The coronavirus crisis presents a challenge for Sunday morning news shows — not only in terms of production during a time of social distancing, but in trying to set the stage for the coming week in what is a fast-moving, unprecedented national emergency. The staff of Face the Nation, which on Sunday will feature guests including Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Scott Gottlieb and Gary Cohn, has been working remotely this past week, save for Sunday at the show’s Washington studio. The production staff will be there, but no guests will be in-studio and instead will be interviewed remotely. The CBS staple first raised questions about the threat of the coronavirus on its Jan. 26 broadcast, when moderator Margaret Brennan asked Sen. Tom Cotton (R-ar) about it. “We need to get ahead of this problem,” Cotton told her. “And given China’s record of dishonesty when it comes to these public health emergencies,...

In 2018, a deputy White House press secretary claimed Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were “sacrificing in their service” in the White House. But one of the things the couple is not sacrificing is tons of income to the tune of tens of millions of dollars a year.
According to recent financial disclosures the couple made on Friday, Bloomberg reported, their income for 2018 was between $28.8 million and $135.1 million. Included in that number is the $4 million in profits Ivanka cashed from the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. According to NBC News,...

CNN president Jeff Zucker delivered a keynote speech at SXSW Saturday that saw him expressing belief that there was political motivation behind the Justice Department’s lawsuit to stop At&T’s acquisition of his parent company, Time Warner, as well as discussing the Democratic National Convention’s relationship with the media.
Referring to comments Trump said in regard to filing suits against the deal, Zucker stated that he believed there was political motivation to block progress. “I believe that it came from the highest levels of the government,” he said.
Earlier this week members of Congress petitioned the Department of Justice to look into whether or not there was interference with the deal as a report surfaced alleging that Trump ordered Gary Cohn to pressure the Doj to block the merger.
“There was absolutely no basis for the government doing what they were doing,” he said. “Clearly there was a political agenda at work,...

The relationship between the White House and Fox News is an almost daily storyline during Donald Trump's administration, and it's the topic of an 11,000-word story that will appear in March 11th's edition of The New Yorker under the headline "Trump TV."
Here are the story's biggest revelations and most notable comments:
- Trump "ordered" Gary Cohn, who served as the director of the National Economic Council, to "pressure the Justice Department to intervene" in At&T's planned acquisition of then-CNN parent company Time Warner. According to Mayer, he told then-chief of staff ...

Nov. 4 saw the debut of HBO’s four-part series of specials “Axios,” which takes its name from the access-driven website that thrives on scoops delivered with limited adornment. Indeed, the website prides itself on drilling down stories to, effectively, headlines.
This all makes for unfortunate timing, as Nov. 6 marks the midterms, a story encompassing 435 House elections and many contested Senate and statehouse races, all occurring against the backdrop of ongoing anger and roiling contempt against the president from the left. But the website on a mission to boil the world down into its grabbiest iteration is obliged to tell the story with the biggest names possible; the “Axios” episode before an election that has made various candidates into national names focused relentlessly on the president.
As became widely known even before the episode aired, the episode concluded with an interview of Donald Trump. A clip of Axios reporter Jonathan Swan...

Legendary reporter Bob Woodward spoke about cultivating sources within President Donald Trump’s administration for his new book, Fear, during an interview with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Monday.
Over the course of his career, Woodward has covered multiple presidents and written 19 books that often contain explosive information about the inner-workings of the White House. After several decades of stunning scoops, Woodward said he’s still able to convince top officials to speak to him using a mixture of patience, flattery and tenacity.

Washington — Michelle Wolf’s monologue at the White House Correspondents Association dinner dominated the headlines coming out of the evening — even if it was a mere sliver of the four-hour event and only a moment in what is traditionally D.C.’s most social weekend.
The surreal aspect is usually the mix of newsmakers on opposite ends of the political spectrum or at odds in other ways — Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels’ attorney, was at the annual Garden Brunch on Saturday along with Kellyanne Conway.
Hollywood had a presence, although it was much more muted than in previous years. At Hamilton Live, Kevin Bacon and The Bacon Brothers at one point played “Footloose,” as they were the headliners to a series of journalist-bands, including Lester Holt and the Rough Cuts.

“Keep politicians off ‘DWTS’!” That’s what a whopping 48% of fans said when we asked if fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson should join a future season of ABC’s reality TV show “Dancing with the Stars.” However, the results of our poll weren’t unanimous, as 37% voted “Yes — he’d make for great TV!” The other 15% were non-committal, saying “Let me think about it.” Do You think Tillerson should be cast on “DWTS”? Sound off down in the comments section.
President Donald Trump fired Tillerson on Tuesday via tweet, simultaneously announcing that Tillerson’s replacement would be CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Any other presidential firing would be yuuuge news, but America has become desensitized to members of the Trump team leaving following a long line of ousters like economic director Gary Cohn, communications director Hope Hicks, Trump aide Rob Porter, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, chief strategist Steve Bannon,...

Veteran CNBC contributor Larry Kudlow announced on Wednesday that he would accept the job of White House chief economic adviser and director of the National Economic Council that was recently vacated by Gary Cohn. “My immediate reaction was yes, honored to take the job, which was last night,” said Kudlow on “Closing Bell” Wednesday. Trump has been a longtime fan of Kudlow with whom he became acquainted with from watching him on CNBC. Like Trump, Kudlow has hosted his own program in the NBC family, “The Kudlow Report,” and the two men are known to be close. In addition to serving as an...

CBS’s Late Show host finally figured out the end of the 2016 presidential race was no cause to retire his Caesar Flickerman-esque character, what with Donald Trump acolytes falling as fast as had Gop candidates during the race. So he dusted off the the gag to say so-long to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson after his firing-by-Twitter, and used the occasion to catch up on all the other Trump-olytes who have bit the dust, including Hope Hicks, Gary Cohn, Rob Porter, Anthony…...
