In a bombshell leak from @PinkNewsStaff on X, Pink News’ CEO Benjamin Cohen has been recorded signalling his intent to abandon the trans community to instead focus on being an “entertainment powerhouse”.
In the leaked recording Benjamin is captured stating “We have to be careful.” “It’s the role of others to change narratives”, going on to further say that covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.
This revelation comes two weeks after pinknews removed their trans category from the website.
@PinkNewsStaff joined X in May 2024 and has been releasing several other allegations about the outlet, claiming there is a toxic culture of bullying, harassment and discrimination at PinkNews.
Leaked audio in the linked article.
There’s Xtra, it’s Canada based but covers some American and international stuff too, and it doesn’t shy away from trans issues.
Cool will use this going forward. I didn’t browse pinknews that much but I’d just rather avoid products ran by bigots where I can.
