CNN Just Made a Surprise Move
CNN quietly disbanded its Race and Equality team Wednesday, a source said.
The news comes as CNN chief executive Mark Thompson announced that the cable news channel will lay off 100 employees as it restructures its newsgathering operations.
The team, which was unveiled in July 2020 by former CNN president Jeff Zucker, had three reporters. The source explained that one reporter was laid off, while the others will be reassigned to different roles in the newsroom.
The disgraced former president of CNN, Jeff Zucker, decided to capitalize on the George Floyd riots in 2020 by opening a “Race and Equality” team. CNN was already pushing woke liberal propaganda. But Zucker thought it needed more white-hating coverage, by creating this Marxist-style team.
Now that CNN is circling the drain, the new leadership is quietly getting rid of this woke team. One of its reporters was fired and the others will be reassigned to doing, we can only assume, real work. (Although the jury’s out over whether anyone at CNN does “real work.”)
