'South Park' creator worries show is becoming too much like CNN

The creator of “South Park” said in an interview published Monday that TV shows have gotten so inundated with jokes about President Trump, people have gotten tired of them.
“We fell into the same trap that “Saturday Night Live” fell into, where it was like, Dude, we’re just becoming CNN now,” Trey Parker told The Los Angeles Times. “We’re becoming: ‘Tune in to see what we’re going to say about Trump.’ Matt (Stone) and I hated it but we got stuck in it somehow.”
Parker said the show will not focus on Trump the way others do.
“We probably could put up billboards — “Look what we’re going to do to Trump next week!” — and get crazy ratings,” Parker said. “But I just don’t care.”
CNN faced widespread backlash Wednesday for seeming to imply the network would reveal the identity of the Reddit user who made an anti-CNN, Trump-themed GIF if he reneged on an apology – but some critics suggested the network also could have a legal problem on its hands.
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz took to Twitter to cite Georgia state law’s prohibition against “theft by extortion.”
“Troubling. I assume CNN's lawyers are examining GA § 16-8-16 Theft by extortion. If CNN constructively obtained the gif-maker's IP...it's a GA crime if they threatened to ‘Disseminate any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule....’” he wrote, citing a portion of the statute.

Rep. Steve Scalise re-admitted to intensive care unit

Doctors at the hospital where House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., has been recovering from a gunshot wound downgraded his condition from "fair" to "serious" Wednesday after he contracted an infection.
MedStar Washington Hospital Center said Scalise had been re-admitted to the intensive care unit. The hospital added that it would provide another update sometime Thursday.
Scalise and four others were hurt when a gunman opened fire on a GOP baseball practice in Virginia on June 14. The gunman, identified as James T. Hodgkinson, was fatally shot by Capitol police.
The congressman was struck in the hip and the bullet tore into blood vessels, bones and internal organs. He has undergone several surgeries.
Sources told Fox News that doctors had anticipated that Scalise would suffer an infection related to the shooting. Sources close to the congressman indicated that they had been told from the start that the Louisianan's recovery would have ups and downs.
The shooting in the Virginia suburb that critically wounded Scalise and injured several others has forced members of Congress to examine their security arrangements to determine if they are sufficient.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said she favors more money for the U.S. Capitol Police force, which is seeking an 8 percent increase to nearly $427 million for next year.
Pelosi said more money would help the agency enhance its presence when members of Congress, staff and others congregate away from the Capitol.
"It's security for other people who are there, too," she said at one point. "If somebody is coming after a member of Congress, you don't want to be anywhere nearby."
Even before the shooting, Speaker Paul Ryan and Pelosi had begun talking about changes that could improve members' safety, said Ryan's spokeswoman, AshLee Strong.

Trump Administration Looks for Help to Pressure North Korea

Washington, D.C- Trey Yingst, OAN Chief White House Correspondent
An ICBM test Tuesday has the Trump administration looking for new partners to put pressure on the North Korean regime.
While US intelligence was aware of the first stage KN-17 missile, a second, range extending portion, was used for the first time by North Korea. The missile reached an estimated altitude of 1,741 miles before landing off the coast of South Korea.
In response, President Trump is weighing options ahead of the G20 Summit where he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The President took to Twitter Wednesday to voice his frustration with the lack of assistance from the Chinese government. 
“Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us – but we had to give it a try!,” President Trump tweeted.
Continued economic relations between the Chinese and the North Koreans now have the Trump administration looking for other partners to pressure the regime of Kim Jong Un.
Senior Administration officials have confirmed that President Trump will meet Russian President Putin on Friday, but have declined to say how much will be discussed regarding North Korea.
In the past, President Trump has said he would like to develop a closer relationship with Russia in order to combat such threats as North Korea.
