Cristi Jessee describes herself as "Not your typical news director." 

When FTVLive FIRST broke the news that KVVU News Director Cristi Jessee had been talking to activist Laura Loomer and many feared she was looking to give her a role at the station, it got the attention of other Las Vegas newsies. 

FTVLive told you how Journalists inside KVVU were scared that Jesse who insiders say told the staff that "Laura Loomer is doing a better job than any reporter we have."

Some staffers have said they would quit if Loomer was hired. 

Even staffers at other stations showed their support for the rank and file at KVVU.

Ian Russell works across the street at KLAS and tweeted this:

Loomer fired back saying:

This tweet proves that Loomer has no clue how a real newsroom works. 

No, Cristi Jesse cannot do whatever she wants. That's not how it works. 

In fact, word is that after reading the FTVLive story, Meredith corporate is now planning a station visit to talk to Jesse, GM Todd Brown and the staff. 

It looks like Loomer will not be joining the station and if Jesse is still employed by the time the Meredith suits leave, it would be surprising. 

"Jesse has lost all confidence in the newsroom," said one staffer to FTVLive.
