Fox News Lobotomizes Its ‘Brain Room,’ Cuts Fact-Based Journalism

Fox News’ PR department used anodyne corporate-speak to characterize the job losses, namely “restructuring various divisions in order to position all of our businesses for ongoing success.

Story continuesThe non-disclosure section of the severance agreement requires laid-off employees to “assign to the Company any and all rights to publicity concerning any matter relating to the issues that resulted in your separation from the Company and/or this Agreement. You agree that you will not publish, contribute to or otherwise facilitate the creation of any story, book or other account relating to the Company or any Released Party.

A current Fox News employee—who, like others who spoke to The Daily Beast, asked not to be further identified for fear of retaliation—placed blame on Porter Berry, a former longtime Hannity producer who is Fox News Digital’s editor-in-chief, and Berry’s second-in-command Stefanie Wheeler Choi, a former communications director for hard-right Tennessee politician Marsha Blackburn, for much of the carnage that has concentrated on straight-news reporters and photojournalists.

According to multiple Fox News insiders, the most recent cuts were ordered by Joe Dorrego, a former Fox Corp. executive who is both Fox News’s new chief financial officer and chief operating officer. In what is bound to be a bitter irony for laid-off Fox News employees, Dorrego claimed in a staff meeting this past Thursday, according to an insider, that the channel has so far experienced record revenue and profits in 2020.

“For all the complications surrounding Roger, he truly did want the channel to project a legitimate news side as well as a robust opinion lineup,” said a well-placed Fox News veteran. “As time passed and the strong hand of Ailes has faded, the opinion team appears to have won the internal battle.”

Your caption is short of fact. '... losing around one-fourth of its 30-person staff along with two supervisors—a virtual frontal lobotomy, according to sources familiar with the cutbacks.'

...they had one?

They should not be allowed to use News in their name. Maybe Fox Opinion would do justice

. F-ACTS O-MITTING X-ENOPHOBES .

Is that a fact?

Fox News Would Rather Not Admit Trump Is a Giant CrookA massive New York Times report on Trump’s tax fraud was too big for even Fox News to ignore. Instead, they brought on Don Jr. to play defense. Vanity Fair looks in the mirror doing for Democrats and Biden what they claim fox does for Trump. We never suspected VF of real journalism so we're not disappointed It doesn’t surprise me that Vanity Fair and all Dem sycophants would magically disregard their own efforts at reducing their own tax burden just so they can disparage someone else. There is a word for this-hypocrisy. I just took a few minutes to stare at this photo. Is the the face of a normal, sane, man? He’s got his best lying man expression. But look at that plastered, messy, ridiculous orange smudge, with the odd, white eyes and ring around the lips, in contrast with his hands. Not normal
