>>CBS News Radio To End After Nearly A Century
(New York, NY) -- CBS News is laying off six-percent of its staffers and shuttering its decades-old CBS News Radio service. Friday's announcement from the Tiffany Network is the latest round of overhauls from its editor in chief, Bari Weiss, who was hired in late 2025 to reshape its news division that's seen a sharp decline in ratings. The six-percent slash represents about 60 employees. The closing of CBS News Radio marks the end of an historic institution. The operation started in 1927, and gained a worldwide audience with Edward R. Murrow's World War Two reports from London.
>>Jury Rules Elon Musk Misled Investors Before Twitter Deal
(San Francisco, CA) -- A federal jury says Elon Musk misled Twitter investors as he pushed to lower the price of his 44-billion-dollar takeover. Jurors in San Francisco found Musk intentionally downplayed the company's value in 2022 by claiming the platform, now called X, was riddled with fake accounts. His statements helped drive down Twitter's stock price for months. The amount Musk will have to play in damages to investors will be determined later, but it may end up in the billions. Bloomberg says Musk's net worth is around 650 billion dollars.

Stryker was a cyberattack victim earlier this month, with the attack disrupting their international network but not impacting any of their medical devices used in healthcare.
>>Gas Ranges Recalled Over Burn Hazard Risk
(Bethesda, MD) -- Electrolux is recalling over 17--thousand Frigidaire gas ranges due to an oven-related issue. The Consumer Products Safety Commission says the recall affects about 170-thousand units sold in the U.S. and Canada. The agency said the ovens can experience delayed ignition of the bake burner, which poses a burn hazard to users. The recall involves Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery and Frigidaire Professional gas ranges. The CPSC said consumers should stop using the recalled ranges immediately and contact Electrolux, which will provide in-home installation of a new bake burner for free.
