From 'Crossfire' to 'CeaseFire': C-SPAN executive launches program that promotes common ground

For many years when he worked at CNN, Sam Feist was a producer for “Crossfire,” which highlighted often loud political differents. Now that he is CEO of C-SPAN, Feist is looking for a different approach. The network will soon debut a new show, “CeaseFire,” that promotes conversations between political opposites trying to reach common ground. Feist has selected Dasha Burns of “Politico” to host the new program, which is debuting this fall. “Crossfire” arguably led American politicians into a more polarized place, now obvious in its politics. Feists hopes that “CeaseFire” can show Americans ways that its leaders can work together.

Judge dismisses lawsuit filed by Alec Baldwin for malicious prosecution in fatal 'Rust' set shooting

A New Mexico judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by actor Alec Baldwin for malicious prosecution in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie “Rust.” The judge in a ruling made public Wednesday dismissed the case without prejudice for lack of any significant action with the claim. Baldwin's attorneys say settlement discussions have been ongoing and that they have been waiting to prosecute the case pending the outcome of those talks. Baldwin had alleged defamation, saying that prosecutors and investigators intentionally mishandled evidence. A judge last summer dismissed a charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
