Was lovely too to hear Wolf congratulate them all on their new positions/promotion and highlight that it was their first ‘live hit’ in their new roles - felt sweet without being too sickly.

Have to say they’ve made good choices with those main White House roles - Kaitlin Collins and in particular Phil Mattingly are very much rising stars.


I admit, I'm surprised that Kaitlan previously working in Tucker Carlson's godawful website.



Well she has a few more skeletons in her closet....

Michelle made that in reference to her and Barack and their family. Nothing about the media. You overreaching a bit there.

I understood it related to Democrats in general.

Anyway, it's about being classy and I think Jake Tapper has been a bit disappointing today. Taking every opportunity to be petty and keep bashing Trump (almost bitter) with many personal remarks today, and I think it's inappropriately partisan on a momentous day. He's whining that Trump isn't attending, but would equally be whining if he had turned up.

He could easily save it up for any other night of the week. I think it detracts from what should just be treated as a historical day.



At least he didn't make fun of any disabled veterans today. #classy

Of course, he didn't make fun of a disabled veteran, he questioned whether someone who in fact had both of their legs blown off while fighting for democracy elsewhere in the world, cared to the same extent of democracy in the country he calls home.

Regardless, Rep. Mast was more than happy to use the remark to try and raise funds from his supporters (https://fxn.ws/39KHplu) #classy

Of course, associating yourself with Tucker Carlson, you'll gonna eventually say or tweet something you'll regret. I wonder how much copium the Fox News primetime block is inhaling right now? My pay TV provider has just removed the channel on our lineup.

In her defence, she would have been quite young, looking for her big career break and Carlson and his website was the one that offered it to her. Who wouldn't take up an opportunity like that?

Kaitlan Collins aside, I did flick over to see Tucker breathlessly claiming the Democrats are about to start a domestic war. I don't think you're missing much not having Fox available.

Jeezus, it's just stutter. When I was a kid, I also stutter at times! Fox News needs to hire more journalists, not firing more.

Speaking of travelling, Pete Muntean is now credited as CNN Aviation Correspondent. I assume Richard Quest is just handling CNN Business, as well as stuff on CNNI?


Quest will always be their go to Aviation Correspondent as will Rene Marsh when she returns to work. I'm guessing Pete Muntean is an addition to the team.

Looks like CNN International is using the direct feed to CNN USA again, instead of the raw feed without the other on-screen graphics.
