Scoop: Status has obtained the termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social, in which it informed her that she was being fired for social media posts "about white men." Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/karen-atti...

Scoop: The Wall Street Journal is working on a story highlighting Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein—but is said to be facing pressure from the White House, with Trump himself calling Editor-In-Chief Emma Tucker to object. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/wall-stree...

Anne Applebaum: "If American media can’t convey how dangerous this behavior is—for our prosperity, for our health, for our democracy—then American media will eventually cease to exist." More from our convo in @status.news: www.status.news/p/anne-apple...

NBC News has quietly started paywalling a large chunk of its online stories (especially exclusives and sourced stories), leading to some internal friction with reporters, I'm told. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/nbc-news-p...

Katie Couric tells @nataliekorach.bsky.social that she gives the broadcast news networks a "D," warning that "there is probably some anticipatory obedience" and that Brendan Carr has chilled speech. Read the Q&A in @status.news: www.status.news/p/katie-cour...

"Carr has handed Trump’s media allies precisely what they have been asking for: a path to get even bigger, with fewer restrictions standing in their way," @passantino.bsky.social writes in his @status.news column. Read it here: www.status.news/p/brendan-ca...

Well, this is awkward: Tony Dokoupil is on vacation, and his substitute anchor is delivering the show's best ratings in months, surging past 4 million viewers last week. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

Frustration is mounting behind the scenes as the Nancy Guthrie case remains unsolved six months later. "Instead of advancing the case, Pima County and the FBI are playing the blame game," a source told me. "That is unacceptable when a kidnapper remains at large." www.status.news/p/nancy-guth...

Scoop: "60 Minutes" is facing more brain drain. I'm told Madeleine Carlisle—a well-regarded associate producer at the newsmagazine, who also happens to be the daughter of Stephen Colbert—resigned from the program in recent days. Details in @status.news: link.status.news/4wLyA4i

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...

Scoop: New "60 Minutes" boss Nick Bilton sent a memo to staff about leaks, which naturally leaked to @status.news. Details here: www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

In recent days, The WaPo's opinion editor Adam O'Neal engaged in private convos in which he struck a triumphant and boasted he had moved the section to the right. But now he's out at the Jeff Bezos-owned paper. More from @nataliekorach.bsky.social in @status.news: www.status.news/p/adam-oneal...
