A couple comments on the various stories:MORE BLACKS TAKE OVER AT ABC
ReplyDeleteGRA:First,a story about another White ABC exec,booted out after 30 years,that we never heard about:
(LA Times,July 20th,2020)Longtime ABC News business affairs chief Barbara Fedida is leaving the division following an internal investigation into racist remarks made about on-air talent, including “Good Morning America” star Robin Roberts.
Parent company Walt Disney Co. announced Fedida’s departure Monday in a memo to employees from Walt Disney Television Chairman Peter Rice, which was obtained by The Times.
“The investigation substantiated that Ms. Fedida did make some of the unacceptable racially insensitive comments attributed to her,” Rice said. “It also substantiated that Ms. Fedida managed in a rough manner and, on occasion, used crass and inappropriate language.”
Rice also said “the investigation found no basis for the claims that Ms. Fedida was the subject of dozens of HR complaints and that ABC News spent millions of dollars in confidential settlements related to Ms. Fedida, as alleged in some press accounts.”
Fedida has been on administrative leave since June 13 after publication of a HuffPost report that recounted a discussion about the contract of “Good Morning America” co-host Roberts in which the executive allegedly said the network was not asking Roberts to “pick cotton.”
Fedida also allegedly used the term “low rent” to describe Sunny Hostin, a Black co-host on “The View.” In discussing the value to the network of former Black correspondent Kendis Gibson, she allegedly said ABC News would spend more money on toilet paper.
The HuffPost story also said there have been settlements with former ABC News employees who complained about Fedida’s behavior.
The news executive recruited and helped develop much of the on-air talent that appears on “Good Morning America” and “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir,” which since the coronavirus outbreak has been the most-watched program on television.

She also helped revamp the daytime talk program “The View,” which in recent years has become a must-stop for politicians on the campaign trail. While ABC News does not have the clout of a 24-hour news network, it has been turning a decent profit for the company in recent years.
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin, second from right, was upset over Fedida allegedly calling her "low rent."
The ouster adds her to the list of media executives who have lost their jobs after instances of racist or insensitive behavior as the country goes through reckoning on race relations following the May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who was killed in police custody in Minneapolis.
GRA:black Galen Gordon replaces Fedida,which ABC said,"would guarantee more inclusion."Actually what it guarantees is EXCLUSION--of Whites.
Twitter CEO,Jack Dorsey was on the hot seat but what caught my eye--and maybe it was some poor photography--but Dorsey looks extremely unhealthy.The pics shown,obviously cast a gaunt appearance--like he lost a lot of weight compared to photos from past years.I'm sure there are other plenty of other techno-czars that can't wait to take his place if he reboots off of planet earth.
Two stories about Jalen Rose in the NY Post--why?Who cares?

"Woman decapitated"--in the Muslim world,that's what they call "giving head".
