Warner Bros. Discovery said Monday it has informed the National Basketball Association that it intends to use its matching rights for a package of games earmarked for another company. Warner Bros. Discovery is targeting the deal between the NBC and Amazon Prime Video, according to a person familiar with the matter.”In an effort to continue our long-standing partnership, during both exclusive and non-exclusive negotiation periods, we acted in good faith to present strong bids that were fair to both parties. Regrettably, the league notified us of its intention to accept other offers for the games in our current rights package, leaving us to proceed under…
As the frontrunner for the Democratic party’s nomination, Kamala Harris will have to run, for better or worse, on President Joe Biden’s economic record. That could be problematic for the vice president, who is being regarded as the near-certain replacement for Biden on the party ticket. While Biden-Harris can lay claim to a number of achievements, their legacy on inflation is what’s being remembered most by voters, who generally pan the administration’s record. It will be just one challenge Harris will have to overcome to defeat her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump . “She’s got to bear some responsibility…
A Russian court has sentenced Alsu Kurmasheva, a Russian-American journalist, to six-and-a-half years in prison, state news agency TASS reported Monday. The hearing, which was held behind closed doors, found Kurmasheva guilty of spreading false information about the Russian army, making her just the latest US journalist to be convicted in the country in recent months. Kurmasheva’s charge was handed down in the city of Kazan on Friday, the same day that a court in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in prison, following a trial…

Pinterest’s (NYSE:PINS) stock has performed well over the past two years on the back of accelerating growth and improving margins. There appears to be growing concern about the strength of consumers and the digital advertising market, though. While this could create short-term volatility, Pinterest is well positioned to navigate any weakness as a result of its improving tech stack and strong balance sheet. I previously suggested that Pinterest’s share price, and the narrative surrounding the company, was trailing its recovery after a difficult multi-year period. Pinterest remains a growing platform with an under monetized user base, although this is changing…
In mid-May, Joe Biden issued a blustery challenge to Donald Trump, saying he was willing to debate him twice ahead of the US presidential election in November. “Make my day, pal!” Biden said. “Let’s pick the dates.” The two campaigns quickly settled on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia. For Biden, it turned out to be one of the most dramatic miscalculations in the history of modern US presidential campaigns: the 81-year-old president performed so poorly against Trump in the debate that he doomed his own re-election hopes. On Sunday, the president announced he would no longer seek a second term in the…
In the end, President Joe Biden exited the political stage in isolation. After weeks of fighting for his political life – insisting he wasn’t going anywhere following a disastrous debate performance – the president’s about-face did not come in an Oval Office address or a speech on the campaign trail. Instead, it came in letter posted to social media as he recovered from Covid-19 at his beach house in Delaware. It was a low-key way to reveal one of the most historic decisions in modern American politics, but time was not on Biden’s side to reach a decision or make an announcement. Never…
Retiring by the beach is a popular dream of many, but while escaping the 9-to-5 grind on a deserted island may seem like a fun idea, the reality of a life without everyday conveniences is another matter entirely. Of course, there is a solution. Many expat havens around the world offer beachside living along with every city convenience. Here’s my pick of beachside cities ideal for retirees in Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Valencia, Spain Valencia has much to offer expats, including great weather, a friendly community, Mediterranean beaches, excellent infrastructure and health care, and a safe environment. Home…
There’s good and bad news for mortgage rates this week. The good news is rates have continued their slow downward trend, averaging 6.87% on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages, Freddie Mac reported. Although this is promising, lowering interest rates is far from the norm. Last week, 30-year mortgages had average rates of 6.95%. However, compared to a year ago when rates averaged 6.67%, this week and last week’s rates are still relatively high. Still, any improvement is better than nothing.”Mortgage rates fell for the third straight week following signs of cooling inflation and market expectations of a future Fed rate cut,” Freddie…
