Piers Morgan slams Stephen Colbert after firing: 'Just a Democrat Campaign Puppet'
The TV personality told X on Sunday morning that most late-night shows are now just "hyper-partisan activist hacks" for the Left and that it's "no wonder" Stephen Colbert was fired. He also showed a front page of the New York Post that said, "No wonder he was fired, 'The Left Show With Stephen Colbert.'"
Morgan wrote: This is so damning. Most of America's biggest late-night hosts have become nothing more than hyper-partisan activist hacks for the Democrats - a party that's rarely been more unpopular. No wonder Colbert got canned. More will follow.

Morgan isn't the only TV expert who has spoken out against Stephen Colbert's firing. Also on Sunday, Jay Leno, the former host of "The Tonight Show," said that late-night hosts "cozy up" to one political party too often, which turns off some of their viewers.

By all means, allow me to say that I enjoy political jokes. That's what happens, though, when people get too close to one side or the other. David Trulio, president and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, talked to Leno about this. "Why always aim for half of the audience?" Why not try to get the whole thing? I mean, I like showing people how things fit into the bigger picture.
UPDATE: Just watched a drooling @60Minutes segment tonight about John Oliver who was proud of telling his viewers not to vote for Trump at last election. He told them to vote for Kamala Harris instead. That's not comedy, it's partisan political activism. https://t.co/8848FA7oy2 — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 28, 2025
The 17th of July brought the news that the end of the "Late Show" would be for all of its versions, not just Stephen Colbert's. CBS said the move was a "financial decision," but some people have thought it was to make the FCC happy because CBS' parent company, Paramount, and Skydance are about to merge.

Pope Leo enjoys a bite of America: Famous Chicago Pizza reaches the Vatican
Published August 3rd, 2025 - 07:33 GMT ALBAWABA - Pope Leo XIV has received a special gift that reminded him of his hometown, Chicago, while he was in the Vatican on Wednesday. A video circulated on social media showing Pope Leo riding in a vehicle, making his way through a crowd, but he stopped to get a pizza box. In the footage, the Pope was inside his Vatican car when he stopped after spotting a familiar pizza box with the restaurant's logo reading "Aurelio's Pizza". — Chito & Bob (@danthelions_) August 1, 2025 Madeline Daley, 22, from Cincinnati, Ohio, made all the way from the United States to deliver the pizza, and shared the clip with NBC News. "When Pope Leo came around, he kept grabbing babies to bless them, but as soon as he saw the pizza, he had babies in his hand, but he's still saying, like, 'Get me that pizza, I want that pizza,'" she said in a video interview. It is worth noting that Pope Leo XIV got a pie from Aurelio's, a Chicagoland pie which is the former Cardinal Robert Prevost's favorite treat. Pope Leo is the first American leader of the world's Catholics. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

U.S. Senate confirms Jeanine Pirro as top federal prosecutor for D.C.
Ammon News - The U.S. Senate on Saturday confirmed former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia in a 50-45 vote along party lines. The 74-year-old Trump loyalist previously served as a judge and prosecutor in Westchester County, New York and has been interim U.S. attorney since May. Trump yanked Martin's nomination after a key Republican senator said he could not support him due to Martin's outspoken support for rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Martin now serves as the Justice Department's pardon attorney. Last month, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to send Pirro's nomination to the Senate floor after Democrats walked out to protest Emil Bove's nomination to become a federal appeals court judge. Pirro, a 1975 graduate of Albany Law School, has significantly more courtroom experience than Martin, who had never served as a prosecutor or tried a case before taking office in January. She was elected as a judge in New York's Westchester County Court in 1990 before serving three terms as the county's elected district attorney.

How much did Matt Rife buy 'The Conjuring' house and Annabelle for?
ALBAWABA - Popular American comedian Matt Rife has gone viral on social media after revealing that he and YouTuber Elton Castee purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and its museum, best known for its appearance in the award-winning horror franchise, The Conjuring. The horror franchise also introduced the audience to a specific possessed doll called Annabelle, which Rife also acquired with the purchase. This sparked concern on social media among fans who watched the horrifying franchise, and while exaggerated in the movies, the Warren family and Annabelle did exist in real life. Paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren passed away in 2019 at 92, while her husband, Ed Warren, passed away in 2006 at 76. Concerns erupted due to recent news that a paranormal researcher named Dan Rivera died on tour while in possession of the demonic Annabelle doll in July. Rivera passed away inside a hotel room in Pennsylvania, as local police ruled out his death as "natural," calling no foul play after investigating.
