A federal judge tapped by former President Barack Obama ruled on Thursday to hold veteran investigative journalist Catherine Herridge in civil contempt for refusing to reveal who her source was for a series of reports about a Chinese scientist working at an American university who was under FBI criminal investigation. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper imposed a fine of $800 per day — nearly $300‚000 per year — until Herridge reveals who her source was for the stories that she wrote while at Fox News. “Herridge and many of her colleagues in the journalism community may disagree with that decision and prefer that a different balance be struck‚ but she is not permitted to flout a federal court’s order with impunity‚” Cooper wrote. Cooper said that Herridge‚ who is widely respected for being impartial and pursuing stories that many in the mainstream media ignore‚ must reveal how she learned about the federal investigation‚ which centered around learning whether the Chinese scientist lied about her military service and if her school’s student database could be accessed by the Chinese.

Fox News blasted the ruling in a statement late on Thursday: “Holding a journalist in contempt for protecting a confidential source has a deeply chilling effect on journalism. Fox News Media remains committed to protecting the rights of a free press and freedom of speech and believes this decision should be appealed.” Related: CBS Seized Confidential Files From Fired Reporter Who Was Pursuing Hunter Biden Story

There’s so much to love about taking a ride on a boat. One of the perks is feeling more in touch with the surrounding nature. But when two friends in Florida decided to adventure out into nearby water‚ they never would have guessed they’d get this close to nature! By the time they were over 20 miles from shore‚ they noticed an uninvited owl friend had decided to join their boat ride. As soon as they spotted him‚ one of the young men began to record this unexpected moment on camera. In the video‚ we can see that the mast isn’t the safest or most stable place for the poor creature to rest. Luckily‚ this owl managed to land on just the right boat! @paigegaldieri My brother and his friend were fishing 20+ miles off shore and an owl landed on their boat. He doesnt have tiktok‚ but i knew tiktok would LOVE this!!! #animalrescue #owls #funnyanimals ♬ Hey Lover – The Daughters Of Eve Footage of their rescue mission was shared by Paige Galdieri‚ a sister of one of the young men on the boat. In the caption of her video she notes that‚ although her brother doesn’t have TikTok‚ she’s sharing it because “I knew TikTok would LOVE this!!!” Lost Owl Finds Safety From Two Friends on a Boat And right she was — folks are loving this wholesome rescue! Although it’s hard to imagine how these friends managed to get this owl to cooperate‚ they pull it off somehow because in the next clip‚ they have the bird wrapped in a blanket. TikTok This sweet owl must be grateful for their rescuers‚ because they seem to not put up a fight. Instead‚ they simply rest in the human’s lap‚ waiting to get back to shore. Once they do‚ though‚ this bird is ready to fly back home! “Free bird!” the friends scream as their feathered friend flies away‚ later captioning the video‚ “Bye buddy.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Cancel culture ain’t what it used to be‚ but it’s still a sizable force in the West.We’re seeing that in real time‚ and it’s impacting singers‚ comedians‚ and authors alike. Part of this toxic trend stems from Hamas’ Oct. 7 slaughter of 1‚200 Israelis and the ensuing Middle East war. Hold the “wrong” opinion on the crisis and endure protesters eager to silence your points of view.Or worse.Most Hollywood stars have remained silent on both the Hamas atrocities perpetrated against Israel on Oct. 7 and the terrorist group’s ongoing hostage crisis.Comedians‚ who have suffered significantly from cancel culture’s wrath‚ still can’t tell their jokes their way.A Seattle-based comedy club proved just that.The Capitol Hill Comedy / Bar “un-booked” four prominent comedians earlier this month following pressure from “investors‚ local comedians‚ and neighborhood advocacy groups‚” according to club owner/booker Jes Anderson.The four in question — Kurt Metzger‚ Dave Smith‚ Jim Florentine‚ and Luis J. Gomez — didn’t say any one thing that sparked the cancellation. All could be described as “unwoke‚” a description that could apply to most stand-up comedians of yore‚ from Lenny Bruce to George Carlin.They say what they want to say without self-censoring their material.Metzger leaked Anderson’s rationale for dismissing the four comedians on social media. The note ended on a curious note.“We truly value the art of comedy and the diverse perspectives it brings to our lives.”The four comics took the dismissal more or less in stride. They also mocked it aggressively to their respective fan bases.Comedian Chrissie Mayr wouldn’t stand a chance at the Capitol Hill Comedy / Bar. She comically rages against woke overreach on stage and via her podcast. She also titled her 2023 comedy album “Live from January 6th.”So‚ it’s not shocking to learn someone allegedly attacked her following a Feb. 24 New Jersey club appearance. Mayr‚ who is eight months pregnant‚ says she got pepper-sprayed during a post-show meet-and-greet with fans.She emerged unhurt‚ but given her health status‚ that wasn’t guaranteed.Jewish musicians are also getting a taste of cancel culture‚ mixed with a dash of anti-Semitism.Harvard Chabad‚ a group of Jewish students at Harvard University‚ invited singer Ishay Ribo to play at the campus.Ribo‚ who has sold out Madison Square Garden‚ nearly didn’t get a chance to sing a single note. Staffers at the Sinclair‚ a Cambridge theater‚ boycotted the event. The club had to hire workers to ensure the show went on as scheduled.He had better luck than fellow Jewish musician Matisyahu.The singer suffered not one but two cancellations at the proverbial last minute in recent weeks — the Rialto Theatre in Tucson and Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. Matisyahu blamed the cancellations on his religious identity.“They do this because they are either anti-Semitic or have confused their empathy for the Palestinian people with hatred for someone like me who holds empathy for both Israelis and Palestinians‚” he wrote on X.The clubs blamed the cancellations on “safety concerns and staff shortages.”Veteran actor Brett Gelman of “Stranger Things” fame recently tried his hand at writing. Gelman planned a four-city tour to promote his first short stories tome‚ “The Terrifying Realm of the Possible: Nearly True Stories.”At least two of those bookstore appearances have been canceled.Stops in San Francisco and Winnetka‚ Illinois‚ were scrapped‚ he claimed‚ due to “harassment and intimidation from antisemitic and anti-Israel protesters.”Bill Petrocelli‚ the co-owner of the San Francisco store Book Passage‚ blamed the cancellation on “intemperate and ill-advised remarks that [Gelman] made against some other ethnic and social groups.”Petrocelli wouldn’t share the specific verbiage that triggered the cancellation.Late last year‚ Gelman teamed with the Israeli sketch comedy series “Eretz Nehederet” to mock anti-Israel university students.Most Hollywood stars have remained silent on both the Hamas atrocities perpetrated against Israel on Oct. 7 and the terrorist group’s ongoing hostage crisis.Not Michael Rapaport.The pro-Israel actor flexes his X account to slam Hamas and support Israel’s war against the terrorist group. That didn’t go over well with pro-Palestinian activists and Antifa. They raged against the actor-turned stand-up comedian outside of his Helium Comedy Club appearance in Portland on Jan. 12.The mob shot fireworks at the club and harassed patrons as they entered the building. The shows went on as scheduled despite the furious backlash.Unbowed‚ Rapaport recently joined with “Eretz Nehederet” to mock his fellow actors for refusing to speak out on the hostages' behalf. The sketch featured Rapaport hosting the upcoming Oscars telecast‚ using recent Academy Awards video clips to poke fun at Jewish stars like Seth Rogen for their silence.
