Cnn primetime with abby philips starts right now. Objectively american democracy is in perilous condition. The nations politics are poisoned. Truth has become optional. Instead of desired or even required. The republic has of course always faced threats to it even before Rupert Murdoch. But so much of the current state of our democracy can be traced back to the beast of his creation. Good evening everyone. Im abby philip. Rupert murdoch is stepping down as ceo of fox news tonight. His legacy is outrage porn. Partisan red meat. Stoking relentless culture wars. But it all started with what you could argue is a noble vision to create a center right news network to elevate more perspectives that arent based in gotham or in washington. But instead, Stoking Division seemed to become murdochs mission. So did power and so did the money. Fox became a mouth piece for republican administrations, a mouth piece really for donald trump and eventually a vehicle for his baseless conspiracies. It is im
to put the president s son on the stand. we re live outside court with the latest well, as former president trump said, to give remarks, this hour. and shortly after that, he s gonna be meeting with his probation officer. that is ahead of his sentencing next month, we have new details on the meeting and what it could mean for his conviction and is run for the white house. and some positive results from a combo covid and flu vaccine, a first of its kind so when is it going to become available? we re following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central right now hunter biden s defense team is presenting their closing arguments to jurors and accusing prosecutors of trying to do the jury, the president s son faces three felony counts of illegally purchasing and possessing a gun in 2018 while abusing or being addicted to drugs? biden has pleaded not guilty to all charges last hour prosecutors walked jurors through evidence that they

coming out here ahead of science? the letter that dr. ledepo sent to the fda, had a comment from ron desantis where he said, we are not going to about down to washington edicts, we are going to do the things that we think are best for floridians while pushing back on things that come out of washington or through the cdc. basically we are not going be pushed around by institutions in the government and that is sort of his platform and i think dr. ledepo fits into that but it s a shame because i think what he s done, he s made science political and floridians will suffer that. the notion is, that ironically, he said, also don t use mrna vaccines, the only other license vaccine is novavax, which is also made using cells, and also, likely contains small fragments of dna, so it just shows, it s his lack of understanding on how the process works.
