  • Megyn Kelly Decides To Interview Alex Jones Amid Chaos

    Megyn Kelly Decides To Interview Alex Jones Amid Chaos

    NBC is defending Megyn Kelly’s decision to interview Alex Jones despite the public calls to abscond the show. Most of the relatives of the victims who lost their lives during the 2012 Sandy Hook shootings have decided to embarrass Kelly on Twitter but NBC has decided to defend her.

    NBC plans to air the full interview on Sunday and one of the show executive producers is pleading with people to withhold their judgment until the interview is over. People are being urged to give it a chance so that they can air their views only after watching the whole program in its full context.

    Kelly has also tried to defend her upcoming show despite the criticism that people are taking on Alex Jones. Some people have raised concern that Kelly is giving a podium to a conspiracy theorist who had earlier referred to the 2012 massacre, which occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School as a ‘hoax’.

    Most people feel that giving Jones a platform would mean he is unchallenged by any means. Some people are also questioning the source of his theories and information. Jones has been influential in the social media, and his radio show reaches millions of fans. His own website, the Infowars.com attracts more than five million new visitors each month.

    To most people, Jones remarks on the Sandy Hook massacre are not only unjustifiable but also careless, distasteful and downright strange. Jones also presumes that the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers was an ‘internal plan’ and that people tend to create the ‘animal-human hybrids’ hence no one can be trusted.

    Jones has been portrayed as one of the controversial public figures though it would be good to give him a chance for the interview. According to NBC, it’s necessary to interview any potential newsmakers and influential people regardless of their perspectives on life in general.

    Though the affected people who lost their loved ones called Kelly to cancel the interview, it’s likely that with the support from NBC and other key people in the society, the interview could go ahead as planned.

  • Delta Pulls Funding For ‘Julius Caesar’ Theater

    Delta Pulls Funding For ‘Julius Caesar’ Theater

    Delta Airlines and Bank of America announced to withdraw their financial support for the ‘Julius Caesar’ plays that has sparked controversy over the responsibility of the corporate sponsors involved in the public theater acts. The New York theater production that engages Julius Caesar as the Trump-esque edition of the ruined Roman statesman portrayed a bad picture of the sitting president.

    Some people have condemned the theater terming it as wicked and morally wrong. The principal corporate donors also expressed their disapproval of the theater stating that regardless of ones political viewpoints, the theater has not reflected their ethics and values. However, some game players reacted negatively against the sponsors’ decision.

    Beau Willimon, a creator and playwright at ‘House of Cards’ expressed his disappointments in both Delta and Bank of America. He claims that they should support the freedom of thought and expression for all people and not punish the company. By doing that, they are encouraging a culture of fear among the Americans.

    Though Delta has withdrawn its financial support for the New York Theater firm that has portrayed Julius Caesar President Trump, the airline did not consider pulling its funding from another theater that depicted a similar scenario and same role. But the only difference between the two plays is that the other theater illustrated the then President Barack Obama in 2012.

    For a long time, Delta has generously supported the Guthrie Theater, which produced ‘Julius Caesar as the Obama in 2011 to 2012 period. Delta continues to be listed as the company’s corporate sponsor on their website donating between $100,000-$249,000 every year.

    The recent controversy about the New York Public Theater production ignited reactions that went viral on the social media podiums as people pointed out the dissimilarities between the current chaos and lack of argument in 2012 episode.

    Donald Trump Jr. reacted to the story by tweeting criticism and questioned whether the theater was funded by the tax-payers money. The pressure from all corners, especially from the current government, might have pushed the corporate sponsors to take the decision of withdrawing their sponsorship just to save their face. The people of United States of America need to understand that President Trump is different.

  • Jennifer Lawrence Came Out Unscratched From An Emergency Landing Of Her Private Jet

    Jennifer Lawrence Came Out Unscratched From An Emergency Landing Of Her Private Jet

    On a flight from her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, Jennifer Lawrence was forced to make an emergency landing. According to her representatives, the plane’s engines failed while they were at 31,000 feet, which was mid-flight. The pilots had no choice other than to land at Buffalo Niagara International Airport in New York. Apparently, the second engine also failed during the unprepared landing.

    The Hunger Games actress was visiting her family when the incidence occurred and was heading to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Nonetheless, reports have it that neither the Oscar Winner nor the pilots were hurt. However, it still unclear how many passengers were on the plane given that FAA hardly releases the names of passengers but it has promised to look into the matter.

    Sneak peek into the life of the star

    Lawrence has been in the entertainment industry for the longest while keeping a low profile. Before visiting her family, Lawrence had just completed the filming of a spy thriller Red Sparrow. The 26-year-old had been shooting on location in various countries the likes of Hungary, Austria, and Slovakia having teamed up with ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence.

    However, speculations have it that she is soon hitting the limelight with her physiological thriller/horror Mother. Lawrence is rumored to be dating the 48year old Darren Aronofsky who is also said to have written and directed the thriller.

    But she has no apology for her strip club fun

    Lawrence says he does not owe anyone an apology over her strip club fun. Through a video from the strip club, which was published by Radar Online the actress is reported to have been crawling on her fours around the stage and while just in her bra. The report further outlines that she was drunk.

    However, in a cheeky statement through Facebook, Lawrence says, “It was one of my best friend’s birthdays and I dropped my paranoia guard for one second to have fun.”

