ABC News “entirely gutted” the staff working on the third hour of its flagship morning show “Good Morning America” — also known as “GMA3” — as part of the layoffs that were mandated by corporate parent Walt Disney Co, according to a report.
Catherine McKenzie, the executive producer of “GMA3,” was let go as part of the layoffs that were announced by network boss Almin Karamehmedovic, according to the Status newsletter.

Awww. No sympathy.
A TV show that no one watches. What did they think would be the outcome? Perhaps they should have figured out a way to be interesting and attract viewers.
I know, an insane and radical idea that could never happen at ABC.

Legacy media needs to give up their constant leftist propaganda. Hacking off over half of your potential viewers is not a good business plan. Ad rates are based on ratings and I would guess their ratings have been falling, so cutting millions in salaries is probably a good financial move. Maybe an entertaining show like The Five would be better. The panel leans right, but for balance, they have Harold Miles Jr who is a thoughtful Democrat and Jessica Turlov who gets a little cranky sometimes but can still laugh and take a joke. They also have a good cast and they all seem to have a good time.

Poster #4, McDonald's is hiring. I hear they have an opening in one of their restaurants because an employee left to become the 47th President of the United States.

I can only laugh at those unemployed leftwing pukes. Wonder if it will dawn on them at all as to WHY they were fired? I really doubt it. ''Maybe we were too conservative.''

I actually know some people who still watch GMA. Incredible how impervious they are to the lies they're being fed. Fortunately I'm not around them when that "show" is airing. I think they are slowly coming to the realization they might need to change who they are listening to.

No more USAID money coming in for paid lies. Take a hike ABC. When do we dump NPR and PBS? When does Schiff make his perp walk?

I can't work up much sympathy for these people - I'm saving it for the people who lost their jobs on the Keystone pipeline, and in the oil industry over the past four years.

"Other prominent managers who were cut include Cindy Galli, an executive producer on ABC’s investigations team, which has focused on stories about government fraud, corporate corruption and consumer advocacy."

The irony and Karma of all this is hilarious. They're being told to do more with fewer people to end waste. Maybe Musk can help them out. AND those getting kicked to the curb are mostly WOKE and DEI women. I love it all.

I wonder when the protests from media and federal workers will begin. I guess since ABC is a private company the employees aren't considered essential like every federal worker.
