Networks cut away from Trump's White House address

Read full article: Networks cut away from Trump's White House address

NEW YORK โ€“ ABC, CBS and NBC all cut away from President Donald Trump on Thursday as he spoke from the White House to make an unfounded accusation that the presidential election was being stolen from him. Trump was more subdued Thursday, yet offered a litany of complaints about โ€œsuppressionโ€ polls, mail-in voting and fraud that he never specified. Cordes said there is no indication of a substantive number of illegal votes cast, and said Trump's reference to votes arriving late was โ€œanother falsehood.โ€MSNBC cut away from Trump to anchor Brian Williams. โ€œThere are no illegal votes that we know of, there has been no Trump victory that we know of.โ€After ABC ended its coverage, the networkโ€™s White House correspondent, Jonathan Karl, also said there was no evidence of illegal votes. But especially in this election.โ€While CNN kept Trump on the air, a chyron displayed under him said, โ€œWithout any evidence, Trump says he's being cheated.โ€Anchor Jake Tapper looked weary when it was over.

'Speak up!' โ€” 'Sesame Street' tackles racism in TV special

NEW YORK โ€“ โ€œSesame Street" has always pressed for inclusion. Sesame Workshop โ€” the nonprofit, educational organization behind โ€œSesame Streetโ€ โ€” will later this month air the half-hour anti-racist special "The Power of Weโ€ and hopes families will watch together. The special defines racism for younger viewers and shows how it can be hurtful. โ€œSesame Street,โ€ which last year celebrated its 50th anniversary, has a history of explaining the world to children, tackling everything from foster care to substance abuse. The latest special comes on the heels of โ€œSesame Streetโ€ contributing to โ€œComing Together: Standing Up To Racism,โ€ a CNN town hall special in June hosted by Van Jones and Erica Hill.

Convention-covering networks challenged by competing stories

Read full article: Convention-covering networks challenged by competing stories

Republicans decided the show must go on and, for the most part, television networks followed. The convention is taking place in the shadow of huge stories that are happening right now, CNN's Anderson Cooper said. Networks, after giving extensive coverage to the Democrats last week, are cognizant of being fair to the Republicans. The president has been showing up every night, the president could talk about it. But former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, also a CNN contributor, said Republicans were there to try and reelect President Trump and that has to continue to remain their focus.

Antebellum brings racial justice call to reopened theaters

Read full article: Antebellum brings racial justice call to reopened theaters

This image released by Lionsgate shows co-writer/directors Christopher Renz, left, and Gerard Bush on the set of "Antebellum." Filmmakers Bush and Renz planned to release their feature-length debut film, Antebellum, in the spring of 2020, just as the coronavirus pandemic exploded internationally. In Antebellum, Mone gives moviegoers a modern Black heroine who takes charge of her own liberation without a male-dominated cavalry. Their path to feature-length films with a racial justice message has been a long time coming, Bush and Renz said. Even as they anticipate finding box office success with Antebellum, Bush and Renz are already at work on their second feature-length script, under a newly formed production company, Gloaming Pictures.

Fact check: Trump story about Van Jones apologizing to him

Read full article: Fact check: Trump story about Van Jones apologizing to him

Al Sharpton, for the First Step Act reform bill Trump signed into law in 2018 -- but had failed to mention Trump himself. According to The Washington Post, Trump's role in signing the First Step Act was not explicitly mentioned on the show. Conservative media outlets have taken note of Jones' repeated praise of Trump over the law, words for which Jones has received criticism from some liberals. In May, for example, the right-wing Daily Caller quoted Jones saying, "We've got to give Trump credit where credit is due. Jones thanked Sharpton for his support and guidance in a 2018 appearance he made on Sharpton's radio show to discuss the First Step Act.
