Disney-Owned ABC "News" Cuts 75 More Employees Because They're Doing So Well and the Public Loves Them
What They're Saying:ABC News and its local stations group got hit with 75 job cuts Wednesday as part of an ongoing restructuring at parent company Disney. ABC News president Almin Karmehmedovic broke the news to staffers in a memo obtained by The Post, telling them that the network has had to make some "tough decisions." "Across the various ranks of ABC News, a limited number of our colleagues are being impacted by staff reductions," he said. "As you know this has been happening across the broader company and the industry at large in recent weeks and months."What It Means:
The exec -- who was promoted to the role of president in August after serving as executive producer of top-ranked "World News Tonight with David Muir" -- said his task is "shaping a team that embraces the new media landscape" who "evolve along with it."
A source familiar with the situation confirmed that the layoffs impacted 75 jobs across ABC News and ABC's stations group, split about evenly. The source added that no on air talent has been impacted at either division.Of course. Can't fire the "stars." Why This Is Hilarious: ABC "News" has seen a 12% ratings drop since their leftwing himbo rigged the Trump debate.
The ABC News debate may have drawn some 67 million viewers, but the network has faced nothing but headaches since. "ABC News is spiraling at the moment because there has been so much negative feedback as a result of that debate," Megyn noted. "Fair-minded people know what they did and just how biased and one-sided it was." In addition to the bombshell accusations of journalistic malfeasance from an alleged whistleblower, viewers seem to be voicing their frustration with their remotes. Muir's World News Tonight averaged 6.7 million viewers on the three days following the debate, which is about one million less than he had been averaging in the lead-up to the event. While the program remains the number one evening newscast on broadcast television, the 12 percent ratings drop was higher than the more negligible declines CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News saw over the same period.

Interesting. So the viewers who left ABC didn't go to one of the other networks to get their pablum, did they?
The others lost viewers too.
Twain's question is being answered by the actions of the public.

In my small sample size, my parents (Silent Gens) and in-laws (early Baby Boomers) still watch the networks and network newsies. As these generations leave us, the networks will have nothing. My kids (Gen Z's) and their friends hardly watch any network teevee, maybe sports, if interested. The kids are streamers. The Mrs., and I (Gen Xers) hardly watch any network crap. Maybe a sportsball game, if we are interested?

For some reason, it started sending me TikTok montages of pranks. The one I clicked on was kids telling their mom to shut up in front of their dad.
YouTube saw that and decided, "Hey, want to see bouncing boob TikTok montages?"
I actually said, "Nah. I'm good."
But then the algorithm got mad that I held off and took it one step further by spamming me with porn star interviews and such.
I've clicked a few hockey-related videos to try to balance it out but man, this thing is pretty insistent that it gets Thot in here.

Dolley works in fraud in one of the major banks, and I've learned a lot about how fraud can happen.
1. Turn on two-factor authentication.
2. Review all of your contact information in banking profiles to makes sure there aren't unexplained phone numbers. In some instances, all you need is a phone number on the account to gain full access. I had to call one of our banks to have a phone number removed from the list of recovery #s on my account, a # I've never seen before.
3. Never allow remote access of your account on your computer to a bank. They don't do that. If you have questions, it can always wait until you find a branch, if available. (There's a scam going around where scammers will convince people, usually older people, into granting them this access, faking output on the screen, and then getting the scammed to fork over literally everything with a sob story.)
4. If a bank calls you, it's always best to call the actual number of the bank back to make sure it's them.
5. Freeze your credit.
Your data is breeched. Everyone's is. People are trying to steal your money all the time.

This is a big one. It adds overhead to getting credit if you need it - you have to unfreeze accounts before applying to new credit - but it's a great and free - not that the credit bureaus are happy about that - protection mechanism.
You can also "flag" your credit reports, which is a way of telling lenders, "look carefully here, because something has happened in the past that might make you want to be *really* sure of the identity of the person applying under this profile." It's not sure-fire, but if the lender pays attention to the flag and looks more closely, it can disrupt a lot of fraudulent credit activity.
And everyone *has* been breached. TJM is spot-on. An identity verification outfit suffered a mega-breach earlier this year and now *everything* is suspect.
Those online forms you've gone through that ask things like, "which car did you own in 2015" and "which address was yours in 2021" to confirm identity? Yeah, the company behind a lot of that. And there's no way out of that. The data are in the wild.

They had a meeting over an infrastructure bill and he met Pelosi and Schumer in person.
I recall Pelosi sabotaging that meeting and then cackling about it later.
Shortly after, the Ukraine stuff picked up.
There's no doubt in my mind that Trump had a plan to really elevate the infrastructure of the country and the dems couldn't allow it.

One is to use a very secure password manager 'vault' for internet passwords that is encrypted. Some free ones out there but PC Mag and Tomshardware often have reviews of these and other security products. Encrypting your hard drive will do it too but you CANNOT lose the encryption key or you are up a certain creek.
If you are still using Windows as a daily driver, you must apply security patches when you can. Make it manually but do it at least a couple of days after the warning to patch your systems. Run anti malware software, stay away from skeezy websites, create throwaway proxy emails if you must enter sweepstakes, product registry, etc.

