US fighter jets display horror movie characters, kill counts after returning from Middle East operations: photos
F-15E Strike Eagle jets from the 366th Fighter Wing landed at RAF Mildenhall in the UK this week, returning from operations in the Middle East. The aircraft, emblazoned with horror movie characters such as Hannibal Lector and Pennywise, also displayed rows of bomb and missile markings. Fighter pilots often paint symbols like missiles, bombs, or silhouettes on their jets to represent specific achievements or actions during missions. 1 of 12 An F-15E jet lands at RAF Mildenhall.

'E! News' to end its daily TV show after more than 30 years on the air
The last show is set for Sept. 25. It's the end of an era. E! News, the show that began reporting on entertainment the same month that Nirvana dropped its iconic song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and moviegoers were being scared silly with Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, will end its nightly program as viewers know it, Entertainment Weekly has learned. The show's final episode is set for Sept. 25. Currently hosted by Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester, it airs Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m. ET/PT. About 20 employees who work on the series now were told about the change on Thursday, according to Deadline. Some of them are expected to be offered different positions at the company. If this feels like déjà vu, that's because the cable show signed off before, during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, an E! network spokesperson confirmed to EW that the show had been canceled because of financial issues caused by the pandemic. It was revived, however, in 2022. Over the years, the show has been hosted by the likes of Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Rancic, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Jason Kennedy, Catt Sadler, Steve Kmetko, Maria Menounos, and more. It has covered general entertainment news, focusing on red carpet looks, movie premieres, celebrity interviews, and coverage of the royal brand still isn't going away completely. Instead, E! will focus on updating its digital content and social media channels throughout the day. On the channel, original shows such as Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour and Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind aren't going anywhere. The move comes amid an already changing late-night television landscape. Last week, host Stephen Colbert explained that his The Late Show With Stephen Colbert would be departing the airwaves — and so would the franchise. The CBS talk show premiered in 1993, when it was first hosted by David Letterman. The final episode is set for May. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

FCC chairman sounds clarion call to return to 'unbiased, trustworthy journalism'
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr told Fox News in an interview Thursday that the time has come for outlets to get back to "unbiased, trustworthy journalism." "Look, I think we need a course correction," Carr told Fox News' Bill Hemmer. "You know, it's time for America's legacy broadcasters to return to promoting the public interest. And just recently, you know, Skydance, which is looking to acquire CBS, wrote letters to the FCC committing to serious change, to trying to root out bias, to putting in place an ombudsman that would address these issues, to returning... to unbiased, trustworthy journalism." At the beginning of the segment, Hemmer played a clip of Stephen Colbert's Monday show where Colbert dropped the F-bomb while speaking in response to President Donald Trump, who said, "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired." "How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?: Go f--- yourself," Colbert said in response. Last week, CBS announced it would be canceling "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in 2026. Skydance Media told the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) it would eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and install an ombudsman to crack down on perceived bias within CBS News if a long-planned merger with Paramount Global is approved. Carr told Hemmer that the anticipated merger is still in the works. "That merger is still pending before the FCC right now," Carr said. "We are running our normal course review, our normal process on that, and we're taking a look at the record. The record includes these representations from Skydance that they're going to make some changes. That would be welcome news. Skydance has also said they would end DEI if this transaction was consummated. So that's pending before FCC right now, we're running our normal process, and so stay tuned on that one." Legacy broadcasters will have to return to unbiased journalism and "reorient," or deal with struggling ratings, Carr said. "That's where we have to go," the chairman said. "And I think we're getting some wins along the way. It's trust but verify. At the end of the day, we're not where we need to go, but I think this legacy media really needs to reorient, or they're gonna continue to run into issues like Colbert where it just doesn't make economic sense to run a partisan circus." Carr also addressed "The View" and the recent criticism from co-host Joy Behar, who reamed Trump following his call that former President Barack Obama be criminally investigated for allegedly manufacturing intelligence that set the Trump–Russia collusion story in motion. In a statement addressing Behar's criticism, the White House suggested the ABC show might be in trouble, saying, "It's no surprise that 'The View's ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air." "Look, it's entirely possible that there's issues over there," Carr told Hemmer. "I mean, again, stepping back, this broader dynamic, once President Trump has exposed these media gatekeepers and smashed this facade, there's a lot of consequences. I think the consequences of that aren't quite finished. And look, 'The View's' got a lot challenges there. It wasn't that long ago, I think one episode - one show alone - they had to stop, interrupt the show and read four separate legal notices to try to avoid legal liability. So I'm not surprised to hear people saying that their ratings are struggling."
