Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind Sesame Street, is cutting staff in an effort to “downsize significantly”, its president and CEO, Sherrie Rollins Westin, told employees this week. The news of layoffs at the organization came just shortly after more than 200 employees at Sesame Workshop revealed their plans to unionize and comes several months after Warner Bros Discovery decided not to renew the distribution deal for new episodes of Sesame Street, the long-running, beloved children’s program.
In an email to staff on Wednesday, Rollins Westin told employees that Sesame Workshop was not “immune to the current economic challenges inherent to the drastically changing media landscape” and that the end of their distribution deal combined with policy changes affecting their federal funding made them “confronted with a perfect storm”.
“These factors, among others, have left us with a significant budget gap that we must solve as we head into the next fiscal year,” she added. Rollins Westin said that the company’s largest single expense is people and benefits, and that the company therefore must “downsize significantly and make what we hope will be temporary changes to our benefits and bonus program”.....
I am surprised more Americans aren't offended by the propaganda offered up as news by the mainstream media since it involves electing the next President of the United States. Are all the supporters of Hillary Clinton really 'unaware and compliant" ?
Take the Hillary Clinton wikileaks coverage versus the last minute smear campaign against Donald Trump as an example. Take a look at PBS's coverage of the two topics. Keep in mind, David Brooks is the 'conservative' on the panel who takes Clinton Cash.
Other things to watch for in the following PBS NewsHour clip include time dedicated to each story, the tone and the followup. Trump talk dominates the segment and the Democrat on the panel is much less dismissive of the wikileaks emails than the NYTimes 'conservative' David Brooks. PBS loaded the panel and failed to presents two sides to the stories. The segment is over 12 minutes long so start your watches on the Hillary email segment after the 9 minute mark.
How would a reporter or columnist corer the Hillary Clinton email scandal and wikileaks revelations? Here is a rare example from Kim Strassel at WSJ
As reporters focus on Trump, they miss new details on Clinton’s rotten record.
excerpt:
Start with a June 2015 email to Clinton staffers from Erika Rottenberg, the former general counsel of LinkedIn. Ms. Rottenberg wrote that none of the attorneys in her circle of friends “can understand how it was viewed as ok/secure/appropriate to use a private server for secure documents AND why further Hillary took it upon herself to review them and delete documents.” She added: “It smacks of acting above the law and it smacks of the type of thing I’ve either gotten discovery sanctions for, fired people for, etc.”
A few months later, in a September 2015 email, a Clinton confidante fretted that Mrs. Clinton was too bullheaded to acknowledge she’d done wrong. “Everyone wants her to apologize,” wrote Neera Tanden, president of the liberal Center for American Progress. “And she should. Apologies are like her Achilles’ heel.”
Clinton staffers debated how to evade a congressional subpoena of Mrs. Clinton’s emails—three weeks before a technician deleted them. The campaign later employed a focus group to see if it could fool Americans into thinking the email scandal was part of the Benghazi investigation (they are separate) and lay it all off as a Republican plot.
Subpoena? What subpoena ?
The cover-up and collusion has gone on long enough. Hillary for Prison 2016.
