Insiders: Vegas Station is a Mess Under Current ND
/FTVLive has told you that KVVU (Las Vegas) has suspended News Director Cristi Jessee after she tried to hire hard right racist Laura Loomer.
While the Loomer scandal might be Jessee's last straw, insiders tell FTVLive that the station was a trainwreck before Loomer even entered the picture.
Insiders tell FTVLive that between Jessee and her Assistant News Director Judy Green it's modern version on mean girls.
Sources say that since Jessee has been ND, six newsroom managers have quit - not fired - quit. At least FOUR of them without securing another job first.
Those that left:
- 2 executive producers
- 2 content managers (desk and digital)
- 1 desk manager
- 1 digital manager
Sources tell FTVLive that, "according to one Anchor, after speaking up about journalistic standards and morals, Jessee quipped back, “Easy Cronkite” … clearly setting the stage for what is being seen now."
In her Twitter bio, Jessee claims she is "Not Your Typical News Director."
Time will tell if she is a News Director at all.
Stay tuned....
