After endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020 — and even saying in 2021 that he would “consider a presidential run in the future if that’s what the people wanted” — Dwayne Johnson is walking back his support for the incumbents in the 2024 election.
In an interview with Will Cain on Fox News, Johnson expressed dissatisfaction with the state of America and said the he won’t be endorsing any candidates in the 2024 election. “The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” Johnson said. “I thought, ‘I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence [and] share: This is who I’m going to endorse.’ I’m not going to do that.”
He continued by pondering what his influence means in this day and age of political polarization: “I was then,...

Dwayne Johnson will not endorse any presidential candidate this year, he confirmed during an interview with Fox News. It’s a change of pace for the celebrity, who publicly endorsed Joe Biden for president during the 2020 election.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” Johnson said. “I thought, ‘I’m in this position where I have some influence and I felt it was my job then to exercise my influence [and] share: This is who I’m going to endorse.’ I’m not going to do that. I was then, the most followed man in the world, and am today, and I appreciate that… but what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts — which is division. That got me.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said in an interview with Fox & Friends that he won’t make an endorsement in this year’s presidential race, after having thrown his support to Joe Biden in the last cycle.
In an interview with Will Cain, Johnson said, “The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time. And I thought back then, when we talked about, ‘Hey, I am in this position where I have some influence, and it’s my job then.’ I felt like that then. ‘It is my job now to exercise my influence and share with, ‘This is who I am going to endorse.'”
He suggested that the reason he would not endorse this cycle is because his decision to go public four years ago proved too polarizing. Donald Trump has long had close ties to WWE.

One of Hollywood’s biggest stars — Dwayne Johnson — has just walked back his endorsement of President Joe Biden, and on Fox News of all places.
You’re welcome?
Disney alumn “The Rock” appeared on Fox & Friends in an interview with Will Cain. He said that he regrets endorsing Biden in 2020 and isn’t happy with the state of the country right now.
“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well that answer’s no. Do I believe we are going to get better? I believe in that, I’m an optimistic guy and I believe we can get better,” he said.
However, he didn’t specifically endorse Donald Trump, either. Rather, he said he’s not going to share who he’s voting for November.

A former Arizona man who claims he had to flee his home after former Fox News host Tucker Carlson deliberately and falsely portrayed him as an undercover FBI agent who launched the January 6, 2020 attacks on the U.S. Capitol, has sued the cable-news outlet for defamation.
It is the latest suit from a series of parties who allege Fox News deliberately and with malice broadcast incorrect and damaging accounts about them. Fox Corp., the outlet’s parent, recently paid out $787.5 million to voting-technology firm Dominion Voting Systems over allegations that Fox News deliberately implicated the company in false allegations about the security of the 2020 presidential election, and paid $12 million to a former Fox News producer who alleged she had been hectored into providing false testimony in that matter.

Fox News is facing a new defamation lawsuit from a man who claims that former host Tucker Carlson falsely identified him as an undercover FBI agent who triggered the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
The lawsuit was filed in Delaware Superior Court, the same venue where the network recently faced the prospect of a trial over Dominion Voting Systems’ claim that its hosts and guests amplified a false narrative that the company rigged the 2020 presidential election. Just before opening statements were to begin in the case, Fox News settled for $787.5 million.
Epps voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, was an avid Fox News viewer and, believing that the latter election was stolen from him, was among those who trekked to Washington, D.C. in January, 2021 to participate in protests, according to the lawsuit.
Although Epps was outside the Capitol on January 6, he “did not believe violence was appropriate,” acted to deescalate the situation,...

Less than two months into Ron DeSantis’ declared run for president, his most important backers in conservative media are already starting to lose faith.
Since the beginning of the Biden presidency, the powerful Murdoch family has favored the Florida governor in the 2024 presidential primary, largely due to a conviction that DeSantis would be a more electable, and less chaotic, evolution from Donald Trump. But in recent weeks, the Murdochs have grown increasingly displeased with the DeSantis campaign’s perceived stumbles, lackluster polling, and inability to swiftly dethrone Trump, multiple sources tell Rolling Stone.

Fox News kicked off a marketing campaign for its new primetime lineup, touting the four conservative hosts helming the weekday evenings as “the right voices at the right time.”
The promo, released Monday by cable news network, introduces Laura Ingraham as the “No. 1 female host on cable news.” Moving from her 10 p.m. timeslot to kick off the evening at 7 p.m., Ingraham cements her place in the pack by saying “real Americans need to be heard.” Next up is Jesse Watters at 8 p.m., who declares that “we cover the stories nobody else will.”
Sean Hannity, who remains in the 9 p.m. hour holds down the appeal of tradition to viewers as he states “I believe in faith, family, and the USA,” while Greg Gutfeld, who closes out the night at 10 p.m., joked that his show is “this close to actual entertainment.” The network applauded Hannity as the...

The headlines this week have not been kind to Ron DeSantis, who is attempting and so far failing to catch up in the polls to 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. Even the Republican-friendly Fox News has questioned why DeSantis recently barely seems to be able to break 20 percent, even with his bizarre campaign ads. But according to DeSantis, the reason for these headlines is not that his campaign is actually failing. No, instead he blames a vast media conspiracy for his lack of success in the polls.

