Jim Acosta: Fox News viewers may have a case of whiplash
As Fox News changes some of its messaging on the coronavirus vaccine and Dr. Anthony Fauci, CNN’s Jim Acosta calls out the network’s delay in giving the truth to its viewers.
Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is bringing his talents to Fox News Channel's streaming service, Fox Nation. The acclaimed filmmaker will host, narrate and executive produce an eight-episode docudrama called 'Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints.' The series will debut on November 16th, 2024 and run through May 2025. Each episode will focus on a singular saint and look at, per Fox, "these extraordinary figures and their extreme acts of kindness, selflessness and sacrifice."

emerging nuclear fusion industry are
convening this week to attract additional
funding to build commercially-viable reactors. .

Unlike current nuclear fission plants,
commercial fusion plants would not produce
any long-lasting radioactive waste.
According to Andrew Holland, CEO of Fusion Industry
Association (FIA), the industry is concerned that fusion
will follow the same pattern as the solar industry.
Much of the technology used in the solar industry was invented in the United States, but manufacturing was primarily handled in China.
It is very clear that China
has ambitions to do the same
sort of thing, both in the supply
chain and the developers.
It's time for the U.S. to
respond to that challenge, Andrew Holland, CEO of Fusion Industry
Association (FIA), via Fox News.
According to an FIA report from last July, private
companies around the world have invested
over $6 billion in fusion technology through 2022. .
Fox News reports that the third annual FIA
conference is expected to attract an estimated
350 attendees from around the world.
Last year, the industry gained momentum
after scientists at California's Lawrence Livermore
Laboratory reported a breakthrough, bringing the
technology one step closer to commercial viability.

Fox News reports that the bill looks to prevent
children turning 15 this year and younger from
ever being legally able to purchase tobacco.
According to the government, the act of smoking
would not be criminalized, meaning that anyone
currently able to legally obtain tobacco would
be allowed to continue smoking in the future.
If we want to build a better future
for our children we need to tackle
the single biggest entirely
preventable cause of ill-health,
disability and death: smoking, Rishi Sunak, Conservative Prime Minister, via Fox News.
According to the British government,
smoking costs the nation an
estimated $21.63 billion every year.
The proposed legislation also includes
restrictions on vape flavors and packaging
intentionally marketed toward children. .
The new legislation reportedly comes
amid a sharp increase in vape usage
by young people in the U.K. .
In February, similar legislation in New Zealand
was introduced, looking to ban tobacco
sales to anyone born after January 1, 2009. .
That bill was repealed
by New Zealand's new
coalition government
