The days of the legacy media are numbered, and Piers Morgan is here for it. “Generally speaking, people no longer perceive CNN as the voice that people go to for utterly impartial news coverage, and that is a shame for the brand,” Morgan tells Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report.” “They’ve got an identity struggle, which is ironic given how much they bang on about identities,” he adds. “Do you think it matters anymore in a certain respect whether CNN or anything from the mainstream media survives?” Rubin asks. “I know we’re all going off into our own little corridor, and there’s some danger there, but does it really matter whether the New York Times or Washington Post or CNN survive this thing?” Morgan doesn’t believe it matters in the slightest. “It’ll be like every jungle, survival of the fittest,” he tells Rubin, adding that none of his sons — who are 31, 27, and 23 — watch legacy media. “None of them watch linear television. If they do, they do it through the YouTube app. I read the other day that 10% of American television watchers who have a TV set, a smart TV, they watch television through the YouTube app. And only 23% watch network television on their smart TV,” Morgan explains. “In five years' time, YouTube is highly likely to be the number one thing that people use as an app on their smart TV,” he adds.

Cornell University took a hard line against anti-Israel rioters in a statement about a protest that disrupted a career fair at the college campus in Ithaca, New York. The Cornell Coalition for Mutual Liberation took responsibility for the demonstration Wednesday meant to prevent college students from getting hired at defense companies involved in the Israel war on Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip. 'This behavior is unacceptable, a violation of university policy, and illegal.' “We are stopping Cornell University students from going to jobs in genocide. The Coalition for Mutual Liberation would view that as a success,” said CML spokesperson Yihun Stith. According to a statement from Cornell and videos available on social media, the protest grew violent and intimidating to attendees at the fair. "Cornell Police officers were pushed and shoved. Guests of the university felt threatened. And students were denied their ability to experience the Career Fair," read a statement from Joel Malina, the vice president for university relations. "This behavior is unacceptable, a violation of university policy, and illegal," he added. Malina went on to say that Cornell police were working to identify the students involved and they could face suspension as a consequence, while faculty and staff involved would be referred to human resources. "These individuals will also be subject to potential criminal charges," Malina added. Stith said the protesters had been nonviolent and claimed that “no immense cop interaction happened.”In 2023, a Cornell professor told the board of trustees that faculty there was "extremely anti-Israel" and called on the board to discontinue its efforts to implement DEI policies that could worsen extremism on campus.

Author J.K. Rowling — who has become a favorite target of leftists who attack her for speaking out against the transgender agenda — just issued the perfect response to a woke keyboard warrior who told the author on X, "My kids and I enjoyed burning your books."That wasn't all the leftist detractor said. While Rowling blotted out the individual's information in the post, leaving only the user's rainbow emoji and the date and time of the post, she included the full message."You are a stupid and horrible woman," the individual declared. "My kids and I enjoyed burning your books and roasting marshmallows over your pathetic books."Rowling also is known for her cutting wit amid such sociopolitical dustups, and she didn't disappoint here: "I get the same royalties whether you read them or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows!" Rowling added a blow-a-kiss emoji for good measure.Rowling — who boasts over 14 million followers on X — has received over 50,000 likes in an hour (and counting) for her retort. The following are but a handful of them:"Aren’t book burners the bad guys in pretty much every history book ever?" one commenter wondered — after which Rowling responded, "And every last one of them believed they were on the right side of history.""This clap back is glorious," another commenter declared."Ahhh the layers of burn in this tweet [are] pretty epic," another commenter observed."These attacks aren’t coming from smart people," another user noted. "Smart people would realize considering opinions that differ from your own is how you get smarter.""Wait a minute. The books are great. This is an objective fact. No amount of hatred for you can change that," another commenter observed. "Just like no amount of hormones can change a man into a woman.""No words to express how much I admire J.K. Rowling," another user stated.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that Advanced Voice Mode (AVM) will be rolling out to all Plus and Team users this week. If you pay for a Plus or Team subscription, you'll see a notification in the ChatGPT mobile app as soon as you have access. As the company showcased in a video previewing the feature, Advanced Voice also has a fresh design. Now, when you tap on the voice button in the app, an animated blue circle will appear in the center of the screen that pulses as it listens and speaks: https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/1838642444365369814 Beyond the new look, Advanced Voice is capable of reacting appropriately to different emotions and interruptions, using memory and custom instructions to inform responses, and offering five new voices that weren't previously available. The five new voices are named Arbor, Maple, Sol, Spruce, and Vale—some of which we saw in a leak earlier this month. They join Breeze, Juniper, Cove, and Ember, bringing the total to nine. Of course, Advanced Voice does not include the Sky voice after Scarlett Johannson threatened to sue OpenAI for using her voice without permission. In a video beneath the announcement on social media, OpenAI explained that Advanced Voice Mode has improved in a number of areas, like "conversational speed, smoothness, and accents in select foreign languages." https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/1838642451399217361 Finally, OpenAI notes that Advanced Voice is not yet available in the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, or Liechtenstein.

Measuring 15.8 cm (6.2 inches) in length, 9.5 cm (3.7 inches) in width, and 3 cm (1.2 inches) in thickness, this stunning artifact is one of over 100 jade items recently recovered from the site, marking a momentous occasion in the study of this Neolithic civilization.
