Fox News host shocks viewers with stunning confession: 'I apologize to the entire world'
A controversial Fox News host has apologized 'to the entire world' for being on cable news even as she faces renewed calls to be fired. Jessica Tarlov, who serves as the sole liberal panelist on The Five, made the astonishing remarks on the Prof G podcast, which she co-hosts with Scott Galloway. The two were speaking with Larry Sabato, the University of Virginia 's Center for Politics founder and director, when Tarlov asked what issue enrages him the most. He then replied that he rages about a lot of issues these days, which he attributed to the effects of cable news. 'I watch more TV news that I ever have before,' Sabato admitted. 'TV funnels what's selling on social media, I think, more than the reverse. That makes me rage.' Tarlov agreed, and said, 'As someone who's on cable news, I apologize to the entire world for what we export.' She did not clarify what she meant, but her comments made Sabato start to laugh as he lamented how social media is driving political discourse. 'There's nothing we can do about social media,' he said. 'The one thing I've been waiting for that I was promised as a young person was a time machine, I gave up on flying cars,' Sabato continued. 'We still don't have one, 'cause I'd love to go back and make it impossible to create social media. 'I don't know how I'd do it,' the political analyst added. 'But I would try to do that.' The exchange comes as Tarlov is facing backlash on social media for remarks she made on Friday's episode of The Five. The panel had been discussing the possibility that the Biden White House covered up his cancer diagnosis, when she turned her attention to President Donald Trump's crypto dinner - and falsely claimed he made 40 percent of his wealth from cryptocurrency during his presidency. 'Greg mentioned a "staggering level of corruption" and I just got to note, though that the staggering level of corruption from last night's meme coin dinner, ' Tarlov said on Friday's broadcast. She then doubled down on her comments as the other panelists on the show scolded her for changing the subject. 'I'm talking about who is corrupt and who is profiting off the American office,' she said in an apparent bid to defend herself. Watch Jessica Tarlov go off-topic and rant about a Trump meme coin when the discussion was a major presidential scandal regarding Biden's health — JOSH DUNLAP (@JDunlap1974) May 25, 2025 But, Greg Guttfeld, noted: 'You're defending an administration that covered up a dying leader and you're sitting here going "but meme coin, meme coin."' The exchange led some on X to call on Fox News to fire the panelist, with some claiming she would be more suited at The View. Others also hit out at Tarlov for her false remarks, with one user saying she is 'dumb as a doornail.' 'Why does Fox News even employ her?' he asked. 'She brings nothing to the table and Jessie [Watters] and Greg [Guttfeld] call her out on all her lies, dumb liberal!!!' Another user, though, suggested Tarlov may be a 'a paid actress' because 'nobody could be that dumb. 'Trump is the only president to lose money in office and the only one to donate his salary,' the user wrote. 'Obama never made more than $400K, yet he is a multimillionaire. Biden as a senator never made more than $175K.' Many X users called on Fox News to fire Tarlov for her recent remarks, while others called her 'dumb' for suggesting President Donald Trump made 40 percent of his wealth in office Still, Tarlov is not the only cable news host who has rebuked the system in recent years. Just last month, former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd told Mediaite he had grown demoralized by cable news content years before he left NBC News. 'I had it on in my office all the time,' he said. 'But most cable news felt like a whole bunch of people trying to game an algorithm. It stopped being informational.' Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly also said on her podcast last year that after watching cable news during the 2024 presidential election cycle, she was disappointed that 'nothing's changed. 'The people don't look as good - that's changed,' she joked. 'But they've changed nothing. They're having the same stilted, guided, fake conversations that last four minutes long with, like, the stupid panels. 'It's amazing how out of date they are,' Kelly said. For Larry Sabato, though, the issue with cable news is an inability to hold Trump accountable. He claimed to the Daily Beast that most networks were 'sane-washing' the president, arguing that they underestimate Trump's penchant for retribution - like his ongoing lawsuit against CBS News. 'I've personally seen the effects of Trump's intimidation of media companies, law firms and yes, universities,' Sabato said. 'The solution they've adopted seems to be "Let's keep our head down, stick to a lot of both-sides coverage and then Trump will target others."' In fact, the top brass at ABC News and its parent company Disney have reportedly asked the ladies of The View to dial back their constant complaining about the president. 'It hasn't dawned on some that Trump will eventually get around to slamming them too, as well as misusing the power of the government to exact revenge,' Sabato claimed.

