We report, you decide: 21st Century Fox Inc. executives vowed Thursday to keep the “unique and important voice” of No. 1-rated Fox News following the ouster of co-founder Roger Ailes last month.
However, there was no word on whether they’ll retain another important Fox characteristic under Ailes: short hemlines on female employees.
Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: With the Summer Olympics opening today in Rio de Janeiro, the Hallmark Channel is airing a cutesy tie-in, “Kitten Summer Games,” in which adorable felines compete, presumably in events such as shredding the new curtains.
Controversy unfortunately intrudes when the Russian kittens are caught doping with performance-enhancing catnip.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1966, the Beatles released “Revolver,” which music critics generally regard as the greatest rock album ever made.
Critics can’t agree, however, on which drug played a greater role in the making of the record: marijuana or LSD.
