Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence
  • President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'

  • Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.

  • It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.

  • Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

Theater Review: ‘The Great Gatsby’ on Broadway
Quick Glance: Review: A Fresh Take on ‘The Great Gatsby’ with Humor and Romance
  • This Broadway musical adaptation presents the Jazz Age in a lively manner, but overlooks the tragic essence of Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel.

  • Portraying Jay Gatsby as a self-made enigma and exceptional host in West Egg, Long Island, reveals his insecurities and the constant struggle to maintain the facade of his wealthy life.

  • The production excels in comedy, romance, and impressive dance numbers, complemented by striking costumes and visual effects.

  • While offering plenty of fun and visual splendor, the adaptation falls short in fully capturing the deep tragedy of the 1925 novel, resulting in an overall underwhelming experience.

ByteDance Won’t Sell TikTok To Protect Its Secret Algorithm: Report
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.
