Pro-Trump Hicks Equity Partners Seeks to Raise $200 Million for Fox News Rival, Tried to Buy Newsmax
Allies of Donald Trump are continuing plans to create a far-right news network that can rival Fox News, and they have eyed Newsmax as a potential foundation. According to the Wall Street Journal, Hicks Equity Partners, a firm connected to the Republican National Committee, is looking to raise $200 million for a potential pro-Trump news network. As part of their plans, Hicks Equity would invest in Newsmax to develop it into a major cable news and video streaming news network. Since the election earlier this month, Newsmax has seen a notable increase in viewers, as it has supported Trump’s unsubstantiated…

Chadwick Boseman’s Sad but Stirring 2020 Is On Track to Make Oscar History
Only eight actors in history have been nominated for Oscars posthumously. Only 12 actors have been nominated twice in the same year. Chadwick Boseman, sadly, could make history this Oscar season by winding up on both of those lists. The actor, who died in August of this year after a battle with colon cancer that he hadn’t publicly disclosed, has been considered a solid Best Supporting Actor contender for months for his role in Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods.” And with initial press screenings of George C. Wolfe’s Broadway adaptation “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” taking place this week, Boseman makes…

Tucker Carlson: America Is ‘the Nicest Country in the World’ Because ‘We Don’t Eat Dogs’ (Video)
$bp(“Brid_05335469”, {“id”:”21259″,”width”:”618″,”height”:”412″,”video”:”678545″}); It’s pretty normal for Tucker Carlson to spend a segment during a Friday night episode talking about something other than the current political situation, though he certainly doesn’t usually do it during the opening segment — lately he’s been more about talking about aliens at the end of the show. But this this Friday he tried something new. “There is a huge amount going on right now, as you know. Really a torrent of news, historic amounts. To begin tonight, we are going to ignore all of it. We’ve never done that before. This is a news show,…

‘Monsoon’ Film Review: Henry Golding’s Journey Through Vietnam Is Misty, Not Stormy
The title “Monsoon” implies a furious deluge of sorts, but there’s nothing overly dramatic on the face of writer-director Hong Khaou’s film of that name. The film feels like more of a gentle, melancholy rain, accompanied by a mist that makes things indistinct and foggy. Emotionally, the thunder may be there beneath the surface, but it’s well hidden by characters who’d rather quietly search than scream for answers. And the film is elusive as well. Khaou, six years after his debut feature “Lilting,” has made another drama that crosses cultures and looks for home and family in the gentlest of…

Colbert: Trump Is ‘Like a Toddler Too Hopped Up on Sugar to Go to Bed’ With Bogus Fraud Claims (Video)
While the network late night hosts did revel in Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump for a minute earlier this week, we’re now back to how things were before thanks to Trump’s ongoing attempts to stay on as an un-elected president. As Stephen Colbert put it during his “Late Show” monologue on Wednesday night, “getting this guy out of office is gonna be a bumpy ride.” “It has been five days since it became clear that Joe Biden won the election, at which point the current president refused to concede, duct taped himself to the Resolute Desk, and slapped a…
