In the "Star Trek: Prodigy" episode "Mindwalk", the crew of the U.S.S. Protostar has learned that their ship is infected with an insidious computer virus planted by the evil Diviner (John Noble). It seems that the virus can be spread through mere communications channels, meaning Dal (Brett Gray), Gwyn (Ella Purnell), and the rest of the Protostar teens can't explain who they are to the grumpy Admiral Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) pursuing them in a massive vessel called the U.S.S. Dauntless. If the virus infects a ship, its systems will be rewired to automatically attack other Federation vessels. The Diviner aims to destroy the Federation before a cataclysmic future event occurs; the Diviner, naturally, is a time traveler.
With the Dauntless on their tail, Dal realizes that he can communicate with Janeway. Dal, it seems, has some mild and latent telepathic abilities, and reaches out to communicate directly to Janeway's brain.

Former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro reported to prison Tuesday afternoon to serve a four-month federal sentence after being convicted on charges of contempt of Congress in January.
Ahead of his surrender, Navarro, who served as Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under Trump, held a press conference in Miami before turning himself in. He spoke of his incarceration in historical terms, invoking George Washington before heading to the slammer.

A small contingent of journalists gathered near the Canadian border earlier this morning to watch as Dixville Notch, Nh, continued its tradition of casting the first ballots on an election day.
Nikki Haley cleaned Donald Trump’s clock in this hamlet — 6 votes to none.
As the day goes on, network correspondents are fanning out across the state at precincts to talk to actual voters, after months in which the first-in-the-nation primary was judged and assessed by polls. Commentary and analysis is focusing on whether
Haley and her top surrogate, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, blitzed the airwaves on Monday, while Trump held a final rally in Laconia, Nh, where he predicted that Haley would be out of the race after tonight. He was interrupted by climate protesters, who have been a frequent presence at events in recent days.

Have you heard it’s cold in Des Moines? The subzero temperatures are making Monday’s caucuses in Iowa the coldest on record, a running theme of coverage throughout the day and into this evening. It’s not trivial, as the frigid weather may very well impact turnout.
As Iowa’s first votes of the 2024 presidential race come in, expect a lot of analysis, punditry and prediction, even if the results represent just a sliver of the primary electorate. The Hawkeye state’s primacy as the first-in-the-nation often obscures the peculiarities of the caucus system, unless there is some kind of glitch, which is what happened four years ago with the Democrats.
That said, networks see the caucuses as the kickoff of what is hoped a spike in viewer interest in the presidential contest, as was seen in 2020 and 2016. All of the broadcast networks are planning for ongoing coverage of...

The final episode of the original "Star Trek," an episode called "Turnabout Intruder," aired on June 3, 1969. It was an inauspicious end for the now-celebrated sci-fi series, as the episode was, by its very construct, blazingly sexist. In the episode, Sandra Smith played Dr. Janice Lester, an ex-lover of Captain Kirk (William Shatner) who uses an eerie new technology to shunt her consciousness into Kirk's body and put Kirk's consciousness into her own. She aims to impersonate Kirk because she was never able to attain the rank of captain herself. This is the only time in "Star Trek" history where it is said that women were, by Starfleet's own rules, not allowed to be captains. Additionally, there are several lines of dialogue about how Lester's female emotions are clearly getting in the way of her judgment, and how she resents her own sex.
This has thankfully been ignored by all modern "Star Trek" writers.

The news of Donald Trump’s indictment has come as a shock to many — including someone in the studio at Fox News.
A surprise alert came during the telecast of Fox News Live on Thursday: “We have just gotten word,” said anchor Sandra Smith. “Former president Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in New York. Trump was under investigation by the D.A.’s office for his alleged hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign.”
As Smith gave the announcement, a voice on a hot mic was heard gasping, followed by someone saying “What?” and “Hmm!” It is unclear whether the exclamations came from one, two or three different voices.
The indictment makes Trump the first-ever U.S. president to receive criminal charges, though the exact charges are not yet known. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg presides over the case, which...

Republicans excoriated President Biden for suggesting during his State of the Union address earlier this month that some party members want to cut Medicare and Social Security. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy may have said doing so is off the table, but the GOP is clearly thirsting to cut entitlements, and Biden was right in saying that some have floated doing away with Medicare and Social Security. One such Republican is former vice president and presumptive 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pence.

