All of this is a lie. Anyone who has visited recently knows the KC was not "in a virtual state of collapse," and anyone who can read a tax filing can see that it was not "losing hundreds of millions of dollars". In fact, its finances were pretty healthy UNTIL Trump trashified it.

The “democratization” of media has given us a new creator economy where two-thirds of news influencers are men, at the same time that the legacy newsrooms they’re replacing had started achieving gender parity. 🤔
