The CNN Reporter Found Liable for Deliberately Defaming the Navy Vet Announces His Sad! Departure from CNN

I can't help but notice that a ton of #Resistance "journalists" have been fired by the leftwing media over the past year.

There have been a lot of reports that Hollywood studios and game studios have decided to use the cover of their plunging income to fire a lot of their wokest, worst-performing activists, too.

Woke activists and DEI employees are luxury expenditures. You can only afford their wealth-destroying presence when times are so good you can still make money even deliberately attempting to lose it.

Once you've had a string of $300 million bombs (in both movies and videogames), it's time to tighten the belt and shed the Woke Wealth-Destroyers.

Is that why CNN has parted ways with this professional defamer who cost the company at least $5 million?

That's my guess.

But who knows, maybe he's just really hot to get in on this Podcast Hustle he's heard so much about.

In a Monday morning X post, chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt announced that he would be leaving CNN "after 8 terrific years." But Marquardt's departure comes four months after he cost the network several million dollars and tarnished their reputation with a maliciously defamatory report against Navy veteran Zachary Young.
"Some personal news: I'm leaving CNN after 8 terrific years," he wrote to his followers.
Adding: "Tough to say goodbye but it's been an honor to work among the very best in the business. Profound thank you to my comrades on the National Security team & the phenomenal teammates I've worked with in the US and abroad."

Marquardt was at the center of a January defamation trial as his reporting about Young, a security contractor who was coordinating efforts to get innocent people out of Afghanistan, was found to be maliciously defamatory and cost CNN $5 million in economic and emotional damages, plus an undisclosed amount in punitive damages.
Through discovery, messages between Marquardt and his "phenomenal teammates" (as he described them) proved that he had targeted Young with actual and pressed malice. He had boasted to an editor that he was "going to nail this Zachary Young mfucker," and he agreed with another co-worker that Young had a "punchable face."
During the trial, it came to light that Marquardt had fabricated a call with Young, falsely giving the impression that he tried really hard to get a hold of him before the story went to air. In footage that was left on the cutting room floor, but was played for the jury, he joyfully called the fake phone call "theater!"

Chief National Security Correspondent Alex Marquardt has been fired in disgrace after reporting misinformation that cost the network over $5 million following a defamation trial. https://t.co/lY1Hn3xbPY

We kid - but these ruling class money men *do* make sure these scum reporters find a soft landing.

What possible reason is there for paying someone like, say, Jonah Goldberg to be an agent of influence? He has no influence. He's an obese, jiggling tub of mediocrity who nobody pays any mind.

But that's the point of dead-end money pits like the Bullwork and the Cuckpatch. When a reporter is discredited they get a lifeline of fake jobs because every young larva who works for the Party needs to see the example of fat, blotchy old good-for-nothing retards getting put out to pasture to live out their days in comfort.

If they sent these guys off to the glue factory it would shake the confidence of the other crooks.

Leftists do this and get a BETTER paying gig with no actual work in the lefty NGO space.

Want to know why there is always a leftist popping up to do something to advance their goals? Because they get paid to do so.

Here in Israel, ever since USAID and other NGOs stopped receiving funds, the local color revolution, best seen via the anti-Netnayahu progressive "Kaplanist" protest movement, is down to a fraction of its activity and poster plastering from beforehand. But they still have money coming in, just much less.

208 Been watching a play-through of Borderlands 2.

9:46 just the main mission, no side quests.
And after the 1st play-through, you can play on hard mode.
For all 4 playable characters.
And that's before the several add-on missions. And new characters.

One $80 or so game and you'd get near 78 hours of play.
That's solo the main.
Add side quests and easily double that time.
You could also co-op and do it all with friends.

I didn't realize how much value was there for my entertainment $.
Or: F me, I had no idea how much time I wasted on that game.

Plus, he didn't think twice about fucking over his friend Oliver Sipple, when Sipple saved Gerald Ford's life from Sara Jane Moore when she tried to assassinate him. Sipple was a Marine Vietnam vet who happened to be in the crowd when she pulled a pistol and fired a couple of shots. He reached her before the Secret Service.

Milk decided that the homo community needed a hero, to offset their reputation as a bunch of pedos, so he outed Sipple to Herb Caen who wrote about Sipple in his newspaper column. All without Sipple's permission. It ruined Sipple's family relationship and alienated the poor guy, and he died destitute in his early 40s.

There's no question that the Continental Army became a more orderly and professional fighting force under Von Steuben's guidance, and that was an achievement of great magnitude. What makes it more impressive is that he barely spoke any English, and had to rely on a small reserve of profanity, hand gestures, and physically forcing soldiers into the right position.

We have the first paragraph now. We also have a lot of aggregators like Ace and the Duran who do a better job. And as the anime cat girl and gamer Asmongold show, Youtube and other streamers are already good news deliverers with the spin you prefer and more attachment to their viewers who pay them directly. The MSM is dead because even the shadowy Dark world can't make us watch the MSM. They will need to co-opt other sources to deliver their spin.