Donald Trump flubbed a “Fox and Friends” quote by touting a segment of the Fox News show he believed was a compliment when in fact, it was actually a criticism of the former President’s campaign.
“Rachel Campos-Duffy and Will Cain, two terrific people (along with Pete Hegseth!), were right this morning on ‘Fox & Friends.’ Almost 99% of the people I support in a Republican Primary, Win!” the former President wrote on Truth Social Sunday morning, adding a quote that read, “A Trump Endorsement will Make Your Career, A Trump Fight Makes It Very Difficult!”
As it turns out, the hosts made the exact opposite point while discussing Trump’s Saturday rally in Pickens, South Carolina. During the discussion, Joey Jones, who stepped in during Hegseth’s absence, argued that the former President’s support — or lack thereof — would not “make” nor “kill” a Republican politician’s career, using his...

Fox News’ lineup changes will shift two familiar faces, Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld, to primetime — a move that is bound to secure a ratings bump while ushering in a new brand of extremism that media experts warn could be a “liability” for the network in the wake of the Dominion Voting Systems settlement.
Announced just over two months after Tucker Carlson’s abrupt departure, Watters has effectively been crowned his successor after taking over the 8 p.m. timeslot, which had been occupied by “Fox News Tonight” since Carlson’s absence.

Update: Fox News issued another statement to address potential changes to its primetime schedule, this time on the status of Laura Ingraham.
A network spokesperson said, “Reports based on various tweets by left wing activists are wildly inaccurate — Laura Ingraham, the top-rated woman in cable news, is now and will continue to be a prominent host and integral part of the Fox News lineup.”
The latest Fox News statement does not address whether she will remain in her 10 p.m. Et time period, but the network statement is a pushback on social media rumors that she is exiting.
The speculation about Ingraham started after the Drudge Report, in its main headline, reported that Fox News was about to overhaul its primetime line up, with Hannity leading the 8 p.m. hour and shows hosted by Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld taking the later slots. That left the question of what would happen to Ingraham.

In Jan. 2021, Tucker Carlson told a Fox News colleague that he hated Donald Trump “passionately.” But less than two months earlier he was singing a dramatically different tune, newly leaked texts reveal.
In an exchange with his senior producer, obtained by the Daily Beast, the recently fired host was so upset about the unusually negative coverage Fox was giving Trump that he said he was “happy to start threating people” to make it stop.
The text exchange happened Nov. 19, 2020, as Fox News was suffering a severe drop in ratings caused by the exodus of viewers angry that it had accurately called the election for Joe Biden and then — temporarily — refused to support Trump’s constant lying about the loss.
The day before, Fox had published this story about Trump’s decision to hold the annual presidential “pardon” of a turkey. The article’s opening paragraph noted this was happening, “despite...

Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corporation board member Paul Ryan and Fox Corp. executive Viet Dinh can be compelled to testify in Dominion’s upcoming defamation trial against Fox News, a judge said on Wednesday.
Delaware Judge Eric M. Davis said that Dominion would have to issue a trial subpoena to force such live testimony, but he would not quash it over issues of inconvenience or because they previously have sat for depositions. Davis cited court precedent that officers, directors and managing agents of a Delaware corporation can be compelled to appear.
“Both Fox and Dominion have made these four parties very relevant,” Davis said.
He added, “If Dominion wants to bring them live, they need to do a trial subpoena and I would not quash it and I would compel them to come.”
He also cited issues with Rupert Murdoch’s deposition and whether questions asked of him were clear or unfairly prejudicial.
Delaware Judge Eric M. Davis said that Dominion would have to issue a trial subpoena to force such live testimony, but he would not quash it over issues of inconvenience or because they previously have sat for depositions. Davis cited court precedent that officers, directors and managing agents of a Delaware corporation can be compelled to appear.
“Both Fox and Dominion have made these four parties very relevant,” Davis said.
He added, “If Dominion wants to bring them live, they need to do a trial subpoena and I would not quash it and I would compel them to come.”

Dominion Voting Systems’ whopping $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox Corporation and Fox News is cleared to go to trial, despite the media company’s efforts.
Barring a settlement or other unforeseen circumstances, the voting technology company will get to have its attorneys grill Fox News anchors and Fox Corp. executives, Judge Eric M. Davis of Superior Court in State of Delaware ruled in a filing on Friday.
“The Court will allow this civil action to go to trial,” Davis said Friday.

The Wachowskis definitely think big and Jupiter Ascending is no exception, but they can't seem to let their grand designs take a back seat to the story they wish to tell. Just imagine the mumbo-jumbo of the two Matrix sequels, stuffed into the very first film and yet it still ran for only 136 minutes. Think about everything that would have been cut. Neo wouldn't have even questioned the rabbit hole, there would have been no time to remove tracking devices or learn Kung fu. Get it out of here, we need to explain the key maker, excise the twins and somehow make sense of the Architect. Ergo, we are concurrently left with a movie where some details may seem pertinent, yet the overall feature is most irrelevant. In this respect, Jupiter Ascending is essentially a trilogy of films with the soul of the film gutted, packing what remains into 127 minutes...
