Matt Belloni, editorial director of the Hollywood Reporter, joins Kim Masters to discuss top entertainment news stories of the week.

There's an ongoing war between President Donald Trump and CNN. Most recently, the president tweeted a GIF of himself tackling the network, and the network fought back. Trump's fans love the anti-media sentiment, but what's the impact on the security of journalists?
Sources in the White House have floated the idea that the merger between AT&T and Time Warner could be impeded because of the presidents dislike for CNN. However, Time Warner has said that the company could potentially divest assets if it helps with the deal.
The two Asian stars of CBS's Hawaii Five-O are leaving the show, because they did not get equal pay to the white stars on the show. This is bad optics for CBS, which has already been under scrutiny for lacking diversity.
