GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson insisted that the highly transmissible variant is just a trick to "push" midterm mail-in ballots.

"The Murdochs and Tucker Carlson, their primetime pyromaniac, appear to be hell-bent on dragging this country into a civil war," Acosta said.

President Biden is the first sitting president to commemorate Indigenous Peoples' Day with a proclamation, in addition to recognizing October 11th as Columbus Day. Shaun Chapoose, tribal chairman of the Ute Tribe, joins CBSN's Tanya Rivero to discuss the significance of the day.

Democrats in Congress are facing growing pressure to pass President Biden's social spending bill, but new polling shows that many Americans are still unsure of the plan's specifics. CBS News elections and surveys director Anthony Salvanto joins "CBSN AM" to break down the latest information.

Taiwan will not bow to pressure by Beijing and will defend its democratic way of life, President Tsai Ing-wen said Sunday, following a spike in incursions by Chinese warplanes into its air defence zone.

"He is admitting that his election lies are ego juice, just there to pump up the crowd, the very stuff that fueled the insurrection," the anchor said.

Chris Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said Republicans are leading the "constant erosion of confidence in the elect- the electoral system."

Congressman Adam Schiff, who is on the January 6 select committee, said he wants to "sound the alarm that our democracy is hanging on by a thread."

CNNAndrew Yang might be pitching himself as the guy to head up a new, more “inclusive” third party, but Jim Acosta had some questions about the entrepreneur-turned-politician’s methods during a CNN interview on Saturday afternoon. Specifically, he asked Yang to answer for his decision to appear on Tucker Carlson Today.“Tucker Carlson... I mean, let’s just say he’s a bad person,” Acosta told Yang. “And he represents so much of what is wrong in television news these days. You know this all too wel

Chris Stirewalt, who claims he lost his job for calling Arizona for Joe Biden, said the audit was a bid to "to undermine voter confidence."

Boris Sanchez is also moving from the White House to a weekend anchor role, co-hosting the morning show with Christi Paul. The schedule changes will take effect in April, CNN said on Wednesday.

Trump's lawyers fully embraced a TikTok defense on Friday, using manipulated video to complain about manipulated video and relying on rapid-fire, repetitive imagery. “The only question one might have is whether they repeated that effectiveness too much.”They also left room for a line of attack for Trump's lawyers. Trump's team found video of participants in the impeachment trial calling past elections into question, even digging back to find a 2005 speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In a trial without witnesses, the House managers relied heavily on media reports and interviews. Ultimately, it was a fully modern impeachment trial, with hours spent in video editing rooms likely rivaling the time spent with lawyers.

Both Fox and CNN announced schedule changes on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021. Both Fox and CNN announced lineup changes Monday, as is often the case for news organizations with a new president about to take power. For years, first with Shepard Smith and then with MacCallum, Fox has stressed news instead of opinion in that hour. In fact, Newsmax issued a statement that its improved daytime and 7 p.m. ratings since the election has triggered changes at Fox. Since the election, CNN has averaged 1.92 million viewers in those daytime hours, with Fox and MSNBC both at 1.53 million.

A conservative social media user whose far-right memes have been praised and reposted by President Donald Trump has been kicked off Twitter for repeated copyright violations. In a statement posted online, however, he denied violating Twitter's copyright rules and said he is being censored. Cook's account has been temporarily suspended multiple times in the past for violations of Twitter's copyright rules. Twitter rules prohibit Cook from creating a new account to replace the old one, which had more than 270,000 followers at the time of the suspension. Trump has himself run afoul of Twitter's rules.

Reporters Alcindor, Weijia Jiang and Kaitlan Collins have faced hostility from Trump at news conferences with stoicism. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, FIle)NEW YORK To anyone who's watched, there's more that binds Yamiche Alcindor, Kaitlan Collins and Weijia Jiang than an impromptu display of teamwork at a recent White House news conference. Each reporter has a knack for getting under President Donald Trump's skin and an equal ability not to let it knock them off stride. Trump has reacted to questions by Alcindor, Collins and Jiang by calling them nasty or racist, and effectively telling the journalists to pipe down. This president doesn't live by those rules.Jiang, Collins and Alcindor aren't the only reporters to tangle with Trump.

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign sued CNN on Friday for libel, following similar lawsuits against The New York Times and The Washington Post. In a statement announcing the suit, Trump campaign senior legal advisor Jenna Ellis called that claim "100 percent false and defamatory." The Trump campaign lawsuit says that there is "extensive evidence" of bias against the president from both Noble and CNN. The suit claims that the president's legal team asked CNN to retract the article in February, and that CNN declined to do so. The Trump campaign in recent weeks has filed similar lawsuits against The New York Times and The Washington Post over alleged defamation contained in opinion articles.
