In tonight’s edition, with the midterm election well underway, the tide is changing over at Fox News as the network drifts from its endless coverage of Donald Trump. Tonight we hear from a former Fox News exec on how the network will navigate the election result and what they can do about what has become a turnoff for its once loyal viewers – Trump.
Also, a Page Six veteran has stepped away from the publication after a decade; we’ll hear more about his future, including his “despicable plan” to out-scoop us all.
Plus, we have the fallout following a bizarre Breaker report about Fox regular and former Biden staffer Yemisi Egbewole and a pair of earrings that belonged to the grandmother of Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich. And The New York Times Guild has used Halloween to rally its cause, dressing as the scariest thing they can think of…management proposals.
Finally, we have our comprehensive Reading, Listening and Watching list covering the independent journalists taking on the networks during the midterms, the latest on the “high-profile celeb” trying to keep their name out of the press, and Substack’s Hamish McKenzie gets into a war of words with Elon Musk.
