Media icon Ted Turner died on Wednesday at the age of 87. Turner's business career is considered historic after he turned a small media operation into a global cable empire. His biggest legacy is founding CNN and helping to pioneer the 24-hour cable news model and make it mainstream, while also building Turner Broadcasting into a major force through WTBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Turner Classic Movies. The Atlanta resident started off with a billboard business and expanded when he bought a struggling Atlanta television station, which he later used to create the "superstation" model to broadcast sports nationally. He also owned the Atlanta Braves and Hawks, using the sports rights for those teams to strengthen his media platforms and brand reach. In 1986, he bought MGM/UA Entertainment, and although that deal created heavy debt, he kept valuable film and TV libraries that later supported Turner Entertainment and TNT. In 1991, CNN and Turner experienced a defining moment when live coverage of the first U.S.-led war against Iraq on CNN captivated audiences. The coverage led Fox ( FOX ) ( FOXA ) and NBC ( CMCSA ), in partnership with Microsoft ( MSFT ), to create all-news channels of their own. A corporate milestone came in 1996, when Turner Broadcasting merged with Time Warner, making Turner one of the most influential shareholders in the combined company. Later, his wealth took a hit when the massive AOL-Time Warner merger led to share price losses for his stake. The major networks created by Ted Turner now sit under the Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ) corporate umbrella, which is due to merge with Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ).

ABC Reporter Fabricated Trump Call, Made Himself The Focus After Assassination Attempt Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, President Trump has slammed ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl for what he calls outright dishonest reporting after Karl inserted himself into the story of the latest assassination attempt on the president. Karl appeared on ABC’s This Week shortly afterward and claimed Trump had reached out to him personally. “My phone rang shortly after 7 a.m., my landline, George actually. A number that few people call and it was President Trump calling,” Karl told host George Stephanopoulos. Karl further claimed that Trump “said at first he was calling to see if I was okay with what happened last night. ‘Are you OK?’ And then he reiterated many of the things he said in his press conference last night emphasizing the unity that he felt in that moment that he felt at the dinner before the shooting and certainly after with people who reached out to him… And he was quite firm about this: That dinner must be rescheduled.” NEWS: President Trump BLAST ABC News’ Jonathan Karl: “Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early in the morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK. No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn’t make such a… pic.twitter.com/Xh9chkU2S2 — RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) May 4, 2026 This week, Trump responded directly on Truth Social, blasting the claim as pure fabrication designed to center Karl rather than the president who had just survived another attempt on his life. “Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early in the morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK. No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn’t make such a call, why would I do that?” Trump remarked. The president added, “He called me, but I didn’t take his call — He just confirmed that to me when he called again. I wo...

Bumble ( BMBL ) shares fell about 19% after the company’s mixed outlook overshadowed a Q1 earnings beat, with investors focusing on softer-than-expected revenue guidance for the current quarter. The dating app operator reported first-quarter GAAP EPS of $0.34, topping estimates by $0.04, and revenue of $212.38 million, slightly above expectations despite a 14% year-on-year decline. However, the company forecast second-quarter revenue at a midpoint of about $209 million, below the Wall Street consensus of roughly $215 million at the midpoint, even as it guided to adjusted EBITDA at a midpoint of about $67.5 million. Management framed the period as a “transformation phase,” highlighting a product and technology overhaul, including a new platform rollout and a redesigned Bumble Date experience expected to begin launching later this year. Executives said profitability trends would normalize as investment in technology, talent, and marketing increases but offered limited visibility on near-term user and conversion metrics. The combination of declining revenue, cautious near-term guidance, and uncertainty around the timing of product-led recovery appeared to drive the sharp selloff, despite strong cash flow and improved operating margins in the quarter.

Shares of Equinor ASA ( EQNR ) fell about 8.5% after the company reported first-quarter 2026 results that beat on profit but disappointed on revenue. Equinor posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.48, topping expectations, while revenue of $27.84B declined 7% year-over-year and missed estimates. Net income came in at $3.1B, supported by higher production and favorable pricing. The company delivered record output of 2.31M barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 9% from a year earlier, driven by strong performance on the Norwegian continental shelf and growth in U.S. and Brazilian operations. However, weaker European gas prices and negative derivative effects weighed on overall revenue. Cash flow from operations after taxes totaled $6.02B, and the balance sheet improved, with the net debt ratio declining to 15.3%. Equinor also maintained shareholder returns , declaring a $0.39 per share dividend and continuing its share buyback program. Despite solid operational momentum, investors appeared focused on the revenue miss and commodity price pressures. The company expects production to grow around 3% in 2026 with capital spending of about $13B.

Bitcoin has gone from panic liquidation to constructive recovery, and the chart is beginning to reflect that shift. The current price action suggests that we are in the transition from forced selling to accumulation. There are also early macro signs working in its favor as the U.S. dollar softened and markets responded positively to signs of easing Middle East tensions. At the same time, institutional demand appears to be returning, with U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs taking in $2.44 billion of net inflows in April, the strongest month of 2026, according to CoinGlass. Reuters also reported that Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citi are expanding bitcoin ETF, trading, custody and lending services — highlighting how embedded bitcoin has become in mainstream financial infrastructure. Against that backdrop, the recovery in bitcoin looks increasingly credible rather than reflexive. Trade timing & outlook Bitcoin's recent move is notable not just for the bounce, but for the structure. The breakout above $75,000 and the successful retest of that level now point to a recovery pattern with $90,000 as the next upside objective and $108,000 above that if momentum continues. On IBIT, those same levels roughly translate to a breakout and retest around $42 and an upside target near $52. Breakout confirmation: Bitcoin has reclaimed its prior breakout level and held it on the retest, which is often the clearest sign that sellers are losing control. Relative strength improvement: IBIT has begun outperforming the S & P 500 again, suggesting institutional capital is rotating back toward the trade. Macro backdrop Dollar softening: Bitcoin's recent rally has been supported by a softer U.S. dollar and improving risk appetite as Middle East tensions eased. ETF demand: U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw $2.44 billion in net inflows in April, nearly double March's $1.32 billion, according to CoinGlass data. Institutionalization: Major financial firms including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citi are e...
