Former NBA player and conservative commentator Charles Barkley is set to host a new talk show, called “King Charles,” on CNN. The move has generated significant interest and skepticism from industry insiders, particularly given CNN’s struggles in recent years.

While Barkley remains committed to his existing roles, including NBA TV and TNT, the 10-year, $100 million contract he signed in 2022 has made him a hot commodity. Barkley hopes the show will be more successful than the ill-fated Titanic, as CNN searches for a new CEO and a path to future success.

Even “People’s Pundit” Rich Baris had accused Rivera of being willing to sell out his own mother for Trump. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow also raised questions about the Justice Department’s motivations in Trump’s indictment. The far-reaching implications of this proposal have exposed the deep divisions within the country and raise questions about political maneuvering and the sanctity of the electoral process.

The Supreme Court’s affirmative action deliberations are sparking a debate about fairness in college admissions. Fox News contributor Leo Terrell spoke out against affirmative action, arguing that the outdated policy has no place in modern America.
