Time Warner has already rejected Rupert Murdoch's $80 billion buyout overture, but on Tuesday night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart seemed pretty convinced that Murdoch will triumph in the end. Not that he's happy about the News Corp. mogul expanding his already huge media empire. "If he buys Time Warner," Stewart said, "news will just be shit Rupert Murdoch thinks." But if the sale goes through, at least Murdoch won't gobble up CNN, because of antitrust concerns over Murdoch's ownership of Fox News.

The expected asking price for CNN would be about $10 billion, Stewart said, which "is a lot of money for anyone — but not a lot of money for everyone." With that in mind, Stewart announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to buy CNN through crowdsourcing. You can see the prizes on the website The Daily Show set up for this bit, LetsBuyCNN.com. And what would Stewart do with CNN if he somehow raised $10 billion (and CNN actually goes on the block)? I guess that's fodder for a future episode. --Peter Weber

Enrique Marquez, a neighbor and friend of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook, pleaded not guilty to five charges during his arraignment hearing in court on Wednesday, ABC News reports. Marquez stood accused of plotting two terror attacks with Farook in 2011 or 2012, buying the rifles used in the 2015 attacks on the behalf of Farook, and being involved in a "sham marriage" with one of Farook's family members.

Marquez was not charged in connection to the San Bernardino attacks, other than for purchasing the assault rifles much earlier. Court documents show that Marquez claimed he had given the guns to Farook "for safe storage" because he couldn't have them at home around his little brothers.

Marquez was reportedly converted to Islam by Farook and, later, exposed to extremist beliefs. Police killed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, following the San Bernardino attacks. Jeva Lange

Chipotle announced Wednesday it has been served a Federal Grand Jury subpoena in the criminal investigation into the restaurant chain's norovirus outbreak in California. The subpoena, served in Dec. 2015, requires Chipotle to hand over documents related to its Simi Valley, California restaurant, the site of the Aug. 2015 outbreak.

Chipotle says it will cooperate fully with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the central district of California, which is working with the Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Criminal Investigations.

The restaurant chain was also tied to 53 cases of E. coli in nine states last year and a norovirus outbreak in Boston that sickened 140. Becca Stanek

The jury is still out on whether or not Jeb Bush is okay, and this new information might not do much to reassure anyone on the fence about it. Apparently the presidential hopeful carries small toy turtles around in his pockets to remind others — and presumably himself — that "slow and steady wins the race."

While the pocket totems are a little concerning, Bush's full embrace of the slow moving reptile as his spirit animal has been a long time coming:

When Donald Trump first asked for now-wife Melania Trump's number back at a Fashion Week party in 1998, she wouldn't give it to him. "He wanted my number, but he was with a date, so of course I didn't give it to him," Melania recounts to Harper's Bazaar in the magazine's February cover story.

Instead, Melania cut a deal with the real estate magnate and now-Republican presidential candidate: He could give her his number and she would call him. Donald followed through with gusto, giving Melania quite literally all of his phone numbers, including "the office, Mar-a-Lago, home in New York, everything."

A few days later — after Melania wrapped up her photo shoot in the Caribbean — she gave Donald a call. "I was struck by his energy," Melania told Harper's Bazaar. "He has an amazing sense of vitality."

The state of California spends about $64,000 to house a single prisoner for a year, and that price is on a steady climb. As recently as five years ago, the cost was $15,000 less — which is why despite criminal justice reform efforts intended to reduce prison populations and save California taxpayers billions, the price of incarceration is still climbing.

Since 2012, California has released about 30,000 inmates from its notoriously overcrowded facilities, but the corrections budget has yet to catch a break. A major factor is that prisons have yet to cut staff positions even though there are fewer prisoners to look after.

"Their numbers go up, not down. There is no way that could be justified," said state Sen. Jim Nielsen (R). "It was a deceit and a fraud to everybody that we were going to save money in corrections. We have not." Prison spending was supposed to decline by $1.5 billion by the 2015-2016 fiscal year. Bonnie Kristian

Rain has caused a very wide puddle to form at the busy entrance to an overpass bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Here's the question: How do you get across? Do you stand back and take a running leap? Do you charge right through? Do you try to crawl along the edge to avoid the risk of getting your feet wet at all?

The folks in a nearby building have set up a Periscope stream to document the struggle, and up to 20,000 people at a time have been tuning in. You can, too — right over here. Jeva Lange
