The media husiness has long been in major flux with big challenges posed by the internet, so there is that, but by having such a leftist slant they further undermine themselves. And why any news organization would permit reporters like Mihalopolous and the Tribune’s Pratt as two examples to use social media to promote leftist causes is puzzling. It taints the papers articles, not just their own. Seems like a crusading leftist media is getting some overdue pushback from the market.
I’d love to know what WBEZ subscriber/ audience #s are in Black & Latino communities that WBEZ claims to champion thru endless EQUITY stories!!….I’m sure the #s are next to ZERO…..EQUITY!!!!
I feel very sorry for anybody who gets laid off, especially in a sector with few job openings, like this. However, as the wokest major news organization in the state, WBEZ’s problems are largely self-inflicted.
Did they apply DEI/equity standards to layoffs….i.e. get rid of any old straight white guys first? (Or maybe they didn’t have any left in first place?)…EQUITY!!!
