The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Comedy Central announced that “South Park” will be billed as “South America” for its Season 29 premiere on Sept. 16. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said the change was “inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google,” referring to their map updates after President Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America.” The statement also thanked parent company Paramount, calling it “a Skydance Capitulation.” Trump has also renamed the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” and floated renaming New Mexico “New America.”