Biden family's narcissism 'severely f-----' the country, says liberal NYU professor
NYU professor and liberal podcast host Scott Galloway criticized the Biden family this week, saying its "narcissism" has hurt the country. During a recent episode of his "Pivot" podcast that he co-hosts with journalist Kara Swisher, the pundit argued that the way former President Biden botched the 2024 election for the Democratic Party will be his "legacy." Speaking of how Biden ensured former Vice President Kamala Harris would be his replacement on the campaign trail last year, he said, "The reality is she was not a strong candidate and President Biden and his family's narcissism have severely f----- this country. Severely. And that is his legacy." New Book Reveals Biden's Inner Circle Worried About His Age Years Before Botched Debate Performance Galloway began his point by stating that the party should have had a primary following Biden withdrawing from the race so that the best possible candidate could have beaten then-GOP candidate Donald Trump. "I was Saturday afternoon quarterbacking," he said. "I said have a mini 'Shark Tank'-like primary with the best eight candidates – go from two debates with eight, then to four, then to two. It would have dominated the media cycle." Read On The Fox News App Galloway added that Harris was "not a great candidate," though he praised her efforts in trying to replace her boss. "I think she did a good job given the hand she was dealt with, but this is a candidate who didn't make it to Iowa four years earlier, which says to me America didn't think of her as a great candidate." Jake Tapper Declares Biden White House Lied About 'Cheap Fakes' After Cnn Peddled Narrative In 2024 In 2024, Galloway recorded a video for Democrats voting from abroad. In January 2025, he posted an article on Medium with the title "How to Survive the Next Four Years." The former president has been criticized by his own party in the months following the election for not dropping out of the race soon enough and leaving room for a Democratic primary. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., argued days after the election that "had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race." She added, "The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, there would be an open primary." Former Harris surrogate and DNC fundraiser, Lindy Li, also grilled Biden for endorsing Harris immediately after dropping out, saying the move headed off a primary. "I actually think President Biden, you know, the whole endorsing her thirty minutes after he dropped out, I think that was a big f-you to the party," she said several days after Trump's victory. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Other Democratic figures have said Biden compounded this problem by demanding that Harris stay in lockstep with his presidential agenda. According to a recent book written by journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, the former president "would say publicly that Harris should do what she must to win. But privately, including in conversations with her, he repeated an admonition: Let there be no daylight between us." During the podcast, Galloway added that Biden's insistence on Harris running, and her subsequent loss will be how he's remembered. "I will get s--- for this because people are correctly feeling empathy for him, but his legacy, in my view, has been ruined by this," he said.

Expert calls Musk's ‘Doge' involvement ‘one of the greatest brand destructions'
The prominent US marketing professor Scott Galloway says Elon Musk's decision to implement brutal job and spending cuts within the federal government on behalf of the Trump administration was 'one of the greatest brand destructions' ever. Speaking on Friday's episode of the popular Pivot podcast, which he co-hosts, Galloway said Trump's billionaire businessman adviser alienated the customer base of his electrical vehicle manufacturer Tesla – one of his most important holdings – while aligning himself with a president whose allies aren't interested in the kinds of cars the company makes. Galloway then cited polling which suggested Tesla had fallen from the eighth-most reputable brand in 2021 to 95th. 'He's alienated the wrong people,' Galloway remarked. 'Three-quarters of Republicans would never consider buying an EV. So he's cozied up to the people who aren't in EVs.' Galloway also rattled off figures maintaining that Tesla's sales were down 59% in France, 81% in Sweden, 74% in the Netherlands, 66% in Denmark, 50% in Switzerland and 33% in Portugal after Musk sought to intervene in various European political affairs in recent months. Many in Europe, a lucrative EV market, were put off by Musk's meddling. And Tesla's Chinese competitor BYD outsold the Austin-based company in Europe for the first time ever in April, a report from Jato Dynamics, which supplies automotive industry intelligence. 'This has arguably been one of the greatest brand destructions,' Galloway said to his co-host, veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher. 'Tesla was a great brand. 'He's alienated his core demographic.' The federal job and spending cuts attributed to Musk stem from his involvement leading the so-called department of government efficiency (Doge) during Trump's second US presidency, which began in January. Musk landed the role after his super political action committee donated $200m to Trump's successful run in November to return to the White House after he lost the 2020 election as the incumbent. Opinion polling since has suggested strong disapproval of the work Musk has done for Trump, including some research showing a majority of voters disliked the way the businessman and Doge had dealt with federal government employees in particular as the department slashed jobs. Toward the end of April, Tesla was reporting a 71% dip in profits – and, on an earnings call with Tesla investors, Musk said he would start pulling back from his role at Doge beginning in May. Musk said his work getting the government's 'financial house in order is mostly done' and therefore his 'time allocation to Doge will drop significantly'. One nonpartisan research group, the Partnership for Public Service, estimated in late April that about $160bn in cuts touted by Doge were on track to cost roughly $135bn.
