Rupert Murdoch’s paper helped elect the mayor, and it hasn’t quite given up on him yet.

Eleven rivals. Countless billions. One prize: the right to build a casino in the heart of New York.

Under Trump, the White House Medical Unit was “like the Wild West,” and staffers had easy access to powerful stimulants and sedatives, sources say.

Taking the helm of the world-famous music, politics and culture title -- with plans to go “faster, louder, harder.”

Brian Stelter says Fox News is moving further to the right, and Daily Beast editor-in-chief Noah Shachtman frames it differently: "I don't think it's a left-right decision, I think it's a conspiracy, non-conspiracy decision, and they've gone full conspiracy." Politico's Tina Nguyen also weighs in.

Noah Shachtman analyzes a recent spate of controversies at "The New York Times." "They seem to be making up as they go along," with "different standards of discipline" for different staffers, "and they seem to be changing day to day," he says. "It's left a lot of Times reporters and editors and staffers very confused."

Is Trump "winning" because he is getting more airtime and oxygen? Anne Applebaum has doubts: "The more people see him in action, the more they hear him, the more they seem to be repelled by him." Noah Shachtman says the media coverage disparity "reflects the dynamics of the race," adding, "there's a race between two coalitions, a pro-Trump and an anti-Trump coalition."

Brian Stelter discusses the debate commission's "embarrassing setbacks" with Noah Shachtman and Charlotte Alter.

"Daily Beast" editor-in-chief Noah Shachtman says the distorted video that made Nancy Pelosi sound drunk shows that "you don't need some sophisticated operation in order to publish fake news." Brian Stelter also brings up a made-up Trump tweet posted by Ian Bremmer to illustrate the "dumbfakes" problem.

Who do you believe, President Trump or your own ears? When a British interviewer told Trump about Meghan Markle's past criticism of him, Trump said "I didn't know she was nasty." After being criticized for it, Trump denied calling her "nasty" at all. Brian Stelter breaks it down and talks with panelists Elaina Plott and Sarah Ellison.

"Mark me down as skeptical," Brian Stelter says. "Even when he does speak, he's whispering, and the president is screaming at the top of his lungs." Elaina Plott, Noah Shachtman and Sarah Ellison join Brian to discuss Mueller and Trump's use of television.

The mayor was briefly accused of assaulting a young man. A GOP source says right-wing operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman approached him to make similarly untrue accusations.

With superstar attorney Ben Brafman at his side, Weinstein saw prosecutors drop one of the charges against him. That hasn’t stopped Weinstein from looking for new representation.

Noah Shachtman dissects the Fox-Trump feedback loop, which he calls "insane," and Fox's multi-million dollar bonus payment to Bill Shine. "What you really see here is the merging of a TV star and a TV network," Shachtman says.

Karen Tumulty, Noah Shachtman, and David Zurawik join Brian Stelter to discuss competing top stories. On most major news outlets, Stelter says, a new climate change report is getting attention. But pro-Trump media stories are talking about the migrant "caravan" instead. Zurawik says Trump "is still able to drive a lot of coverage."
