 ABC has appointed Almin Karamehmedovic, executive producer of the top-rated World News Tonight with David Muir, as the new president of its news division, according to a report by New York Post. The decision comes as a “surprise choice” after a three-month period of uncertainty following the resignation of former ABC News president Kim Godwin in May. The announcement was made by Debra OConnell, president of ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment, on Monday. The decision ends weeks of speculation about whether the network, currently undergoing cost-cutting measures, would hire from within its ranks. Karamehmedovic will now oversee day-to-day operations across the news division, including the network’s flagship programmes, World News Tonight and Good Morning America. While the move has raised some eyebrows within the network, due to Karamehmedovic’s reportedly polarizing reputation, others have applauded the decision. “He’s very bright and knows how to drive ratings by delivering w...

 "My son, Marquise Jackson, is 25 years old and still expects financial support. I currently give him $6,800 every month, but he says it’s not enough. Success cost me my relationship with Marquise. But at his age, isn’t it concerning that he’s still asking for child support? I give him about $81,000 a year because he doesn’t want to work. Marquise seems to think that just because he’s 50 Cent’s son, he doesn’t need to put in any effort. He feels entitled to a salary simply for being my son, but that’s not how life works. I once offered to set up a business for him that could generate at least $1 million a month, but he turned it down. His mentality of 'my dad’s money is mine' isn’t right. I keep talking about this publicly, hoping it will make him rethink and start working. No matter how wealthy you are, never let your children feel entitled to your money."- 50 Cent.
