Fox News: MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow sheds 43% of audience since Trump’s Election Day victory
Rachel Maddow's audience has plummeted by 43% since Election Day 2024, averaging only 1.4 million viewers. The decline is even steeper among the key demographic of adults aged 25-54, where viewership dropped by 56%. Despite this, Maddow has signed a new contract worth $25 million annually.
Critics question the value of her contract given the significant drop in ratings, especially after she reduced her show to once a week in 2022. Some analysts suggest that MSNBC's decisions regarding Maddow reflect a commitment to its ideological base rather than sound business strategy.

Times Of Israel: 1st hostage to return from Gaza meets Trump, urges him to do all he can to free captives
Judith Raanan, a former hostage held by Hamas, met with President-elect Donald Trump in Florida, urging him to advocate for the release of the remaining captives in Gaza. Raanan, who was kidnapped with her daughter during the October 7 attack, emphasized her trust in Trump to secure their return.
Currently, 96 of the 251 hostages taken during the assault are believed to be in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 34 confirmed dead. Negotiations for their release have stalled, but recent talks have resumed following a ceasefire in Lebanon, as the Biden administration seeks a deal before leaving office.
Fox News: Assad's departure surprised Biden, US leaders. Now America must step up and seize the moment
Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, marked by brutal tactics and mass killings, has reportedly collapsed after nearly 14 years of violence, leading to the deaths of over 500,000 Syrians. The U.S. administration's previous approach of easing sanctions on Assad reflects a misunderstanding of the ongoing crisis, which has seen escalating hostilities and humanitarian issues.
As the regime's authority wanes, the U.S. and its allies must urgently engage with local actors to stabilize the situation and protect allies in northeast Syria. The incoming Trump administration's stance on Syria remains uncertain, but overlooking the implications of Assad's fall could lead to significant geopolitical miscalculations.
Times Of Israel: Russia spirited Assad out of Syria in ‘secure manner,’ Russian deputy FM reveals
Russia has granted asylum to Bashar al-Assad, the ousted Syrian president, as confirmed by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. He stated that Assad is secure in Russia, which intervened in Syria to support his regime despite Western opposition.
Ryabkov also warned Israel against actions in the Golan Heights and mentioned Russia's non-participation in the International Criminal Court, implying Assad would not be handed over for trial. Meanwhile, Syria's interim leader has taken charge with support from former rebels.

Fox News: How Trump can pull the plug on Paris climate accord and end this treaty for good
President Trump plans to exit the Paris climate agreement, arguing it undermines U.S. interests and national security. The treaty, adopted by 196 parties, imposes obligations that could compromise U.S. energy independence and self-governance, favoring international agendas over domestic needs.
Critics highlight that the agreement has led to high energy costs and shortages in Europe and some U.S. states, while failing to deliver on its promises of affordable renewable energy. The treaty also entails wealth transfers from developed to developing nations, raising concerns about transparency and effectiveness.

Fox News: Drinking certain types of coffee can bring some health benefits, but the add-ins matter
Moderate coffee consumption, about two to five cups daily, is linked to various health benefits, including reduced risks of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers, according to Harvard research. Filtered coffee is recommended for heart health, while cold brew is less acidic and easier on digestion.
The health impact of coffee largely depends on additives like milk and sugar. Experts suggest using whole milk or plant-based alternatives with minimal added sugars. Occasional indulgence in high-calorie coffee drinks is acceptable, but regular consumption may hinder health goals.

Fox News: Ogling criminals: Why do people care about the attractiveness of suspects?
Luigi Mangione, arrested for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has garnered significant attention on social media where users have praised his looks, labeling him "attractive" and even a "folk hero" for some disillusioned with the healthcare system. Experts note that this phenomenon reflects society's tendency to form biases based on appearance, often overshadowing the gravity of criminal actions.
Psychotherapists highlight a troubling trend where beauty can blind individuals to moral judgments, leading to justifications of violent acts. The media's focus on Mangione's looks may contribute to this fixation, raising concerns about societal values and the glorification of individuals involved in serious crimes.
