Fox News begins 'company-wide layoffs'
conservativeinstitute.org ^ | July 16, 2023 | Staff

"Company-wide layoffs" are currently taking place at Fox News.

This information comes from journalist Chadwick Moore.

Moore, in the past few days, has posted several messages to his Twitter account exposing what is going on, largely out of the public's eye.

It turns out that among those being laid off are the remaining members of Tucker Carlson's team. Carlson, of course, is the extremely popular former Fox News host who was fired by Fox in April for undisclosed reasons.

The "company-wide layoffs" In a Twitter message that Moore posted on Friday, July 14, he wrote:

EXCLUSIVE: According to a current senior producer at Fox News, there are company-wide layoffs happening right now that no one is reporting on. “Morale miserable across teams on both news and opinion,” the producer says.

Moore goes on to report his source as saying that Fox's shows are getting "frantic, bipolar guidance almost daily on blacklisted and unblacklisted guests, including sitting members of the Senate."

In subsequent Twitter messages, Moore gave as an example U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL).

Moore in one message, wrote, "According to multiple sources, @TTuberville was banned from the prominent shows on the network . . ."

Moore, in a separate message, also suggested that Fox fired an executive producer for Fox & Friends after this individual invited Tuberville onto her show.

There's more Moore, in yet another Twitter message, revealed that the remaining members of Carlson's team are also being fired by Fox.

Moore writes:

EXCLUSIVE: @TuckerCarlson’s remaining team at Fox News (nine employees) will be frog marched out of the building tonight at 9:00pm. HR will be waiting outside the control room when they finish tonight’s show to escort the remaining producers outside. One former Carlson producer called it “Degrading!”

Moore, here, also provides a screenshot that, according to him, is the very email that Fox sent to these employees. Take a look at the email for yourself:

The big question, of course, is why is all of this taking place. And, we do not know the answer - Fox has kept silent. It's clear, however, that Fox appears to be in some serious trouble, and it is also clear that this trouble emerged after its 2020 presidential election coverage, after its firing of Carlson, and - perhaps most importantly - after it adopted an anti-Trump position. This probably is no coincidence.

Here’s my experience with layoffs. At the first clue there will be a layoff the very best people, the ones you don’t want to lose, leave voluntarily. As layoffs loom closer the next best and then the next best after them leave the company until the only thing left to carry on is the least productive or those who had no other options. The ones who get laid off were those who worked hard to stay because they had personal issues, like a sick wife or child or elderly parents to take care of. They worked hard to prove their value and got thanked with an email or text saying their access was now cancelled.

Mike Judge is outstanding. Office Space and Idiocracy alone are an amazing CV.

“Idiocracy” foretold the rise of Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama and all the idiocy we’ve seen from Leftist Liberals since then.

Ted a Turner had the sense to sell CNN before it went full commie. Here’s to hoping Murdoch’s filthy spawn go down with the ship.

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho would have been better than Obama.
At least he was a 5 time Smackdown Champion.

“Layoff rumors spread faster than the speed of light within a company...............................”

There are two groups you need to treat well in a company. The maintenance staff and the boss’ assistant. The first lets you do stuff that’s technically outside your control. The second lets you see the layoff list long before it hits the regular employees. Or, at the very least you can find out if your name is on it.

One of my coworkers, a terrible employee but a nice guy was about to get married, buy a car and a house. I told him he was on the list. He asked his boss, and his boss assured him he was not. He got married, bought the house and the car and got laid off. He lost the house and the car. At the very least a decent boss would have said, “I don’t know but it would be wise to not make any big financial decisions until you know for sure.” But quite often it isn’t the decent man who becomes the boss.

he’s only part of the problem - a lot of people went along with him. the place needs a housecleaning and a new energy now. disastrously bad judgment has and will cost many a lot of pain.