My problem with them isn't that they're into Disney, it's that they're kind of empty-headed about it all. They're Disney shills, never saying anything bad about anything like when She-Hulk was on and I heard him say "I liked it!" It seemed obvious in those fifteen seconds I was listening that he didn't, but he just gave it the nice soundbite and moved on.
And, when they're talking about food, which they often do trying everything in the park, it never amounts to more than, "I liked it."

It's a holdover from a prior era, and hearkens back to a time of trust. The "star" wasn't a star in the "movie star" or "rock star" sense, he was a star in the "he is trustworthy" sense. The brand was trustworthiness. It was rarely if ever actually true, but that was the carefully-crafted narrative surrounding them. They were worth the money because they were "good investigators" and/or they were "trustworthy."
But that's basically gone now, and the "news reader anchor star" is probably going to vanish. The concept is no longer broadly fit for purpose. If they're just actors - and they are - then just cycle them out frequently and keep a pretty face on TV. OANN did this early on.

Ratings. Witnessed it myself over the 30 plus years I worked in the NYC TV market. Many, who watch broadcast TV news skew older, and "personality" of the person reading the news is important to them. Hence the high salaries. Hell, I've seen a ratings increase when the news set was changed. It's a strange business.

The government is notoriously incompetent. I always tell people if you’re counting on them
In a disaster, don’t. But this is supreme incompetence to the point it appears deliberate. I keep hearing the excuse these are rural areas Well, no shit. You knew that. That’s just cover for the fact that Biden Harris and Democrats in Congress have corrupted and drained resources meant for Americans and used it for illegal immigrants and their folly in Ukraine. There are over 350 power stations down in that area and no equipment to replace them if they dry out and need it. This makes Katrina look like a Barney Song Along, and these assholes don’t care.

If you have some secure information that you need on your cell phone or something like a password list/contents and account numbers, etc. then encryption is your best bet aside from physical printouts etc. kept in locked security containers. That works too for secure encrypted thumbdrives of things like tax returns etc.
Create your US .gov authenticator application which can be used for managing various government accounts like Social Security, Veterans benefits, and even the reannounced passport renewal via online.

Some of it was in the wild, which is why there are always so many factors in identity verification questions - addresses, cars, relatives, employers, etc. Any given piece of it - or every given piece of it - could be in the wild, but the odds of *one* malefactor having *every* piece were low. Those odds skyrocketed earlier this year thanks to that breach.
And yes, it's going to move to in-person for important stuff. I-9 forms, credit applications, bank accounts, etc. are increasingly going to require a paper form with a notary seal on it. It's probably the best way to proceed given the unreliability of security.

I don't think many of our spare parts work in the USSR built plants in Ukraine. And we don't *have* emergency stocks and probably never did. And while the misuse of FEMA funds is a disgrace, disaster relief isn't on the budget, they just get more money when a disaster happens and spend it in other parts of the country, then move it to the affected areas.

I think the modern mentality of technocrats is that they push a button and a problem goes away.
This is part of why they attached to Big Tech so early and so eagerly. They could call up a number and suddenly, poof!, a problem Twitter account was gone forever. It was easy.
The point of government is to make a call and things just happen, like executing lines of code. That translates terribly to the real world, so when government is being called upon to do something in the real world, the skills it previously had to actually address those issues have atrophied to the point where it literally can't do it anymore.

The news desperately needs to get trump reelected if they want ratings to improve. I think that's why CNN allowed a sane conservative pundit to stump the lefty talking bobble heads recently. And why some gently negative Kamala news is beginning to slip through their iron curtain of all day propaganda.

AU10TIX was one such service that was hacked. Experian allowed hackers to establish new accounts with stolen information that circumvented the normal protection. Okta was another verification service hacked.
Best practices are authenticator apps or even a physical security key dongle like Yubi required for access to accounts. Also wise to subscribe to data broker removal services along with Dark Web monitoring for password, account, etc. information floating around out there for sale.
Using credit cards or payment services to pay bills remotely rather than mailing checks is also a good call.

Everybody knew it was going to hit the Big Bend hard in FL and DeSantis was ready for it and the state of Florida has performed admirably for their part.
But I don't think many people beyond the Hurricane Center and the NWS anticipated what Helene was going to do past Florida and Georgia.
Once Helene got wrapped up in that cold front that was already sitting over the area, the mountains were already soaked from days of rain, it blew out like wringing a wet sponge. It is truly an unprecedented storm for the region, at least in modern times.
None of that excuses the lack of help a week later though.

It was the top 10 percent, and then those fellows could hire their cronies and cousins in between.
The point is that in that system *every* top slot in the government was more or less expecting to get turfed out if the parties changed, unless both parties agreed that this guy was the best.

They are familiar with remnants. This time, and it was unprecedented in recent weather history, an existing cold front had been dumping flooding quantities of rain in the Appalachians several days prior to the hurricane remnants coming through with tropical storm winds. Trees will uproot if they are in saturated soils much more easily. Not enough time for a hurricane remnant to do that. This was a hurricane on top of an already flooded by 6-8 or more in spot rainfall over several days prior to the hurricane remnants.