  • Bank of America And Delta Air Lines Withdraw Their Support For The New York’s Public Theater

    Bank of America And Delta Air Lines Withdraw Their Support For The New York’s Public Theater

    It was quite frustrating for New York’s Public Theater to lose two major corporate donors that had been earlier drumming up support for it. These were Bank of America Corp (BAC) and Delta Air Lines, Inc (DAL). There had been much criticism in line with the production of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” which according to sources had been portraying the assassination of a Trump-like Roman ruler.

    The criticism online has been raging for over some time now, and it is the reason the top provider chose to settle for its recent decision.

    On Sunday, Donald Trump Jr, who happens to be the son of the president, was seemingly questioning funding sources of the theater through twitter. In making its report on Sunday night, the provider said, “No matter what your political stance may be, the graphic staging of ‘Julius Caesar’ at this summer’s Free Shakespeare in the Park does not reflect Delta Air Lines’ values.”

    The company also added that both the artistic and creative direction had reached a point of crossing lines on the standards of good taste. It was in this regard that they made the step to actually give the notification in regards to the decision to end the sponsorship as the official airline of the Public Theater, with immediate effect.

    A similar move by the Bank of America took place some hours later. The company cited that it was going to withdraw its financial support from the production of “Julius Caesar.” However, it made it clear that it would in no way end its financial relationship with the theater.

    Susan Atran, who happens to be the provider’s spokeswoman, outlined that it had been ongoing for about 11 years.

    From the outlook, the Public Theater seems to have been presented in a rather offensive and provocative manner. Ms. Atran insisted that things would have turned out differently if they had been made aware of this particular intention. The company would have made the appropriate move of declining to sponsor it. She added that indeed they were going to withdraw their sponsorship with immediate effect.

  • Mixed Reactions Pop Up Following The Firing Of CNN Host Reza Aslan

    Mixed Reactions Pop Up Following The Firing Of CNN Host Reza Aslan

    THEHILL.COM has made the announcement that Sean Hannity of Fox News on Friday made the move to defend Reza Aslan. Sean is said to have defended the former CNN host after blatantly calling President Trump “a piece of s—.”He thinks that it was the wrong move for Trump to have fired him considering that he had moved ahead to apologize.

    This recent development is shifting attention to Reza with a lot of people globally now looking at the matter in detail. In making a statement to his followers, Hannity wrote, “Reza calling the @POTUS a POS is bad form. Calling me the same fair game. I do not think you should be fired. You apologized.”

    A lot has been happening recently with Trump and it goes without saying that this recent move may shake the confidence of a large number of Americans on Trump as their president.

    According to reports, CNN will not continue with the production on the acquired series ‘Believer with Reza Aslan.’ However, the platform through a statement wished Reza together with his production team good luck in their endeavor. It was obvious CNN preferred distancing itself from the matter for reasons best known to it.

    Aslan owes his roots to Iran, and this time around he was the host of CNN’s “Believer” which has always been aired out on a weekly basis on Sunday nights. The 45-year-old religious scholar who is at the same time a top-notch author is said to have proceeded to call President Trump a “man baby” in a tweet. Truth be said, in as much as Trump might have his own weaknesses, most of the Americans saw this as rather extreme and disrespectful to Trump and the presidency.

    Other sources indicate that the tweet was in response to the move by NBC News which is said to have deliberately ignored reporting about Trump sharing a Drudge Report tweet reporting the terrors attacks that recently took place in, on the basis it included unconfirmed details at that particular moment. Aslan remains remorseful and believes he should have chosen his words more wisely.

  • Expected Outcome From Bill Cosby’s Day 5 Trial

    Expected Outcome From Bill Cosby’s Day 5 Trial

    The sexual assault trial for Bill Cosby is coming to an end as the prosecution calms down. It would take about a day for the defense team to present its views on the trial. The attorney’s office from the Montgomery County district has already presented the case and this is expected to draw attention to Cosby’s acceptance of the testimony that he gave Quaaludes pills to women in exchange for sex.

    The accuser, in this case, Andrea Constand, testifies that Mr. Cosby drugged and assaulted her sexually at his house in the outskirts of Philadelphia in the year 2004. During the fifth trial, one of the expert witnesses is likely to testify that the complainant description looks like she felt as someone who had taken a strong substance the like of Quaalude pill.

    The Cosby’s defense team is likely to reveal that he only gave Constand Benadryl and the decision was to augment the sexual encounter and improve their romantic relationship. Cosby would likely not give his testimony on the same and it’s not clear what else the defense team is preparing to testify.

    Cosby has at one time admitted having enjoyed a sexual encounter with Constand when she was working at the Temple University for quite some time before she came out with the assault accusations. Cosby testified that Constand at some point wanted to tighten up her butt and acquire a better one and Cosby was more willing to help her.

    Cosby also gave evidence that Constand never at any point stopped him from touching her sexy boy and hence he continued to advance his moves on her. Constand only ordered him to stop which he complied fully. The relationship went on uninterrupted afterwards.

    On the fourth trial day, Cosby came with another comedian Joe Torry. The actor gave the lengthy explanation about the romance in his own understanding and at some point revealed that sometimes there is no formula on how to approach a woman for sex. It comes automatically and this could be the likely case for Cosby and Constand
