From Mark Zuckerberg to Elon Musk, the Palo Alto 'boys' club'
With his gentle smile, the "nice Zuck" delivered a line that stood out against his usually careful phrasing. The man whose progressive image has long obscured the fact that his first college project was a "Hot or Not"-style app comparing the looks of Harvard women, made a striking claim: "The masculine energy is good. Society has plenty of that, but I think corporate culture is really trying to get away from it. All these forms of energy are good, and I think having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more has its own merits."
Still, it was hard to see how Meta – where just 36% of employees are women and only four of 15 board members are female – could be suffering from a masculinity deficit. But that is the spirit of the times: Zuckerberg's new Trump-aligned allies believe society has become "neutered or emasculated," as he put it to Rogan. And he seemed eager to show them he was firmly on their side in this Battle of the Sexes.

Trump's media war: White House takes aim at South Park and Colbert
A simmering political war between the White House and the media has grown more fiery in recent weeks, with satire and political commentary caught directly in the crosshairs. From the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's Late Show to attacks on The View's Joy Behar, and now the latest controversy over South Park's explicit mockery of Donald Trump, the message is becoming harder to ignore: joke at the president's expense, and you may pay the price. South Park is the setting of the latest scrap. The animated show returned after two years for its 27th season with a typically explosive premiere showing a fully naked President Trump in bed, begging for sex with series regular Satan. Unlike the other characters, Trump is portrayed using a real photo of his face superimposed onto an animated body. His genitalia can be seen five times in total throughout the episode. The White House wasn't thrilled... 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' said White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers. 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history - and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.' At a Comic-Con International panel on Thursday, South Park co-creator Trey Parker offered a typically deadpan 'apology': 'We're terribly sorry,' he said simply, followed by a long, unblinking stare. Later on in the panel discussion, Parker revealed a behind-the-scenes disagreement with the network over whether or not to blur the President's private parts: 'They said, 'OK, but we're gonna blur the penis,' and I said, 'No you're not gonna blur the penis.'' The episode didn't just target Trump - it also aimed satire at Paramount, the studio that owns South Park and ironically with which Parker and Stone recently signed a massive five-year deal reportedly worth $1.5 billion. Specifically, it mocked the company's controversial $16 million settlement with Trump over his lawsuit against CBS' 60 Minutes. Trump had claimed the program selectively edited an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris to 'make her look better.' Colbert also called out his network's parent company for paying the settlement, labelling it a 'big fat bribe.' Days later, his show was cancelled, prompting Trump to post on Truth Social: "I absolutely love that Colbert was fired.' Paramount Global (which owns CBS, Comedy Central, and other networks) announced his show would be ending next May - a decision Colbert revealed on-air last week. It sparked immediate outrage among media figures and emotional tributes from fellow US late-night hosts. The Daily Show's Jon Stewart condemned the move, suggesting Paramount may have been trying to appease Trump amid its high-stakes $8 billion merger with Skydance Media - a deal that requires approval from the Trump-controlled Federal Communications Commission. CBS insists the cancellation was 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night' – and that it had nothing to do with content or performance. In a joint statement, senior executives called the show 'a staple of the nation's zeitgeist'. Meanwhile, another veteran of political television, The View's Joy Behar, has found herself in hot water with the White House. During a segment discussing Trump's claim that Barack Obama tried to lead a coup against him, Behar said: 'The thing about him is he's so jealous of Obama because Obama is everything that he is not: Trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it. It's driving him crazy.' The White House quickly fire back: 'Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,' a spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 'It's no surprise that The View's ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air.' Whether it's animated satire or late-night monologues, the White House's recent responses suggest a growing sensitivity to criticism - even when delivered through comedy. But as South Park reminded viewers this week, the penis will not be blurred.

US regulators let Skydance acquire Paramount Global
The clearance came with "written commitments" by Skydance to ensure the new company's news and entertainment programming "will embody a diversity of viewpoints across the political and ideological spectrum," according to Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr. Clearance of the acquisition follows about a week after the CBS network, a Paramount unit, said "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," a staple of late-night US television, will end in 2026. The comedian had blasted Paramount's $16 million settlement of a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump as "a big fat bribe" to win approval of the merger with Skydance. CBS said in a statement the cancellation was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," and was "not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Paramount reached the settlement with Trump this month in a lawsuit the entertainment giant had described as meritless. Trump had sued Paramount for $20 billion last year, alleging that CBS News' "60 Minutes" news program deceptively edited an interview with his 2024 election rival, Kamala Harris, in her favor. Colbert said on Thursday the cancellation was not just the end of his show but the end of the decades-old "Late Show" franchise, which has been broadcast continuously on CBS since 1993 and was previously hosted by David Letterman. Trump celebrated the cancellation, writing on his Truth Social platform, "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings." Trump's political opponents and other critics drew attention to the timing of the decision. "CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump -- a deal that looks like bribery," Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said on social media platform X. Colbert, once a regular on Comedy Central, made use of humor in his incisive political commentary and succeeded Letterman as the host of "The Late Show" in 2015.

White House lashes out at 'South Park' Trump parody
In a no-holds-barred season premiere, the animated Trump character is also seen begging Satan for sex, only to be rebuffed -- in part because his penis is too small. The White House was not amused. "This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," spokesperson Taylor Rogers said. "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history -- and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." The adult animated series, which frequently touches on hot-button issues in American life, is now in its 27th season and remains one of the world's most valuable TV shows. The season premiere begins with the foul-mouthed Cartman appalled that NPR has been taken off the air by the president, while Randy, a parent, is disturbed by the presence of Jesus in public elementary school. Complaints to the fictional White House receive only a threat from Trump to sue the mountain town of South Park for billions of dollars. Meanwhile, animated Trump is threatening to bomb Canada "like I did Iraq." "I thought you just bombed Iran," the Canadian prime minister replies. "Iran, Iraq, what the hell's the difference?" replies Trump. The episode, which sees the fictional Trump ride rough-shod over many aspects of American life, ends after the town of South Park makes a financial deal with the president that includes an agreement to make public service announcements. The AI generated short that follows -- ostensibly one of those announcements -- shows an overweight Trump staggering through a desert as a narrator casts him as a latter-day Jesus. The short ends with a naked Trump as the narrator says: "Trump. His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large." Merger The episode aired days after creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone reportedly penned a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount that gives the company global rights. The deal comes at a sensitive time for Paramount, which is trying to secure government approval for a multi-billion-dollar merger with entertainment company Skydance. The CBS parent caused a furor this month when it agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit Trump had brought over an interview the storied "60 Minutes" current affairs program aired with Kamala Harris ahead of last November's election. The payment was criticized by Democrats as little more than a bribe to help smooth the merger, with Paramount initially dismissing Trump's lawsuit as meritless. Last week CBS sparked fury after it cancelled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" whose host is a pointed critic of the president. The network insisted it was a financial decision, but opponents have painted the move as the latest example of American institutions bowing to Trump.
