NewsNation accuses Fox News of stealing their slogan for its Super Bowl ad
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 host rages at rising Democrat for accusing him of abruptly ending interview
Fox News' Will Cain fired back at Texas State Rep. James Talarico on Tuesday after the rising Democratic star claimed that an intense on-air interview was abruptly ended because the conservative host struggled to answer questions about Republican gerrymandering. 'Trolls distorting the interview is one thing, but you were there,' Cain tweeted at Talarico. 'I respectfully gave you ten minutes, an eternity in cable news.' In recent days, Talarico has served as something of a spokesman for the Texas Democrats who fled the state in an effort to block Republicans from pushing through a redistricting vote that could potentially allow the GOP to pick up five new U.S. House seats. Talarico, along with many of his Democratic colleagues, is c urrently holed up in Illinois to deny the legislature a quorum. Talarico, who suddenly burst onto the national scene last month following a well-received appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, appeared on Cain's show to defend the Democrats' decision to flee the Lone Star State. Throughout the interview, which featured Cain repeatedly denouncing the lawmaker for 'abandoning' Texas, Talarico widely condemned redistricting efforts as an attempt to 'rig' elections. Having vehemently defended the Texas GOP's mid-decade gerrymander push by claiming it better reflects the state's overall electorate, Cain accused Talarico of hypocrisy before tossing out a sports analogy. 'You've done something that you say is constitutional, which I'd suggest is pretty radical, which is leaving your office – abandoning your office – in defense of a minority point of view. It's been done in several other states where your party has a majority,' the Fox host declared. 'It's a little bit like taking your basketball and going home when you don't like the way it's played, but when you're winning in Illinois, you're happy to play by these rules.' Once again saying he's 'condemned all gerrymandering across the country,' the Democratic legislator retorted with a question of his own that left the right-wing commentator scuffling. 'When Democrats had a majority in Congress, they voted to ban gerrymandering. Do you know how many of them joined them in that effort?' Talarico asked. 'Which one? I'm sorry, which state did you just refer to?' Cain, after a brief pause, responded. 'I'm asking, do you know how many Republicans joined Democrats in the U.S. Congress to ban gerrymandering? All the Democrats voted for it. Zero Republicans voted for it, zero,' the Democrat shot back. He was apparently referring to the 2021 For the People Act, which would have banned mid-decade redistricting and required independent redistricting commissions. The legislation passed the House but eventually died in the Senate due to a lack of GOP support. 'You can spare me both-sides rhetoric. It's clearly one side that is trying to rig the rules in the middle of the game,' Talarico continued. 'We don't accept cheating in politics and in our relationships. We shouldn't accept cheating it in our elections... We should stand up to politicians that don't want to face accountability at the ballot box. That's what's happening here.' After Cain admitted he was 'unfamiliar' with the details of that legislation, he attempted to corner Talarico on Massachusetts and why the state doesn't have any Republican-held congressional seats despite Donald Trump receiving roughly 35 percent of the vote during the last presidential election. 'In my view, what has happened here is you've done something in certain states, and you don't like it when it's done in Republican states,' Cain proclaimed before referencing California's threat to respond to Texas' redistricting effort with one of its own. ' And now you're saying you've done the same thing as us—you've done the same thing as us—and we are going to, by the way, if you do it, we're going to ratchet it up even more, in the words of Gavin Newsom,' he added. Talarico, however, appeared to turn the tables on the Fox star and stumped him once again. 'My party has never gerrymandered in the middle of the decade at the request of the president of the United States, nor would we. The only way this is going to happen in blue states is if Texas executes this power grab,' he replied. 'You mentioned Massachusetts. Do you know the party of the governor that signed that map into law? He was a Republican. It was a Republican governor that signed that map into law,' Talarico continued, referencing then-Gov. Charlie Baker signing off on Massachusetts' new map in 2021. The Boston Globe has also reported that it is 'practically impossible' to draw a GOP-leaning district in the state due to geography. 'And I asked you if Republican policies are popular, why do they need to redraw these maps? Why can't they just run on their policies?' Talarico then pressed the host, prompting Cain to seemingly tap out. 'I'm getting wrapped on time. I'm enjoying this conversation. I apologize,' Cain said before asking his guest one more question about whether he was receiving any funding from liberal philanthropist George Soros or former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke. With the back-and-forth quickly going viral on social media, Talarico tweeted a clip of the exchange on Tuesday evening and claimed that Cain cut the interview short rather than respond to his questions about the GOP's gerrymandering efforts. 'I just went on Fox News to tell the truth about the redistricting power grab in Texas,' he posted on X. 'I asked a simple question: 'If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?' He refused to answer — and cut the interview early.' Cain, meanwhile, quickly shot back with a pair of social media posts of his own and accused Talarcio of 'dishonesty,' noting that the conversation ran nearly ten minutes and that the Democrats' pointed question wasn't the reason why the interview wrapped when it did. 'Oh James. Trolls distorting the interview is one thing, but you were there. I respectfully gave you ten minutes, an eternity in cable news. And in all that time you had no answer as to why you've abandoned your job. You can take a flag to IL but you still cut and run from Texas,' he wrote. 'And your dishonesty in suggesting I cut your interview short perfectly illustrates the honesty of your run away from TX,' Cain added. 'I always welcome honest debate but it's clear that's not who you are. Stay in Illinois little Jimmy. Better fit for you than TX.' Those plans could change if Republicans go back on their word and call a second special session on Friday that would include the redistricting legislation. Abbott, who has also threatened to gerrymander Texas even more in Republicans' favor if other Democratic-led states try to redistrict, said on Tuesday morning that he would 'immediately' call another special session after ending the first one.

