Longtime co-host of CBS’s daytime panel show “The Talk,” Sharon Osbourne, is under fire over her comments towards her former co-hosts Julie Chen and Sara Gilbert. According to journalist Yashar Ali, Osbourne reportedly called former co-hosts racist and homophobic names.

Ali’s report states that Osbourne would frequently refer to Julie Chen, who is Chinese American, as “wonton” and “slanty eyes.” Meanwhile, Osbourne would allegedly make homophobic remarks towards Sara Gilbert, a former co-host and executive producer. Osbourne would reportedly call Gilbert, who is a lesbian, as “p—- licker” and “fish eater.”

Osbourne’s reported offensive remarks didn’t stop at Chen and Gilbert as she used Italian ethnic slurs towards her other former co-host Leah Remini.

Howard Bragman, Osbourne’s publicist, tried to stop contend the firestorm as he responded to the allegations.

“Sharon is disappointed but unfazed and hardly surprised by the lies, the recasting of history, and the bitterness coming out at this moment. She will survive this, as she always has, and her heart will remain open and good because she refuses to let others take her down.” “The Talk” is currently on hiatus after she and co-host Sheryl Underwood were in a heated exchange over Osbourne’s support for Piers Morgan.

Chris Wallace joined CNN’s “At This Hour” to discuss a New York Times article suggesting that President Joe Biden shouldn’t run again.

According to a transcript published on Breitbart, Wallace said Democrats don’t want Biden to run again in 2024 because of his age.

“I think 75%of Democrats say they would like to see another Democratic nominee for president in 2024,” said Biden.

Wallace said he’s witnessed farewells plenty of times, especially in the media, which he referred to as the gold watch sent off.

“Look; obviously, the success after a lot of stalemate, the success of the last month or so by Joe Biden is impressive, and it will change the narrative,” Wallace said. “We will be talking about everything he has accomplished.”

‘You know what, I’m excited by the idea of a guy who on next inauguration day would be 82 running for election again,’ I’m not so sure about that,” he added.

News Media Reacts to FBI Searching Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Resort

CNN reports that the former President corroborated the information that FBI agents were at Mar-a-Lago and stated, “they even broke into my safe.”

On Monday, news broke that the FBI executed a search warrant at former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

The search warrant is part of the inquiry into the handling of presidential documents, including classified documents, that Trump may have been brought there.

CNN reports that the former President corroborated the information that FBI agents were at Mar-a-Lago and stated, “they even broke into my safe.” He was at Trump Tower in New York when the search warrant occurred in Florida.

There’s plenty of reaction from both sides of the news media aisle, here’s what some had to say:

Would not be surprising if FBI deliberately scheduled execution of the search warrant for a time when Trump was out of town.

The FBI must be legally and formally dissolved.

What happened to President Trump is positively stunning and a mark of unchecked government power.

I no longer recognize the country I live in. Left or right, we must all come together to fight this evil.

This FBI raid on Donald Trump’s residence makes him far stronger. It confirms every allegation he’s made about the political nature of the DOJ & it looks wildly desperate. A failing president who knows he’s on track to be crushed desperately trying to take out his top rival.

The current director of the FBI who signed on the warrant and whose agents executed is a lifelong republican appointed by… TRUMP
— Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) August 9, 2022

We won’t know how fully insane the FBI raid on Trump is until we see the warrant and warrant application. But after Russiagate – years of investigation predicated largely on Clinton campaign misinformation — if the basis for this isn’t bedrock-solid, there should be hell to pay.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) August 9, 2022

Clearly nobody told Trump that you don’t keep important documents in safe. You keep them in a Crown Royal bag. FBI never would have found them.

No special counsel for Hunter’s cocaine, hookers, tax evasion, and selling of his dad’s office to China

But FBI raids former president Trump’s home looking for random documents

Seems legit
— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) August 8, 2022

The Director of the FBI is a lifelong Republican who was appointed by Trump.
Spin that you chub crackers.

If these snakes think the raid on Trump is going to somehow make his supporters turn against him, they are as STUPID as we thought! This is only going to cause the MAGA movement to dig in deeper. We see you and we see how slimy and disgusting you are trying to weaponize the FBI!
— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) August 8, 2022

Quite something to hear people who helped Donald Trump ACTUALLY stage an attempted coup to overthrow the US government to stay in power, say tonight that today’s FBI raid against Trump, is a coup attempt by Joe Biden to stay in power.

It’s always projection with these freaks.

FBI Assault on America: FBI took boxes from Trump's offices, the same corrupt agency that framed Gen.Flynn, tried to frame Trump with fake Steele Dossier, faked FISA documents. Now this. We are a nation in deep crisis tonight. Nothing will be the same again.#TheGreatAmericaShow

The FBI desecrated Trump's house, America. You think he's going to turn the other cheek? May God have mercy on the FBI…
— toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) August 9, 2022

Will Trump announce his 2024 run for the White House on an earlier timetable now that he’s been paid a visit by the FBI?

He will scream about yet another “witch hunt” and use it as a platform to campaign and fundraise.

He needs the POTUS office to protect against prosecution.

John Oliver Takes Dig at Parent Owner Warner Bros. Discovery

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav was also a leading force in canceling CNN’s venture into the streaming wars

Warner Bros. Discovery has made recent headlines for its decisions regarding HBO Max and canceling in-production films, including DC’s “Batgirl,” to get future tax write-offs.

During a segment discussing Monkeypox on Sunday, HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver decided to take a shot at their new parent company for its recent decisions.

“We let the vaccine sit unused on a shelf in our reserves like an expired Chobani or a $90 million movie on HBO Max,” Oliver said, referring to the “Batgirl” film.

“By the way, hi there, new business daddy! Seems like you’re doing a really great job. I do get the vague sense that you’re burning down my network for the insurance money, but I’m sure that will all pass.”

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav was also a leading force in canceling CNN’s venture into the streaming wars, pulling the plug on CNN+ less than a month after the service launched.

“On CNN+, there was no message it was a business decision,” Zaslav told CNBC in May. “We looked at it and we looked at the data, the number of users they had spent an enormous amount of money trying to sell an independent product.

“The subscribers weren’t there, the users weren’t there. We looked at it together. We had a chance to look at all the data and when we looked at the data, it was, the business wasn’t there.”
