald J. Trump and his legal team now have to defend themselves after his former lawyer (and fixer) released portions of audio tape to CNN.
This could be a "sweet revenge" move from Michael Cohen and CNN.
Trump has often attacked them for being "disloyal" to him.
What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before? Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things? I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad!
Inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) - almost unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client - totally unheard of & perhaps illegal. The good news is that your favorite President did nothing wrong!
Cohen, the former personal lawyer who helped Trump pay off Stormy Daniels is under federal watch for possible obstruction of justice. Cohen who once said he "would took a bullet for Mr. Trump" now is facing possible time in federal time out if he doesn't sing like a canary.
Trump under fire for allegedly paying off mistresses during the presidential campaign.
Cohen set up a limited liability company in Delaware. Cohen established Essential Consultants to hide the deal he made to silence Stormy. The porn star and activist claims that the two had an affair and she was paid $130,000 to stay quiet about the affair.
Cohen said in an interview with ABC published in early July that his family and country would come before his loyalty to Trump, and CNN reported later that Cohen had told his friends he did not think Trump would pardon him if it came to that point.
The recording, which was aired on CNN yesterday detailed a possible Federal Election Commission violation. Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model claims she had a year long relationship with Trump and sold her story to The National Enquirer.
According to McDougal, the tabloid scrubbed the story and gave Trump the heads up that they were.
Cohen is heard telling Trump that he will need to set up a company to arrange payments.
"What's financing?" said Trump.
"We'll have to pay," said Cohen.
"Pay with cash!" said Trump.
"No, no." said Cohen.
The word check is uttered but it's not clear in the audio who said that. The audio is now cut off.
Karen McDougal claims Trump had a year long relationship with her while Melania Trump was pregnant.
Lanny Davis, former Clinton administration aide is now the lawyer representing Cohen. Davis is not playing. He said to the junk food media, "the truth will come out and it will vindicate my client."
"[We're] on a new path --- it's a reset button to tell the truth and to let the chips fall where they may."
McDougal was paid $150,000 from The National Enquirer for her story in the heat of the presidential campaign. The tabloid which often helped Trump throughout the years did not publish the story.
Cohen and Trump were discussing a solution to keep this scandal out of the spotlight.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump's new lawyer and former mayor of New York was caught off guard by this.
Giuliani said later he was unconcerned about Cohen moving to cooperate with federal prosecutors against Trump, telling CNN that he did not know what Cohen would have to "flip over."
Stormy Daniels wants Trump to be held accountable for his actions.
After CNN first aired the Trump-Cohen recording on Tuesday evening, Davis said he believed Trump's team fears the President's former personal attorney.
"They fear that he has the truth about Donald Trump," Davis said.
Giuliani, meanwhile, argued on Fox News that Davis was wrong about what the audio showed and reiterated it showed "no indication" of a crime.
At the heart of their disagreement is an apparent reference from Trump in the audio to paying with cash, although the audio is muddled and each side disputes Trump's meaning.
Oh, I forgot about Cohen's other client. The country's most hate media agitator. The most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media who believe this audio release was a "dud."
You guessed it!
Sean "Softball" Hannity was a former client of Michael Cohen. He could be on those audiotapes.
It's Sean "Softball" Hannity.
While he prepares himself for his big interview with Roseanne Barr, the washed up celebrity who called Valarie Jarrett a Muslim Brotherhood-Planet of the Apes hybrid, the official softball of the Donald J. Trump legacy was a client of Cohen.
Cohen was forced to reveal the name of the mysterious client in federal court. The softball was named and he's been under scrutiny ever since.
Softball Hannity has been really nervous about the audio tapes. Twitter has poked fun at him for his reaction to this.
Sean Hannity is framing the Cohen tape as "muddled" and lamenting the state of the "corrupt federal government' who is recording all citizens at all times.
The government didn't record these conversations, moron. It was Michael fucking Cohen, your lawyer!
Hannity is not a happy boy delivering the news that CNN obtained a copy of the Cohen-Trump tape, tells his viewers the recording is "muffled" pic.twitter.com/3oHBVS53Op

Let me translate stuttering Sean Hannity for you. “Please Michael Cohen, don’t release the tapes you have of you and I.”#TrumpTapes Trump-Cohen pic.twitter.com/YTm488wRny
Oh, lordy! I hope there's more damaging tapes to make Trump and Softball Hannity squirm. These audio tapes will come out and I can't wait to hear the embarrassing or damaging information.
Trump could face a federal probe.
The softball could face an ethics probe at Fox News and iHeartMedia.
When the Hannity tapes come out (hopefully in August), I will add them to the Sean Hannity Word Vomit. It will be the call for Americans to pressure Fox News to fire the right wing agitator out of the cannon.
Florida's Stand Your Ground law only applies to White and Asian people. Because they usually walk. This incident happened in Clearwater. A white man shoots an unarmed Black man after a confrontation over a parking spot.
Hopefully Floridians are going to the polls this fall. Because if they choose to allow these lawmakers pass these stupid ass gun laws, then they're doomed. Convict the guy who shot Markeis McGlockton.
The father of three deserves justice. He was protecting his family from a white guy who berated his girlfriend.
Okay, a Clearwater man was gunned down by another man over a freaking parking spot. The man claims "self defense" under Florida's Stand Your Ground law.
Remember that law protected George Zimmerman when he killed Trayvon Martin. Now it's being used in the death of Markeis McGlockton. This white guy named Michael Drejka was engaging in a spat with McGlockton's girlfriend at a local store.
Markeis McGlockton.
Drejka was upset that Britany Jacobs was sitting in her car in a handicap spot. He actually engages in a heated confrontation with the woman before Markeis comes out to see this guy threaten his family.
He shoves the man to the ground. Within seconds Drejka pulls out his firearm and shot the young man directly in the chest.
Markeis flees into the store and collapses in front of his child. Within a few hours, Markeis was pronounced dead from the shooting.
Drejka remains on the scene as the police arrive. He said that he was protecting himself fearing that Markeis was threatening his life.
Britany Jacobs is left to raise her three children. Their father Markeis McGlockton was killed right in front of her.
The Pinellas County sheriff says the shooting was "justified."
"This is a violent push, this wasn't a shove, this wasn't just a tap," said county sheriff Bob Gualtieri.
Drejka claims that he was a legally conceal carry. Gualtieri said that gunman was in fear of his life.
So he claims that there's no evidence that Drejka posed a threat to McGlockton's family, it was strictly a verbal argument, but his actions (the unlawful conduct) lead to his death.
White man with special needs shot a Black man over a parking spot.
Benjamin Crump vows this time someone will be convicted. He joined the case and hopes to raise awareness to Florida's lackluster gun laws.
My anger is there. How the fuck can you allow a man to walk free after he commits murder.
His girlfriend said it basically. "[Markeis was] defending me and his children."
Now I want justice for Markeis and his family. This man with special needs decides to take action into his own hands. I am fed up with laws that make it lawful for white people to lynch Black people.
We need change.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