Grizzly bears, 32k troops & one reclusive emperor… inside isolated ‘last resort' base where Trump will host Putin
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ISOLATED ice military base has been named as the setting for one of the most important superpower summits of our times. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will sit down "one-on-one" at the Elmendorf-Richardson base in Alaska on Friday - the Russian's chance to prove he wants peace. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 11 Elmendorf-Richardson base in Anchorage, Alaska, has been named as the setting for Trump's meeting with Putin Credit: DVIDS 11 Trump and Putin will fly touch down on the massive military runway on Friday Credit: DVIDS/USAF Airman First Class Mario Calabro 11 Trump and Putin will sit down for what the White House calls a 'listening exercise' Credit: Reuters 11 The base, near Anchorage, is bristling with troops from the US Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps - as well as National Guardsmen and Reserves. In all, over 32,000 military personnel and their families live there - ten percent of the population of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city - alongside grizzly bears, moose and wolves. It played a "particularly important" role in defending the US against the Soviet Union during the cold war, according to the Library of Congress. The White House apparently wanted to avoid the sight of a Russian leader being welcomed into a US military setting - but concluded there was no other option. Elmendorf-Richardson is reportedly considered the only site in Alaska which could be locked down to the required level of security for the high-stakes meeting. Putin will fly the nine hours from Moscow and Trump the seven-and-a-half from Washington, with ample room on the runway for both their presidential aircrafts. This will not be the first crucial coming together of world leaders at Elmendorf-Richardson. In 1971, President Nixon held an historic 30-minute discussion with Emperor Hirohito of Japan. It marked the first occasion that a reigning Japanese monarch had "stepped foot on foreign soil," according to Nixon. Putin's visit is likely to last longer than Hirohito's, who was only in Alaska for 100 minutes, though proceedings are not expected to roll over into Saturday. First time a reigning Japanese Emperor had set foot on foreign soil Trump is reportedly planning to arrive and leave on Friday in order to emphasise the limited timescale. That could also be because there "nowhere to stay" at the base, according to a Republican speaking to The Times. Joe Biden also picked Anchorage to backdrop a meeting with the Chinese in 2021. But Trump will be hoping for a better result after that one turned sour - with the Chinese delegation accusing the Americans of 'condescension and hypocrisy'. 11 The same base hosted President Richard Nixon and Emperor Hirohito of Japan for an historic meeting in 1971 Credit: Getty 11 Alaska's largest base houses tens of thousands of troops and their families Credit: Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson 11 Member of the US Army, Air Force and Marine Corps live at Elmendorf-Richardson Credit: Alamy Alaska was selected as the general location for the meeting before officials knew exactly where it would happen. America's largest state is a strategic spot, lying at the intersection between North America and Russia. You can even see Russian territory from Alaskan soil - if you stand on the island of Little Diomede and look out to Big Diomede. And it's a very long way from Europe and its leaders - whom Putin would much rather forget about. It also means Russian power is making a return to the territory once owned by the Tsardom. Putin's distant predecessor, Tsar Alexander II, sold Alaska to America in 1867 for $7.2 million — or two cents per acre. Vladimir Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said: "It seems entirely logical for our delegation to simply fly across the Bering Strait, and for such an important and anticipated summit of the leaders of the two countries to be held in Alaska." 11 Russian drones and missiles have continued to terrorise Ukrainian cities in the lead-up to the meeting Credit: Reuters 11 The world waits with bated breath to discover whether Putin has any intention of moving towards peace Credit: AP 11 Elmendorf-Richardson is Alaska's largest military base Credit: Reuters Security expert Hamish de Bretton-Gordon explained why Alaska was indeed a logical choice - and a crucial one for Putin. The Russian leader was slapped with an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2023 so would in theory be cuffed if he were to visit any of 125 countries around the world - including the UK, France, Germany and Canada. The United States, however, is among the minority of countries which does not recognise the rule of the ICC - alongside Russia, China, Pakistan and a handful of others. This means that, unlike most nations, the US is not bound to arrest Putin when he visits. De Bretton-Gordon said: "He can roam around the world, in theory, in any countries that are not members of the ICC. "A warrant from the ICC means nothing in those countries that are not signatories to it. "And the Americans aren't, so - he can go to Alaska. "That is the loophole. He can operate exactly how he sees fit. He wouldn't have gone anywhere where potentially he could be arrested." 11 It was thought Zelensky might also attend - though that looks increasingly unlikely De Bretton-Gordon added: "President Putin is absolutely fixated about his own security, and his desire not to wander out of friendly airspace. "There's not much of that to Alaska - he will only be in international airspace for a few miles." Mike Dunleavy, the Republican governor there since 2018, posted on X: 'Alaska is the most strategic location in the world, sitting at the crossroads of North America and Asia, with the Arctic to our north and the Pacific to our south. 'A mere two miles separating Russia from Alaska, no other place plays a more vital role in our national defence, energy security, and Arctic leadership.'

A 'listening exercise', says the White House By Sayan Bose, foreign news reporter DONALD Trump and Vladimir Putin's historic one-on-one meeting will be a "listening exercise", the White House has said. Friday's summit comes as Volodymyr Zelensky revealed the Russians want Ukraine to withdraw from its eastern Donetsk region as part of a ceasefire deal. Speaking at a news briefing in Kyiv, Zelensky said Russia's position was conveyed to him by US officials ahead of Friday's summit. He reiterated that Ukraine would not withdraw from territories it controls because it was unconstitutional and would only serve as a springboard for a future Russian invasion. Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, also hinted that the President might travel to Russia after he misspoke yesterday and said he was considering it. Not ruling out a possible trip, she said: "Perhaps there are plans." This would mean giving up the remaining 30 per cent of the Donetsk region and would leave almost the entirety of the Donbas in Russia's bloody hands.
