I said "not pro-Trump enough". I did not said "anti Trump". Yes, it is long standing conservative tradition to call yourself victim when having pro-you bias.

2.) It was not free of that pressure, it was just not that super high yet.

My case is that sex alone wont make it. It is easy to make my case, you are kind making it for me by adding more reasons why it was not just afair on itself.

I'm supporting your argument by offering a straightforward, easily proved counter-argument to it? You're wrong, it's that easy.

> I said "not pro-Trump enough". I did not said "anti Trump".

He was not ousted from CNN for not being pro-Trump enough. If anyone at CNN ousted him for politics-related reasons, it would have been because he was too pro-Trump. Because he was, for example, helping Trump before the election debates, offering to have a weekly show with him etc. This pissed off a lot of his colleagues.

None of that is why he was fired (not least because it would have happened a lot sooner than 2022).

He was fired because he broke corporate rules in a way that embarrassed them when they were trying to boot out Chris Cuomo for being a genuine abusive boss.

That is the reason, end of story.
