Fox News Lays Off Nearly 20 Staffers – Including A Politics Editor by wwwihy: 2:00am On Jan 20, 2021
Fox News laid off nearly 20 staffers across Fox News Digital on Tuesday as part of restructuring efforts first announced last year.

Included in the layoffs is digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt, who joined the network in 2010 and recently worked on Fox News’ Decision Desk during the 2020 election.

“As we conclude the 2020 election cycle, Fox News Digital has realigned its business and reporting structure to meet the demands of this new era,” a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement. “We are confident these changes will ensure the platform continues to deliver breakthrough reporting and insightful analysis surrounding major issues, both stateside and abroad.”

The spokesperson declined to comment on individuals affected by the layoffs, citing employee confidentiality.

All staffers who are included in the layoffs will be given enhanced severance and benefits packages, a person familiar with the matter said.

Last September, Fox News instituted layoffs across multiple divisions — notably hair and makeup — as part of the restructuring efforts. The layoffs impacted less than 3% of the total workforce, and no on-air talent were affected.

FOX news is same as AIT. When PDP lost the election in 2015 some staff were laid off and salaries not paid to some staff. They both benefit from the government in power.

Propaganda news organisation.
I always wonder how fully grown white adults would just watch and broadcast one corrupt man's barefaced lies.
They are losing viewership and I wish they never recover from the lies they helped Trump to perpetuate.

They can’t recover because the Trump made them popular and with the events of the coming months about Trump’s trial at the senate and other cases from New York will make FOX news become irrelevant.
Also Trump might start his own television station.
