ABC News hit with 75 layoffs as corporate parent Disney slashes costs: ‘Tough decisions’
Story by Alexandra Steigrad • 16h •


ABC News and its local stations group got hit with 75 job cuts Wednesday as part of an ongoing restructuring at parent company Disney.

ABC News president Almin Karmehmedovic broke the news to staffers in a memo obtained by The Post, telling them that the network has had to make some “tough decisions.”

“Across the various ranks of ABC News, a limited number of our colleagues are being impacted by staff reductions,” he said. “As you know this has been happening across the broader company and the industry at large in recent weeks and months.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Good riddance.  If the backlash of this last debate ends up being what I hope, this debate on CBS will be the last debate on mainstream media.

I think Republicans need to say no to these networks, and let then die out.  Support the stations that offer a conservative mindset, and end placating these corrupt media networks.

:D Came here to say exactly that. Disney as an organization is shit. They just had to add a warning for Mary Poppins for "racially insensitive language". The mouse needs to go down.

They should learn to code. Just like MSM-folk said of normal people whose jobs were lost due government regs.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Sad part is I bet that almost all of those 75 are cameramen, lighting techs, and other ancillary jobs.

The likes of Muir and Davis will just get raises.