Fox News Media said it has parted ways with legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, following an associate producer’s claim of sexual harassment.
The employee, John Fawcett, who works on Fox Business Network’s Kudlow, filed a lawsuit Monday in New York Supreme Court (read it here) against the network, outlining his claims against Napolitano.
Fawcett also alleged that Larry Kudlow, the host of the show, has used ethnic slurs and made sexually inappropriate comments about women “in front of multiple staffers,” including himself and a senior vice president. He also claimed that Kudlow nixed the appearance of Rep. Byron Donalds (R-fl) on the show because of his race.
In a statement Fox News Media said: “Upon first learning of John Fawcett’s allegations against Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News Media immediately investigated the claims and addressed the matter with both parties. The network and Judge Napolitano have since parted ways.

President Joe Biden urged more Americans to get Covid-19 shots, pointing to the relaxed Centers for Disease Control guidelines on mask wearing as a reason to be vaccinated.
“Go get the shot. It’s never been easier,” Biden said in brief remarks on the north side of the White House on Tuesday. Earlier, the Centers for Disease Control issued new guidelines, including an advisory that those who have been fully vaccinated could go maskless outdoors except for large gatherings. “This is another great reason to go get vaccinated — now,” Biden said. He said that 215 million shots have been administered, exceeding the administration’s goal for their first 100 days. But the White House faces a challenge in convincing a significant segment of the population that has been hesitant or resistant to the vaccine. Biden said that he will give more details next week on plans for getting Americans “closer to normal” on Independence Day.

“Earlier on Fox News Channel, I made some comments about that clip, you might have read about it, if not you could Google it,” the ex-director of Donald Trump’s National Economic Council said this afternoon early in his new show.

Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer’s “America’s Newsroom” tenure got off on the wrong foot — quite literally, in Perino’s case.
The Fox News anchor said she was so nervous this morning that she “put my shoes on the wrong feet.”
That’s not exactly a great start to the new gig. Watch Perino and Hemmer open the newly relaunched program via the video above.
Here is the footwear part of the duo’s opening banter:
Perino: But it was a big day for me too, right? So I came here right after I left the White House. I had the opportunity to work on the Daily Briefing as an anchor, but I’ve never had an opportunity like this and I’m thrilled. I will say it was a little bit like the first day of school feeling. So last night I was nervous. Right. And I had all those feelings.

Fox News Channel said Peter Doocy, a Washington-based correspondent at the cable-news network, would move to the White House beat, working alongside Kristin Fisher and filling a spot left vacant by John Roberts’ coming move to the anchor desk.
Doocy, whose father, Steve Doocy, is the co-anchor of the network’s “Fox & Friends” morning program, spent the 2020 election cycle covering President-elect Joe Biden, on occasion eliciting criticism from the man slated to take the reins of the Oval Office next week. After Doocy asked Biden a question about his son, Hunter Biden, who came under scrutiny during the campaign, the elder Biden called Doocy a “one-horse pony.”

Fox News Channel will revamp a significant chunk of its daytime schedule, and launch a new opinion program at 7 p.m., which previously housed the news-focused show, “The Story.”
As part of the changes, many of Fox News Channel’s best known daytime anchors will find themselves leading new time slots and shows. Harris Faulkner, who hosts two hours from noon to 2 p.m., will now anchor the 11 a.m. slot as well as her noon program, “Outnumbered.” Bill Hemmer, who took over a 3 p.m. slot previously anchored by Shepard Smith, will return to co-anchoring the network’s first two hours of news programming at 9 a.m. – and will be paired with Dana Perino. John Roberts and Sandra Smith will co-anchor two hours in the early afternoon. And Martha MacCallum will move to 3 p.m., the hour previously led by Hemmer.
A rotating group of Fox News opinion hosts will take over the 7 p.

CNN’s Brianna Keilar went after both the president and his enablers for their denial of reality and their blatant hypocritical reactions by not accepting the outcome of the election. The host compared their behavior to a “bad breakup,” by an “ex who just won’t accept that it’s over.”
“All right, let’s talk about what is happening right now here in Washington, D.C. A lame-duck president who won’t concede in the election he just lost. This isn’t the stuff of presidential elections. It’s...

