most associated with that number wouldn’t want any part of it. That person? The devil.Drawing wide criticism, “60 Minutes” host Lesley Stahl sat down with the Georgia congresswoman for a wide-ranging interview just days before the news of twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s indictment, and, as expected, Greene spouted off her usual lies, while also complaining that people “never focus on anything good about me.”In the end, that interview drew 6.66 million viewers — again, on a Sunday.
Yes, really. So, during Monday night’s monologue on “The Tonight Show,” Fallon had to call out that irony.“And the devil was like ‘Don’t associate me with this! Hey!'” Fallon joked.Fallon also delighted in the fact that Lesley Stahl kicked off the interview by pulling up some of the names that Marjorie Taylor Greene has been called to date.

Lever News, which first reported the write-off potential and set the deduction at $213 million, noted that the IRS has ruled multiple times that settlements payments can be deducted.The settlement reached Tuesday will result the largest-known defamation payout in U.S. history, after Fox agreed to the deal at the last minute.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Let no one deny it: Rupert Murdoch is clever like a fox. He’s slyer than his adversaries in mainstream media. They still think in real-world terms. But Murdoch thinks in terms of the world that he’s created — the world of fake news, of lies that play because they carry the ring of vengeful mythology (life as a Charles Bronson film that never ends). The world that Fox News pretends is reality. You could make a case that in recent weeks, Murdoch’s circus of happy-talk dystopian propaganda (otherwise known as any random half hour of Fox News) took a major hit. The release of documents subpoenaed during the Dominion Voting System’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News revealed something that was, or should be, profoundly embarrassing to the network: that there are moments when its star huckster, Tucker Carlson, actually tells the truth (at least in private). The revelation that Carlson, along with a number of Fox News executives, peddled Donald Trump’s crackpot assertion that he won the 2020 election not because they believed it, but because they thought they had to go along with what their viewers wanted to hear, made the Fox team look like craven cowards. The lawsuit never made it to trial, but because those documents were leaked you could say the damage was done. And to keep the trial from happening, Murdoch had to cough up the mother of all defamation settlements: $787.5 million.
Trump filed against his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, dubbing their weird journey from longtime employer/employees and co-conspirators to enemies “the circle jerk of life.”“You know, Donald Trump was in — you’re not gonna believe this — he was in court today.

I’d almost forgotten what it was like when Trump was president, you know?” Corden joked.
Jen Psaki spotlighted Sunday the changing talking points, and even hypocrisies, of several Donald Trump-supporting, MAGA Republicans when it comes to defunding the police. The five-minute “Inside With Jen Psaki” segment breaks down how, despite many elected officials rallying around “backing the blue” and heralding “law and order” in the 2020 aftershocks of George Floyd’s murder, the likes of House representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan — and even Florida Gov.

Jimmy Fallon ran with the Easter Bunny jokes during Friday’s “Tonight Show,” particularly with this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll mascot reveal.“The White House is debuting a new bunny mascot. It’s a little different than the bunnies the last president hung out with,” Fallon said as a photo of Trump at “Playboy’s” 45th anniversary party posing with several Playmates flashed on the screen.“It’ll be weird when the Easter Bunny hugs Biden and underneath the mascot you hear…” Fallon said, adding with a mock Trump voice, “You have to pardon me please.”After mentioning that the Easter Egg Roll would take place on Monday instead of Easter Sunday — like a New Year’s Eve Party happening Jan. 2 — the “Tonight Show” host then put together a montage of all the different Easter Bunnies at the White House over the years, showing that they look different every time.“Bunny in a vest.

Twice-impeached and now officially indicted former president Donald Trump appeared in New York for his arraignment on Tuesday, and so did a few of his supporters. That included Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who, as Seth Meyers joked, really just went about it as a weird means of getting attention.To kick off his “A Closer Look” segment on Tuesday night, Meyers admitted that he never thought he’d get to say the words “Donald Trump was arrested,” before honing in on the size of the crowds he brought with him.

If they sat down with Marjorie Taylor Greene, could they do it as well? Because it should be done.
J. Kim Murphy “60 Minutes” has drawn criticism from journalists and other public figures for its sit-down interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which aired on Sunday evening. In the interview, Greene asserted that Democrats are the “party of pedophiles,” saying, “They support grooming children… Even Joe Biden himself supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.” The Republican representative doubled down on her comments in a Tweet, writing, “I will always fight to protect kids!” Greene, who was elected to a House seat representing Georgia in 2020, has been a primary subject of fervent criticism from Democratic figures for several years. During her campaign, she voiced support for a range of conspiracy theories promoted by the QAnon movement, which the FBI has deemed a domestic terror group. She has also promoted misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines.
