April 24, 2023 News and Notes

• At least FIVE major cable news outlet talents have been fired, and a CEO of one of the three major networks ousted as well in the last 72 or so hours:
• Tucker Carlson and
• Dan Bognino are out at FOX "News"
• Don Lemon is out at CNN
• And yet another "inappropriate relationship" (read: job qualification and he pissed someone off BIG) has claimed no less than the CEO of NBCUniversal, Jeff Shell.
• The only question is who did you piss off...
• Or is this a function of the cows coming home to roost and the conservative bend of a lot of recent "news" media is biting in the ass, given the Dominion settlement?
• MORE 10:45 AM PDT:  Jeannine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo, two of the Republican thousand-yard-stare whores at Fox "News", are out.
• Fox "News" viewers are preparing to move even further to the right, to Newsmax, etc.
• Atlanta's Dejounte Murray is under investigation for a contact altercation with an official after the Game 4 loss to Boston.  That might be Game 5 AND games next season.   
• This would, in fact, be his second offense at a game official -- he was fined $20000 for throwing a ball at the legs of an official in February of 2022.
• Should've been more, but he got only Game 5.  Suspended one game.
• The main judge of Dancing With the Stars, Len Goodman, passed away today.  He was 78.  He was the one who gave the dignified air to the table.
• The Aaron Rodgers trade just went down past about 4 PM Eastern today!
• The Packers gain two spots in the first round (15-13), the Jets 2023 2nd, a 2023 Jets 6th, and a 2024 pick which is either 1st or 2nd -- it's a 1 if Rodgers plays 65% of the snaps.
• The Jets get a fifth-rounder from the Pack, as well as the pick flip in 2023 Round 1.
