Fox News Lays Off Entire Unit of Journalists, And Things May Soon Get Even Worse: Report

A new report says Fox News is cutting staff, but the scope and reasoning for the layoffs are still under debate.

• According to a report in Rolling Stone, Fox News dissolved its investigative unit on Friday.
• The report linked the layoffs to the $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, which had sued Fox for defamation.
• A report in the New York Daily News offered a different take. Changes to the investigative unit have “nothing to do with Dominion,” according to what a “source with knowledge of the situation” told the Daily News.

Fox News Under Fire for Layoffs and Tensions

Investigative Unit Staff Moved to Different Positions

According to a source quoted by the Daily News, Fox News’ investigative unit staff has been moved to different positions within the company and has not been conducting investigations. This news comes as Fox News is facing criticism for recent layoffs.

Tensions Within Fox News

A Rolling Stone report hinted at tensions within Fox News, with one employee source quoted as saying, “The outrage is that Suzanne Scott and Maria Bartiromo keep their jobs. Meanwhile, the journalists get let go. We are in shock.” The report also mentioned the recent removal of host Tucker Carlson from the airwaves, which was reportedly an unwritten promise from Fox News to Dominion.

Claims and Counterclaims

Variety reported that Carlson learned the reason for his show’s cancellation during a conversation with a Fox News board member, who informed him that it was an unwritten condition of the settlements with Dominion. However, both Dominion and Fox News have pushed back against this claim.
