San Francisco (AFP) - Donald Trump's media group said Tuesday it will launch a streaming television platform, but its shares continued to tumble on Wall Street. The announcement came as 77-year-old former US president Trump sat through a second day of jury selection in his historic criminal trial.

Los Angeles (AFP) - It was the car chase that brought a nation screeching to a halt. On June 17, 1994, a white Ford Bronco containing a fugitive O.J. Simpson led a convoy of police cars down southern California's freeways -- and 95 million Americans couldn't take their eyes off it. Coverage of massive sporting events like the NBA finals and US Open was interrupted with footage of the chase, while Domino's Pizza reported record delivery orders from viewers unwilling to miss a single moment. That moment captured by hovering TV helicopters and breathless newsmen, and broadcast around the world, ...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden released a TV spot Friday targeting voters of Nikki Haley, as he seeks to rebuild the coalition that won him the last election by wooing the moderates who preferred her to Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. The ad shows Trump -- the Republicans' 2024 standard-bearer -- repeatedly mocking the former UN ambassador and telling a reporter he can win without pursuing her supporters. "She's gone crazy. She's a very angry person," Trump is heard saying during the 30-second commercial, punctuated with social media posts in which the Republican claims ...

The agreement solidifies a turnaround for the annual Tinseltown gathering, which was taken off air entirely in 2022 after long-simmering rumors of corruption and scandal burst into the open. CBS carried this year's Globes, reportedly at a steeply discounted rate, which ea...

Thousands gathered in central Bratislava over the weekend to protest the overhaul of the nation's public broadcaster RTVS. Protesters fear that the reform will put the channel under governmental control.

New York (AFP) - US President Joe Biden played down concerns about his age in an interview with late-night TV comic Seth Meyers on Monday as he tried to reach out to hesitant -- and younger -- voters ahead of the November election. The 81-year-old told the host he was a better bet than "the other guy" -- 77-year-old Donald Trump, the Republican former president he is almost certain to face in a bitter rematch of their 2020 contest. In the prerecorded interview, Meyers -- whose jokes on his weeknight NBC show regularly target Trump -- said that Democrat Biden's age was a "real concern for Ameri...
