One of the most viral moments in the network&#8217;s history was during a 1994 town hall about violence in America with then-President Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Mr. President, the world&#8217;s dying to know, is it boxers or briefs?&#8221; the woman asked Clinton.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Usually briefs,&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe she did that.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Their exchange became <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-one-in-six-biden-voters-would-have-changed-their-vote-if-they-had-known-about-scandals-suppressed-by-media\/\" title=\"Poll: One In Six Biden Voters Would Have Changed Their Vote If They Had Known About Scandals Suppressed By Media\">national news<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<h3>The End of an Era<\/h3>\n<p>MTV News was much smaller and less popular in recent years than in the 1990s and early 2000s. It was slimmed down in 2017 following a failed campaign to compete with outlets like Vice and Buzzfeed, which have also been struggling lately.<\/p>\n<p>Fans and former employees shared their thoughts about the shuttering of MTV News on social media.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;This is a very sad day for a lot of friends and colleagues,&#8221; MTV personality Josh Horowitz said in a tweet. &#8220;Many great people lost their jobs. I was hired by MTV News 17 years ago. I&#8217;m so honored to have been a small part of its history. Wishing the best for the best in the business.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Wow! MTV News announced it will be shutting down &#8211; literally the end of an era,&#8221; TV host Aliya Jasmine said. &#8220;Huge part of my career was anchoring this iconic show for over a decade&#8230; formed me, formed a few generations&#8230; wow.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;MTV News got an entire generation of Gen Xers and older millennials to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/an-inside-look-at-californias-radical-new-k-12-curriculum\/\" title=\"An Inside Look At California\u2019s Radical New K-12 Curriculum\">start paying attention<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-civil-rights-agency-sends-email-to-employees-with-quote-from-anti-semitic-author-alice-walker\/\" title=\"Federal Civil Rights Agency Sends Email To Employees With Quote From Anti-Semitic Author Alice Walker\">global events<\/a>, politics, the world.
