A black reporter in Pennsylvania was reportedly removed from covering George Floyd protests over a joke she posted on Twitter about fans of country music star Kenny Chesney. The tweet suggested that the reporter showed “bias,” her employer, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reportedly determined. “Horrifying scenes and aftermath from selfish LOOTERS who don’t care about this city!!!!!” reporter Alexis Johnson tweeted Sunday, along with several photos of trash in a parking lot.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Local social media is abuzz over efforts in Pittsburgh to identify and boycott businesses owned by supporters of President Donald Trump. “I think it’s important because people have a right to know where their money is going,” Pittsburgh blogger Brian Broome told KDKA political editor Jon Delano on Tuesday. In a recent Facebook post, a page identified only as “Ban Kenny Chesney from Pittsburgh” says there’s a list of almost 100 local businesses owned by Trump supporters which will soon be disclosed on a new website.

As NewsBusters has often reported, the folks at MSNBC have a disturbing habit of deceptively editing videos to radically change their meaning. Maybe that's where MSNBC's Toure Neblett learned this, for on Friday, he dramatically edited a Magic Johnson tweet about Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper: Touré ✔ @Toure RT @MagicJohnson: Riley Cooper's teammates will never forgive him, I don't care what they say publicly. 10:09 PM - 2 Aug 2013 For those unaware of the controversy, Cooper was videotaped at a Kenny Chesney concert saying, "I will jump that fence and fight every n---er in here." He has...

Philadelphia (CBS)—Riley Cooper may not have to worry about any bounty being placed on his head by Marcus Vick. Embattled by racial slurs at a Kenny Chesney concert in June, the Eagles’ wide receiver may have deeper concerns ahead with actual NFL players on the field when the season begins.

You have to wait through the commercial to see the interview, and footage Kenny took.

I had to leave early, during "I Go Back." Loved the concert overall, especially the Brooks and Dunn change to "Only in America." They changed the lyrics to the bridge the same way they did for the 2004 Republican convention. Instead of "she came out here to be an actress..." they changed it to "Some men they dream of fame and fortune / some men help to pay the rent / some give their lives to save our freedom / heroes we never will forget" As they were singing, a group of (?all?) Marines, in dress blues, appeared on stage....

I have things to do in Philadelphia that day. I'd like to go later (show starts at 4:30). I don't know, however, who's first or what the overall sequence is (except that probably Brooks and Dunn is next to last and Mr. Chesney is last). I hope it isn't Pat Green who's first. If anyone has information, please post. Thanks.

Boston is a long way from Nashville, but don’t tell that to country superstar Kenny Chesney. Chesney’s show at Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium on Sunday made history: It was the top grossing single-day country music concert ever. “I don’t know about history,” Chesney said in a press release yesterday. “I just know about smiling faces and people having a good time, and there sure were a lot of ’em at Gillette Stadium.” The singer/songwriter from Luttrell, Tenn., became one of only 16 acts to gross more than $4 million at a single concert, joining a list that includes the Rolling Stones,...

Less than a week after Renee Zellweger filed for an annulment from Kenny Chesney after a four-month marriage, he said he's doing well but that "there have been better times." Chesney wants his fans to know he'll "be OK." Chesney spoke with Country Weekly magazine Monday at his home outside Nashville. He said he hit everything hard this year -- a big tour, a record to finish, and, of course, "something new" in his personal life. He said it's been a huge year that "really ended up being too much." Chesney is the reigning Country Music Association entertainer of the...

Renee Zellweger, who has filed for an annulment from Kenny Chesney after just four months of marriage, says the couple "hope to experience this transition as privately as possible." In court papers filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the Oscar-winning actress listed "fraud" as the reason for the breakup with the country music star. The term was "simply legal language and not a refection of Kenny's character," Zellweger said in a statement Friday. "I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalized or untrue conclusions," she said. "We hope to experience...

ET has confirmed that RENEE ZELLWEGER and country crooner KENNY CHESNEY have filed to anull their marriage of just over 4 months. The two tied the knot in a surprise ceremony back in May on the beautiful island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the singer has a home. In a short, 15-minute ceremony performed by a female preacher in front of a small group of family and friends, the bride wore CAROLINA HERRERA, one of her favorite designers, while the groom was reportedly barefoot. The two met at the Concert of Hope tsunami relief effort last...
