Roy Wood Jr. on Hosting White House Correspondents’ Dinner: ‘It’s an Accountability Session’

CNN Worldwide CEO Chris Licht confirmed that Kaitlan Collins would be taking over the 9 p.m. ET primetime slot, filling a major hole in the network schedule as it faces sagging ratings.

Fox News Media waved its banner during the Fox upfront Monday afternoon in New York, plugging a wide array of platforms but notably gliding past its main profit center in prime time.

The cruel and racist text was redacted from court filings submitted as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News, which resulted in the conservative network settling for $787.5 million dollars.

new bombshell text sent by ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson was published by The New York Times on Tuesday that reportedly was the catalyst to his ouster from the network in which he spewed more of his racist vitriol. But “The View” host Sunny Hostin just isn’t buying that idea, considering “Fox knew” about his racism.In the text, which was written the day after the Jan. 6 insurrection, Carlson wrote about an apparent desire to support a group of Trump supporters, who “surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living s–t out of him.”“Suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him,” Carlson wrote.

Right up until he took the lectern at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner this past weekend, Roy Wood Jr. was texting with his writers, making revisions.

He also mentioned his father’s work in local radio and his mother’s career in education. The comments added a personal touch to the proceedings, which are organized each year by the White House Correspondents Association and meant to call attention to the mission of holding government officials accountable in reporting meant to be consumed by the American public.
