NewsNation accuses Fox News of stealing their slogan for its Super Bowl ad
Calling out Fox News in a new TV promo, 'centrist' cable news upstart NewsNation accuses its much larger competitor of ripping off its slogan for a prominent ad the right-wing network ran during the Super Bowl this past Sunday.
The new on-air commercial, which NewsNation posted to its social media accounts on Tuesday night, points out that the Fox News promo boasts that it is a news channel 'For All America,' a slogan that is remarkably similar to the tagline that NewsNation first debuted in 2021 and slightly revised late last year.
'News for all Americans,' NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo declares in the channel's ad alongside a graphic that blares 'A Tagline So Good.' Cuomo then points out that Fox News ended their widely seen commercial with the 'For All America' slogan emblazoned on the screen.
'Sound familiar?' Cuomo snarked. 'Of course it does. They took it from NewsNation!'
While additional graphics stated that 'it's easy to talk the talk, because only one network walks the walk,' Cuomo took a swipe at Fox News for not featuring any of its conservative opinion hosts — such as Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Greg Gutfeld — in the Super Bowl commercial.
'Why are none of the main players at Fox in the ad?' Cuomo wondered while footage of NewsNation anchors Elizabeth Vargas, Leland Vittert, Ashleigh Banfield and Cuomo played in the background. Incidentally, Vittert was once a Fox News correspondent and host before jumping to the Nexstar-owned station in 2021.
NewsNation first debuted its 'News for All America' tagline in a promotional campaign in August 2021, which was when the then-nascent network was first expanding to a full-time cable news channel. Following the 2024 presidential election it made a minor tweak to its slogan, changing it to 'News For All Americans' as the station hoped to continue to build on the growing viewership it has experienced over the past year.
Meanwhile, as media reporter Oliver Darcy noted in his Status newsletter on Monday, 'media organizations can't seem to get enough of the phrase 'For All America'' now that Donald Trump is in office. Besides Fox News' ad and NewsNation revising its slogan, The Washington Post has been testing out the new mission statement 'Riveting Storytelling For All of America.'
Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Democrats are in the polling dumps — fighting America on this key demand
The Democratic Party has never been more unpopular — yet no Democrat seems to understand why. Some say they're not fighting President Donald Trump hard enough. Others say they aren't messaging their agenda well enough. In reality, they're fighting too hard for an agenda that Americans reject, with a central demand of welfare for all. Thirty-two years after President Bill Clinton promised to 'end welfare as we know it,' no idea unifies the Democratic Party more than the belief that welfare should be never-ending. This vision of government dependency spurred their most notable policies of recent years, and explains their intransigent opposition to Republican reforms. While some Democrats show an increasing willingness to compromise on other leftist priorities, such as biological men in women's sports, the party brooks no dissent on welfare — even though Americans want to fix the system's many failures. Consider the ongoing federal budget battle. House Republicans have put together a reconciliation bill that would slow the rate of Medicaid growth — from a projected 59.6% increase to 40% — over the next decade. Democrats oppose even that, including GOP attempts to end waste, fraud and abuse. Yet the latest federal data show that 22% of Medicaid payments and 12% of food-stamp payments went to ineligible recipients. More than 70% of likely voters want to protect taxpayers from fraud and abuse, polls show, yet Democrats essentially deny there's a problem that needs to be solved. In fact, when the Trump administration proposed a rule in March to end $11 billion in improper ObamaCare subsidies — aiming solely to curtail fraud — Democrats immediately opposed it. Democrats are just as adamant when it comes to work requirements for welfare recipients. My organization, the Foundation for Government Accountability, recently found that six in 10 able-bodied adults on Medicaid don't work at all, hoovering up resources that would benefit the truly vulnerable. When voters in purple Wisconsin were asked two years ago if welfare recipients should work as a condition of receiving benefits, nearly 80% said yes — but national Democrats now say no. They also reject Republican attempts to block Medicaid payments for illegal immigrants, which would save billions of dollars over the next decade. More than 70% of voters don't want illegal immigrants to receive government benefits, yet Democrats bizarrely disagree. But it's not just Congress; Democrats are striking the same strange tune in state capitols. Over the past 10 years, virtually all Republican-led states have taken steps to purge waste, fraud and abuse from welfare programs. By contrast, Democrat-run states have expanded illegal immigrants' access to Medicaid and pushed able-bodied adults onto welfare programs. In recent months, Democratic governors in Kansas and Arizona have vetoed Republican bills that would ban