Friday's 5 Things: Donald Trump's dark message

CNN: Five things for your New Day View this email in your browser Friday, July 22, 2016 GOP's wild week. Donald Trump's dark message. Roger Ailes' swift downfall. It's Friday, and here are the 5 things you need to know to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door: 1. GOP Convention  When Donald Trump promised us an over-the-top convention, he meant exactly that. The man of the week accepted the Republican presidential nomination last night, closing out a wild convention in Cleveland. Yet despite a cheerful crowd and daughter Ivanka Trump's glowing introduction, the four-day event got dragged down by daily distractions. They included Ted Cruz's defiant snub of the presidential nominee, wife Melania Trump's plagiarized tribute and a grand helicopter entrance that stole the spotlight from others. Next up: The Democratic National Convention next week.  2. Donald Trump  Trump marched into the arena last night with a dark message: The U.S. is in a sorry state. He listed problems ailing the nation, including unemployment, rising murder rates, police killings and terrorism. But fear not. He will save America from all that once elected. "The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end ... beginning on January 20th 2017," he said. During his 75-minute speech, he issued grim statistics on immigration, Hillary Clinton's legacy and the economy, among others. He said his convention will not tolerate lies, so we fact-checked his numbers.  3. Roger Ailes Roger Ailes is out at Fox News. The swift downfall of the CEO started two weeks ago when  former employee Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment suit against him. Within days, more women came forward with similar accounts of harassment. Yesterday, media mogul Rupert Murdoch decided enough -- and showed him the door. Murdoch, the patriarch of parent company 21st Century Fox, is taking over as CEO for now.  4. Florida shooting The shooting of an African-American behavior therapist who was helping a man with autism in North Miami was accidental. So says a police union representing the officer who shot him. It says the officer believed the man with autism posed a danger and intended to shoot him, but accidentally shot Charles Kinsey instead. Kinsey's shooting Monday sparked outrage after footage showed him lying on the ground holding both hands in the air.    5. Baton Rouge shooting An Ohio rapper says he received an email from gunman Gavin Long less than an hour before he killed three law enforcement officers in Louisiana. In a video posted online, Yarima Karama  said the email included images of a handwritten letter with the subject line: "manifesto." Long ambushed Baton Rouge officers on Sunday, killing three of them and wounding three others, according to authorities.  Breakfast Browse People are talking about these. Read up. Join in. Pokemon Go where? A reporter was busted playing Pokemon Go at a State Department briefing. Worst part is he didn't catch even one cartoon critter. Better luck next time, dude.  Now this is a smartphone  No more peering into spider web patterns of splintered glass. A new shatter-resistant screen is coming soon to a smartphone near you. Well, it's about time.   She's baaaack! Guess who made her big return to Twitter? Leslie Jones! The "Ghostbusters" actress left the platform a few days ago over racist tweets from trolls. 75 minutes The duration of Donald Trump's acceptance speech last night -- the longest in at least 30 years.  And finally ... TGIF It's been one long week of politics. What better way to get the weekend started than with some parrots dancing to techno music?  (Click to view) This edition of CNN Five Things brought to you by Faith Karimi.  Read more stories on CNN.com » Paid Content Share Tweet Forward CNN Five Things magically shows up in your inbox every weekday at 6 a.m. ET.
