The Inbox....
FTVLive got a number of emails like the one we are posting below, but we thought we would share just one as they all had the same tone.
Judging by my inbox, I know a number of people are feeling this way.
Hey Scott,
Long time reader and short time patreon. Thanks for giving us the news about the news. In regards to Suzanne Scott and her hypocrisy: it makes my blood boil to read her hypocrite emails in regards to the death of Pierre Zakrzewski and Oleksandra "Sasha" Kuvshynova in Ukraine. Especially when her network allows that russian asset Tucker Carlson spew bullshit Russian Propaganda on his show. Tucker Carlson also has their blood on his hands, while propping up that dictator? How can you, as a CEO of a media organization be "sad" about something that your network, under your watch. has been used to spin in a positive light in a fascist country? Spare me the heartfelt sympathy and do something about it.
Thank you for your time.
FTVLive told you that Joe Donlon is headed for the exit at Nexstar’s News Nation. A number of people think that Donlon sold out, but at least one ex-News Nation staffer says Donlon was set up to fail.
“I think there’s more to Joe’s departure & story. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be gone from the NewsNation dumpster fire, but I’m very sure Joe wasn’t doing what he wanted. That show was not what he had signed up for. In fact, it was only after it was announced, that he really learned the intent… it’s when we all started to understand Sean and Perry’s dream. Which was not an unbiased network.
At that point he was in a contract, the show had his name on it and he was stuck.
He was the face of the show. I think he tried to do the best he could with the situation he was handed.
I hope his reputation isn’t shattered, because I have to say he is one great, kind person and have a lot of respect for him.
That said… the Trump interview was indefensible, but I do know 1) Sean Compton was standing over his shoulder at The White House and 2) it’s been reported edits were made by people who shouldn’t be involved.”
