According to Kim Godwin, the reason she was given the heave ho

Kim Godwin, the embattled president of ABC News, abruptly announced Sunday evening that she will exit the network, capping a tumultuous three-year run at the outlet after staffers said her polarizing leadership led to plummeting employee morale.
I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism,” Godwin told staffers in a memo that rocked the ABC News newsroom.
“I have been fortunate and blessed enough to have done almost every job there is in this business,” Godwin added. “But after considerable reflection, I’m certain it’s the right one for me as I look to the future and prioritize what’s most important for me and my family.”
Godwin’s sudden exit came after CNN reported earlier this week that Debra OConnell, the Disney (DIS) veteran who was tapped in February to oversee ABC News as part of her portfolio, was conducting a review of her performance and had voiced dissatisfaction in private conversations with the state of affairs at the network.

Why she got the job too.
You left the “i” out of “ruin” in the headline.
She was a blatant “diversity” hire ...
The network is still basically sound and despite some setbacks lately and some criticism there will be a soft landing like this:

Yes it’s why the Tokens-R-Us store never closes.
It should be noted, other reports say Godwin said ABC News “overreacted to calls for diversity,” (translated as ‘too many blacks on the air.’), to which I agree, but does not make her a diversity hire, but opposed to diversity hires, even if she herself may have been.
She also said “blacks don’t watch.”
Methinks its a race war ongoing at ABC News.
all i can say is the more internal strife, plummeting morale, layoffs, polarization, bad management, profound errors, chaos and damage to ANY of the big three virulently anti-Trump Democrat propaganda TV news networks, the better!
otherwise i could care less about their peccadillos ...
I’ve never heard of her and I haven’t watched ABC news programs for several decades...
Yup, same here. I wonder who does ?
So an alleged diversity hire (Not all black people in position of power are tokens, a lot earn their status) who tried to gut DEI in the newsroom is the bad person? She went against the narrative and tried to promote reason as well as attempting to expand market share rationally in a company full of executives and Board members pushing clown world. She deserves props not castigation.
Another one for the Who’s Who of “Didn’t Earn It”, eh?
We will miss her terribly. What’s her name again?
No, you were hired because you’re black. You were fired because you’re incompetent.
another woke hire bites the dust
Translation into normal speak is, "I really screwed up and they fired my ass."
