Over the past year or so, we saw many news organization owners pump the brakes on the radical leftism present in publications and programming. However, it turns out that many of the lower-ranking employees, including writers and even on-air stars, are fighting these changes.

From Fox News. Many prominent mainstream news organizations are facing an “inmates-running-the-asylum situation” after liberal employees have failed to get on the same page with business-minded bosses, according to media critics.

The ownership of the Washington Post, as well as the Los Angeles Times, irked staffers when ending the decades-long practice of endorsing presidential candidates last year and continued to bother liberal employees with recent changes to their opinion sections. MSNBC’s biggest stars have gone on-air to condemn network management and other newsroom overlords have been publicly rebuked by their staff.  While many media leaders continue to turn a blind eye to the liberal groupthink that has infiltrated newsrooms, others have pushed back on disgruntled employees. …

The latest example came when Martin Varsavsky, a Jewish tech mogul who sits on Politico parent company Axel Springer’s supervisory board, accused the outlet of “one sided Hamas support.”

Politico published an Associated Press report headlined, “Israel hits Gaza with new airstrikes that kill at least 200,” that did not go over well with Varsavsky.

Last year, Soon-Shiong and Bezos sparked internal backlash when they nixed planned endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris from their respective papers. …