Updated with latest: The Senate Judiciary Committee will continue its Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett on Wednesday at 9 a.m. Et/6 a.m. Pt at the Hart Senate Office Building at the U.S. Capitol. It is the third of four scheduled days of hearings by the Republican-led Senate panel to confirm Barrett, who is President Donald Trump’s selection to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the High Court.

Donald Trump’s rally in Henderson, Nv, didn’t get the kind of coverage that his most recent events have for one good reason: It was indoors, with many of his supporters not wearing masks and not socially distanced.
Out of health concerns, the major broadcast and cable networks kept their correspondents outside the rally.
“NBC News reporters did not go inside the rally and we will continue to follow and monitor prevailing public health guidelines regarding large indoor gatherings as we have since the start of the pandemic,” said a network spokesperson. An ABC News source said, “We do not go inside rallies.” Fox News’ Jonathan Hunt reported from outside the event.

Tuesday marked the 25th anniversary of Maria Bartiromo becoming the first reporter to broadcast from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and Fox News and Fox Business Network carried her virtual NYSE bell-ringing in simulcast.
She explained, at the time, there were “a handful of people who didn’t want me there, but the truth is, is the majority of people were so supportive and so wonderful to me.”
Bartiromo, who worked for CNBC at the time, explained to her Fox News colleagues that there is “so much camaraderie on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange” — which made it hard for her to break in. They became “like family,” in the end, she told Sandra Smith.

What was once a necessary novelty of the coronavirus crisis is now the new normal: Across broadcast and cable networks, anchors and reporters appearing on air from their homes in makeshift studios of hastily assembled backdrops and little if any crew. The need for these unusual arrangements was made ever clear on Tuesday, after CNN anchor Chris Cuomo announced he had tested positive for the coronavirus, and would be doing his nightly Cuomo Prime Time from the basement of his home — quarantined even from his family for the foreseeable future. But many more personalities, out of an abundance of caution, have set up shop in home basements, libraries, even hallways — a reality of new mandates among news organizations to separate their on-air talent and crews during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s created some unusual situations among some of the on-air personalities and their families. On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell...

Former interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile clapped back at Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel Tuesday, responding to her comment about the Democratic primary being “rigged” against Sen. Bernie Sanders.
In fact, Brazile told McDaniel to “go to hell.”
Earlier on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” McDaniel discussed the ongoing Super Tuesday voting and what the evening’s vote tallies will mean for remaining campaigns: “It does depend on how big a lead that Sanders takes out of California is, if he picks up a huge proportion of delegates. I don’t see anybody getting out soon and it’s leading towards, potentially, a brokered convention, which will be rigged against Bernie if those superdelegates have their way on that second vote.”

Bill Hemmer has for years helped boost some of the best-known personnel on Fox News Channel. Now he’s about to get his own spotlight.
Hemmer on Monday will take over Fox News’ 3 p.m. slot. That’s the time period previously anchored by Shepard Smith. The one that’s supposed to be the showcase for the network’s newsgathering operations. The one Smith left abruptly in October after sparring on-air with Tucker Carlson, one of the network’s primetime opinion hosts.
Hemmer isn’t sweating it. He expects his new show, “Bill Hemmer Reports,” to focus on the stories of the day and not on the opinions expressed around him. “My feeling is, I let them do what they do and they allow me to do what I do,” says the 55-year-old of the network’s primetime lineup in what people who know him say is his usual unflappable tone.

Fox News host Chris Wallace said on America’s Newsroom on Friday that the way President Donald Trump’s defenders have been spinning the whistleblower complaint is “astonishing” and “deeply misleading.”
“The spinning is not surprising, but it is astonishing and I think deeply misleading,” Wallace said. A source close to Wallace said he was not referring to his colleagues.
Wallace also noted that attacks on the whistleblower as a political hack are countered by what Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire said at a Thursday hearing. He said that the whistleblower “exactly followed the procedure that a whistleblower is supposed to follow,” Wallace said.

Jim Sciutto hasn’t been known as much of a morning person at CNN. Since joining the network in 2013, the national security reporter has been on hand to deliver news of major import about Russia’s efforts to hack the 2016 presidential election and issues related to America’s intelligence community.
Now he’s on the air every weekday at 9 a.m., co-hosting “CNN Newsroom” opposite Poppy Harlow. The issues are just as serious. “The breaking news now: CNN can report that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is expecting to be fired,” Sciutto informed viewers Sept. 24 — another whirlwind day of headlines in national politics.