food-stamp purchases of soda and junk food — a reform that could lower state and federal Medicaid spending and encourage healthier choices. Democrats have a long history of supporting restrictions on consumers' options, but as soon as welfare enters the picture, they oppose it. Apparently limiting freedom is fine by them, but limiting federal welfare is unthinkable. The left's unwillingness to support even modest welfare reforms reflects the reality that government dependency is the biggest thing Democrats now offer Americans — even beyond limitless immigration and the Green New Deal. The Affordable Care Act, the central achievement of Barack Obama's presidency, dramatically expanded Medicaid while creating a new welfare system for the individual health-insurance market. Joe Biden enacted a work-destroying child tax credit and sought perpetual expansions of Medicaid and food stamps under the guise of pandemic relief. A slew of Biden regulations made it easier for people to abuse the taxpayer's generosity, from Medicaid to food stamps to free school lunches for rich kids. Democrats' end goal is clear: Get every American on the dole. Yet insisting that government dependency is always the answer means Democrats can't publicly admit that seemingly infinite welfare has any shortcomings. In fact, the left's agenda of welfare-for-all is profoundly harmful, and voters know it. Democrats have built a welfare system that taxpayers can't afford while pushing millions of people out of the workforce — a dual assault on the economic growth. They've left fewer resources for disabled children and the elderly by prioritizing able-bodied adults and illegal immigrants. And they're corrupting the foundational American belief that welfare is temporary assistance whose recipients should work to get back on their feet. No wonder Democrats are so unpopular: They're fleecing taxpayers, crippling the economy, hurting the truly needy and giving handouts to those who don't deserve them — none of which has Americans' support. The first Democrat who wakes up on welfare will be the hero their party desperately needs. Hayden Dublois is data and analytics director at the Foundation for Government Accountability.

Smithsonian Goes to War With Trump Over His Attempt to Fire Staff
The Smithsonian has fired back at Donald Trump and declared itself a 'nonpartisan institution' after the president attempted to meddle in the operations of the prestigious research and museum complex. In a statement, the Smithsonian asserted its independence in a thinly veiled rebuttal of Trump's recent claim that he had fired Kim Sajet, director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery. 'All personnel decisions are made by and subject to the direction of the Secretary, with oversight by the Board. Lonnie G. Bunch, the Secretary, has the support of the Board of Regents in his authority and management of the Smithsonian,' the statement said. 'Since its inception, the Smithsonian has set out to be a nonpartisan institution. As the nation's museum, the Smithsonian must be a welcoming place of knowledge and discovery for all Americans.' The Smithsonian, established by Congress in 1846, is not part of the executive branch and has operated as an independent entity for nearly 180 years. Among its treasured exhibits are the Space Shuttle Discovery and the original 'Star-Spangled Banner.' It is governed by a Board of Regents, with Bunch overseeing day-to-day management of its vast network of museums and the National Zoo. On May 30, Trump declared that he had fired Sajet, accusing her of being a 'partisan person and a strong supporter of DEI [Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion], which is totally inappropriate for her position.' Whether Trump has any legal authority to fire someone from an independent cultural institution is questionable. Sajet and the National Portrait Gallery have so far ignored the president's order, with Sajet continuing her work as usual, The Washington Post reported. The Board of Regents has also directed Bunch to 'articulate specific expectations' to museum directors and staff regarding content displayed in Smithsonian museums, allowing time to ensure all exhibits remain 'unbiased.' 'The Board of Regents will continue its vigilant, independent oversight of the Smithsonian and its museums to protect their rigorous scholarship and expertise, nonpartisanship, and accuracy, and ensure that the Smithsonian is welcoming to all Americans,' the statement added. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast. Before targeting Sajet, Trump signed an executive order in March directing the Smithsonian to stop presenting U.S. history as 'inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.' Trump's attempt to assert control over the Smithsonian is the latest example of the president trying to impose his will on, and extend MAGA influence over, Washington's cultural institutions. The Trump administration has already overhauled the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, with Trump installing himself as chairman and replacing waves of board members and other top roles. In February, Trump vowed on Truth Social that there would be 'NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA' at the Kennedy Center. Since Trump's takeover, the Kennedy Center has seen plummeting ticket sales and a wave of artist boycotts.
