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.'

Nigel Farage on 20mph, coal mining and steel, as he explains vision for future for Wales
Reform UK leader NIgel Farage has spoken about his vision for the future of Wales, at a press conference today. He took to the stage just after 12pm in Port Talbot, with less than a year until the Senedd elections. His introduction had to be hastily rewritten given the UK Government's announcement, which went live at noon, that the winter fuel payment cuts are being partially reversed. Mr Farage said that Labour"knowing this press conference was taking place", announced they would make a fuel payment announcement at noon, as he was due to speak, but called it a "step in the right direction". He also announced independent councillors Andrew Barry and David Hughes, both members of Merthyr Tydfil council, have joined Reform UK, as they also took to the stage to explain how they had become disillusioned and moved to Reform. The most recent poll for Wales suggests his party is in line to take its first seats in the Senedd at the election in May 2026. Its only representation in Wales at the moment is with councillors, but a YouGov/Barn Cymru poll which asked people their voting intention for the Welsh Parliament in May put Reform UK in second with 25% of the vote. They were only behind Plaid Cymru who were projected to get 30% of the vote and ahead of Labour's 18%, reports Wales Online. In an opinion piece for WalesOnline, the party leader has given his first glimpses of policies ahead of the election. Mr Farage has said the party would allow coal mining again in Wales and says its long term plan is to "reopen the Port Talbot steelworks". The steelworks, owned by Tata, have not closed but its remaining blast furnaces were closed in 2024, with work now ongoing to build an electric arc furnace which will recycle previously-used steel. Thousands of jobs are being lost as part of the change. The Indian-owned company said the blast furnaces were at the end of their operational lives and too expensive to replace. The Port Talbot steelworks were, the company said, losing £1m a day before the blast furnaces were turned off. Reform UK say it would "use Welsh Development Grants to support real industry. We'll redirect economic funding from consultants and NGOs to actual factory floors, machinery, and industrial jobs in places like Llanelli, Shotton, and Ebbw Vale". Nigel Farage has also said the party would also set up "regional technical colleges" for people to have a "path into proper trade". The party would also, it says, stop any building being used for asylum seeker accommodation, end funding to the Welsh Refugee Council and scrap the Welsh Government's "Nation of Sanctuary". It also vowed to set up an Elon Musk style department to cut costs. "A Reform UK Senedd will also save hundreds of millions each year by cutting bureaucracy, waste and bad management. The establishment of Welsh DOGE will help us uncover where there is woke and wasteful spending and we will make sure those funds are redirected to frontline services," Mr Farage pledges. During the press conference Mr Farage also took aim at the controversial 20mph policy, saying he would reverse it. as he said he doubted the electric arc furnace at the Port Talbot Tata site would "every be switched on", but says their plan is to "reindustrialise Wales". He says in the coming years more steel will be needed and the UK should produce its own steel, and its own coal. "I'm not saying let's open all the pits, there are certain types of coal for certain types of uses, for the blast furnaces, we can use here," Mr Farage said, insisting it would be a small scale, specific mining and not like the "heydays of mining in Wales". Mr Farage also said there would be no going back on devolution, but criticised the running of Wales since. In response, a Welsh Labour spokesperson said: "Nigel Farage has no plans for steel - just a camera crew. You can't restart a blast furnace with a press conference. "Nigel Farage says that hopefully they mightthey'll bring back mining. The people of Wales will see through the false hope and false promises of a public-school boy from England who does not understand them and does not understand Wales. "His answer is to bring back the mines. The only thing Nigel Farage is trying to mine is votes from communities that have already gone through tough times. Nigel Farage has today brought his fantasy politics and magic money tree to Port Talbot. He's gambling with real people's livelihoods."

TikTok creating more than 500 new British jobs as UK users top 30 million
The Chinese-owned social media firm said its UK workforce would expand to 3,000 this year as part of its 'deep commitment' to the UK. It will also open a new 135,000sq ft office in London's Barbican, which is set to open early next year. The group already has its UK headquarters in Farringdon, London, which were opened in 2022. TikTok unveiled the plans as it said it now has more than 30 million regular users in the UK each month, which makes the market is biggest user community in Europe. Adam Presser, director of TikTok UK and global head of operations and trust and safety, said: 'Whether through direct investment in jobs and innovation, or the wider economic contribution from millions of British businesses on TikTok, we're pleased to be increasing our investment and presence here in the UK, an important hub for TikTok.' But it comes after Cabinet minister Pete Kyle signalled he was looking at measures to restrict the amount of time children spend on their phones, including through a possible 10pm curfew. Mr Kyle was asked on Sunday morning whether he would look at limiting the time children spend on social media to two hours per app after the Sunday People and Mirror reported the measure was being considered by ministers. The Online Safety Act has passed into law, and from this year will require tech platforms to follow new Ofcom-issued codes of practice to keep users safe online, particularly children. Hefty fines and site blockages are among the penalties for those caught breaking the rules, but many critics have argued the approach gives tech firms too much scope to regulate themselves. TikTok's Mr Presser said that, as well as its UK expansion plans, the group also invests 'significantly' in safety. He said: 'What underpins our continued growth is our deep commitment to safety and to creating an enjoyable and secure digital space to sustainably support creators, entrepreneurs and the wider economy, which is why we also invest significantly in safety.' TikTok first launched its UK operations in 2018 and is financially incorporated in Britain. The group was fined 530 million euro (£446 million) by the Irish data protection watchdog last month for breaching EU privacy rules around transferring user data to China. The video-sharing app was also sanctioned for not being transparent with users about where personal data was being sent and ordered the platform to comply with data protection rules within six months. TikTok said it would appeal against the decision. The social media giant, which is owned by China-based ByteDance, has been under scrutiny from regulators around the world over how it handles personal data, and is also facing a ban in the United States over its China links, which the US government has said is a national security issue.

Dutch sound alarm on Chinese super-embassy in London
For years, Steerpike has been warning about the dangers of a new Chinese 'super-embassy' being built in Tower Hamlets. Located on the site of Britain's old Royal Mint, there are plans to build Beijing's largest overseas outpost, sitting opposite the Tower of London. Local residents, many of whom are Uighur Muslim, are viscerally opposed, while the Met has major security concerns about the site becoming a magnet for anti-China protests too. Quelle surprise… Having ignored all domestic opposition to this plan, pig-headed officials might now be willing to advice from candid friends from overseas. This weekend, it was the Americans sounding the alarm in the Sunday Times, amid fears that the building could effectively become a nest of spies in the heart of London. And today, Mr S can bring warnings from across the English Channel. For it seems the Dutch – British allies since the Glorious Revolution of 1688 – are up in arms now too.
