CNN quietly disbands ‘Race and Equality' team as part of layoffs
[NY Post] CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
quietly disbanded its "Race and Equality" team of reporters as part of a major restructuring that included firing 100 staffers this week, according to a report.

There were three reporters that made up the unit, which was created by former CNN president Jeff Zucker in the aftermath of the police killing of Saint George Floyd
...The patron saint of Minneapolis...
in Minneapolis in 2020.

One of the journalists was fired while the other two were reassigned to other departments, according to a newsletter written by black journalist Phil Lewis.

A network spokesperson first claimed the Race and Equality team was not disbanded before admitting to Lewis that it will longer exist as a mission-oriented unit.

"For all intents and purposes, the team is not a team anymore," the spokesperson said.

"They’re assigned to different areas so that [their] perspective and work is brought into all of our types of programming. It’s not a unit in the way it was before, but [race and equality] is very much still their focus."

The Post has sought comment from CNN.

We're down to a pair of free agents.

It's fake-news. Everybody knows they don't have "reporters".
