On Tuesday, Biden needled Doocy over a question about the call the president just had with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Mr. President, what did you talk to Vladimir Putin about?” Doocy asked “You. He sends his best!” Biden replied. Contentious interactions between reporters and presidents are nothing new. CNN reporter Jim Acosta had a particularly fiery relationship with Trump, regularly asking the former president blunt questions that were often met with borderline hostility....

The conservative network is facing competition from its liberal competitors and it seems the attack at Capitol Hill has contributed to the ratings win. Friday night saw CNN average 4.36 million total viewers, and 1.31 million in the key demographic of viewers aged 25-54. This was closely followed by MSNBC, with 4.32 million total viewers and 838,000 in that same demographic. Fox came in third place, with 2.98 million total viewers and 513,000 in the 25-54 demographic....

The FBI executed a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort residence on Monday in search of top secret and sensitive compartmentalized information, as well as other classified documents. The Washington Post reported Thursday that information regarding nuclear weapons was believed to be among the documents sought by federal agents, and a Russian-state television host said officials in Moscow have already studied the records. Trump described the report regarding nuclear weapons documents as a “hoax....

Trump’s face dropped at Game Five of the World Series on Sunday night when the crowd at the 41,000 capacity stadium began to loudly boo him. Fans cheered as players from the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros stepped out at the National Park stadium in D.C., but the atmosphere changed with Trump appeared on the jumbotron. The applause quickly turned into resounding boos as the president appeared on the screen beside First Lady Melania Trump and some Republicans, including Florida congressman Matt Gaetz....

Guest co-host Tom Shillue said that the woman “deserved a little slap” and that he “didn’t like the way she yanked on [The Pope].” Compagno said, “she deserved to get choked out by his security guards.” “I thought that was so violent on her part, so uncalled for. And you know what, he’s the Pope, he’s not Jesus. So I am fine with him saying ‘get off me,’ he doesn’t need to apologize....

On Thanksgiving Day, Fox Nation, the streaming companion to Fox News, will debut Christmas in the Rockies, an original TV movie about a young woman who leaves the big city to enter a lumberjack competition in order to help save the family’s struggling business in small-town America—where she falls in love, of course. The formula no doubt sounds familiar to fans of Hallmark’s annual over-the-top yuletide offerings, whereby the channel airs nothing but sappy Christmas movies beginning two months ahead of December 25....

Trademark lawyer Josh Gerben posted the filing on Twitter, noting that it was for use in a “reality, comedy or game show.” The phrase has enjoyed a dramatic rise in popularity over the last few months, as the election has brought up generational conflicts on how the world is run and what previous generations have left for young people to deal with. It’s easy to see why FOX would want to capitalize on the trend, especially with an unscripted program which typically takes significantly less time and budget to produce....

In a decree sent to schools across France, the country’s education ministry aimed to end the use of midpoints that designate both masculine and feminine endings to words. As the Telegraph reported, in the French language, nouns reflect the gender of the object they are referring to and the masculine ending is usually dominant. For example, a group of friends including five women and one man would be written as “amis” but a midpoint would change the spelling of the word to “ami....

Molinari took just one stroke to finish 16 on Saturday. The Italian golfer used a pitching wedge from 133 yards out and put a shot just past the pin that eventually rolled back into the hole. It was the first hole in one at 16 since 2011, according to the Phoenix Open. Nice.

Lampard delivered short and sharp barbs back to several journalists who questioned him on Friday afternoon. It comes amid a poor run of form where Chelsea have lost five out of their last eight games and which sees him as the favorite to be the next manager sacked in the league.

According to the Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention, the combined number of cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis have risen for the fifth year in a row to an all-time high.

In a Facebook post Tuesday, Graham commented “There’s a price to pay, and it is a very heavy price....

Biden delivered an address to a joint-session of Congress on Wednesday to overview the accomplishment of his administration during his first 100 days in office. The president emphasized his goal of passing his multitrillion-dollar American Jobs Plan to fix the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, while also unveiling an American Family Plan to provide money and support to people across the country. Republicans largely criticized Biden’s proposals and his remarks, as did Graham in a Thursday Twitter thread....

He also apparently is proficient at filling his mouth with sunflower seeds. The Braves ended the Los Angeles Dodgers nine-game winning streak on Wednesday, handing Los Angeles a 5-3 loss. Freeman had a good day at the plate, going 2-for-3, raising his batting-average to .316, and knocking in his 41st RBI of the season. But when Freeman wasn’t in the batter’s box, or in the field, he was annihilating this bag of sunflower seeds in the dugout....

Infante, 31, hit .318/.345/.450 with 10 home runs in 118 games for the Tigers in 2013....

Andrew Page, 38, went missing on November 23 after diving from a 20 foot boat approximately 14 nautical miles offshore in waters near Bundaberg. Page, who had been spearfishing at the time, was reported missing by the skipper after he failed to resurface just after 8 a.m. A hunt for the missing free diver was immediately sparked, and over the next five days sea and air rescue teams scoured the area without success....

Racism has been a chief concern of critics of Russia as World Cup hosts in the summer, and fears that the tournament will be blighted with such incidents were raised again after the visiting side appeared to be targeted with such abuse. Two goals from Kylian Mbappe and a free-kick from Paul Pogba were sufficient to carry Didier Deschamps’ side to a 3-1 win, but it was a match marred by the incidents....

Global wine tastes may be shifting toward big, bold and fruity, but the high end of the wine market is still dominated by the regions of France, where nuance and complexity are inextricably bound up in a region’s traditional grapes, the unique qualities of the soil and the local weather—what the French call terroir. The 2005 harvest, mostly sold in 2006, was the first in five years in which France’s share of the international wine market grew, mostly at the high end....
