ND Suspended in Sin City
/
Cristi Jessee
FTVLive was the FIRST to tell you that Meredith had suspended KVVU News Director Cristi Jessee for her role in the Laura Loomer scandal at the station.
Jessee has been cozying up to Loomer and was this/closer to hiring the hard right racist to work for the station.
Meredith stepped in and stopped the hire after a story appeared on FTVLive.
Staffers inside KVVU believe that Jesee is also leaking information about them to Loomer. Loomer has attacked KVVU newsroom staffers on Twitter.
Yesterday, the staff was told that Jessee had been suspended, but a number of staffers don't think that is enough.
Todd Brown
"She needs to be fired and the General Manager and Meredith know that," said one staffer to FTVLive.
Staffers say that Jessee is "very tight" with KVVU GM Todd Brown and they fear that relationship will be what saves Jessee's job at the station.
But, sources tell FTVLive that Jessee's future is now well above Brown's head and is in the hands of Meredith corporate. One would think that Meredith would do the right thing and send Jessee to the curb.
Time will tell if the suspension becomes a firing.
If it doesn't, it's going to be one very awkward newsroom to work in.
Just saying...
BTW- A tip of the cap to Las Vegas Review columnist John Katsilometes who made sure to give FTVLive credit for breaking the Laura Loomer story in his column. Always nice to run across someone with the integrity to give credit where credit is due.
