CNN’s “woke” staff members are reportedly “terrified” following a recent purge that has seen big names unceremoniously fired from the network.
Employees are now in fear following the recent ousting of Brian Stelter and White House correspondent and Clinton shill John Hardwood .
Hardwood announced his sudden departure on Friday, just hours after reporting from the White House.
Following the surprise exit, current and former CNN employees told The Washington Post that there appears to be a culling of “woke” staffers at the left-wing media outlet.
Both Hardwood and Stelter saw their contracts terminated prematurely.
It’s seen as evidence that new boss Chris Licht is looking to cast out those who have been critical of Donald Trump and his allies in order to present a more neutral CNN.
The network’s new owners say they want to win back CNN’s “most trusted name in news” title after becoming known as a peddler of propaganda.
One CNN journalist told the Post: “People are freaked out.“It almost feels like there’s a pattern.“Is there a purge going on? Slay the latest News for free! “They seem to be sending a message: ‘Watch what you say. Watch what you do.’”In a memo to staff in May, Licht, who was appointed to the network by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, said CNN needed to regain the trust of the people.He said the outlet needed to focus on “fearlessly speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo, questioning ‘group-think,’ and educating viewers and readers with straightforward facts and insightful commentary, while always being respectful of differing viewpoints.”Viewers were speculating online that anchors could be next, with Don Lemon being mentioned .Other popular anchors on the possible chopping block included Jim Acosta and Jake Tapper.A veteran producer, who like the others spoke on the condition of anonymity over concerns about their jobs, said […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
