Every time we see a round of media layoffs a wave of entitlement flows from some working in that industry which is simply incredible. Media types to a large degree yawned when Hillary Clinton promised to put coal country out of work or when the Biden administration ended Keystone, but suddenly "democracy" itself is threatened when journalists are affected by market conditions or are merely being held accountable for their job performances.
Today a shakeup at CBS' 60 Minutes was announced, and among the changes was reporter Cecilia Vega (along with others) being sent packing.

Gee, why would somebody who's trying to do actual journalism have had a problem with her?
I don't know why, she's obviously un-biased and straight down the middle.
