Shake-up in scandal-ridden cable news:

 


Shake-up in scandal-ridden cable news: Fox Tuckered-out; CNN soured on Lemon | Sharyl Attkisson  . . ."Some have linked the Fox departures to a Fox News settlement of a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion sued Fox for defamation saying that the news outlet's reporting on 2020 voter fraud questions wrongly pointed the finger at Dominion voting machines. Fox reportedly agreed to pay Dominion $787 million to settle the case.

"In 2020, CNN settled a defamation suit filed by a student, Nicholas Sandmann. Sandmann says the network defamed him in their unfair reporting that wrongly portrayed him, then a high-school student, as an aggressor in a videotaped incident outside the US Supreme Court. He had sought $275 million in damages. The Washington Post also settled with Sandmann.

"Last December, CNN fired another of its anti-Trump stars: Chris Cuomo. That after it was revealed that he advised his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, about sexual harassment allegations against Andrew that ultimately forced his resignation from the governor's office.

"In my book, Slanted: How the news media taught us to love censorship and hate journalism, former CNN executive Rick Kaplan (who also led news divisions or departments at CBS, ABC, and MSNBC) predicted that if Trump lost the 2020 re-election, it would lead to a major shake-up at CNN, which had relied almost solely on anti-Trump news to gain viewership." . . .

BREAKING: Conservative News Outlet Hints At Huge Offer For Tucker Carlson (trendingpoliticsnews.com) . . ."In addition to the offer from OAN, Carlson has also received an invitation from Glenn Beck to join TheBlaze, which he owns. Beck, who left Fox News in 2011, stated that he and Carlson had “become friends” over the years and pledged that Carlson would have creative freedom.

“ 'We would love to have you here. You won’t miss a beat. And together, the two of us will tear it up. Just tear it up,” Beck said shortly after the news broke. TheBlaze founder went on to say that the move was “suicidal” for Fox.". . .
