Goodbye Los Angeles, Hello Nashville…

Conservative news and opinion company The Daily Wire announced plans to move from Southern California to Nashville,Tennessee via Twitter Wednesday. 

Company co-founder and talk show host, Ben Shapiro said the state’s “terrible governance” was one of the main reasons why The Daily Wire is leaving its Sherman Oaks headquarters. 

“I’ve lived my entire life in California. Within weeks, we’ll be taking our 75 jobs and leaving,” the tweet read. 

Company co-founders Jeremy Boreing and Caleb Robinson also reacted to the news. Boreing has lived in Los Angeles for two decades. He said the state’s good weather is not enough to keep them there. 

“But it’s hubris to think you can keep making it worse and worse for people and that somehow the idea of temperate winters will be enough to make them stay forever,” Boreing said. 

About 80 percent of the company’s employees are expected to make the move down south. 

The Ben Shapiro Show is the fifth most downloaded podcast according to PODTRAC. The Daily Wire has grown exponentially since its launch back in 2015.

Changes are coming to the online media outlet The Recount, as Axios reports that they’re planning to restructure its business. 

As a result, cuts are expected in the next few weeks, and its chief content officer Ryan Kadro has left the company after coming aboard last October, which was announced during an all-staff meeting. 

Furthermore, Axios states that Kadro and their board have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. The reported reason for these cuts is the reevaluating strategies The Recount is doing as it looks to build a new leadership team. 

Launching in 2019, the outlet had plans to raise money in the near future, but those goals have been put on hold. Kadro, a longtime television news producer, oversaw the company’s day-to-day editorial strategy and programming since coming aboard. 

The Recount focuses on short-form political videos across streaming and social media, and their main focus was on politics. Still, since President Joe Biden took office, the company has widened its emphasis to broader video news as the appetite for political content has waned in the Biden era.

Streaming service Fox Nation will premiere a four-part documentary series about Sharon Osbourne called “Sharon Osbourne: To Hell & Back.” The series will debut in September.

The network said viewers will catch a glimpse at Osbourne’s personal and professional life, highlighting how she found herself in the crosshairs of the cancel culture movement after exiting CBS’s “The Talk.”

In a statement obtained by Barrett News Media, FOX Nation President Jason Klarman said, “We are excited to be the place that Sharon chose to tell her incredible story.”

The documentary will also include insight and personal stories from her husband, music legend Ozzy Osbourne along with their children, Jack and Kelly Osbourne.

“From her remarkable career as a music manager, to creating television’s first celebrity reality show, to her dramatic exit from The Talk, Sharon will take viewers behind the scenes of it all,” said Klarman.

Previously, Osbourne held roles on several television programs, including NBC’s America’s Got Talent, X-Factor, and The Celebrity Apprentice, among others. Additionally, for more than three decades, she managed several notorious musicians, including Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Electric Light Orchestra, Smashing Pumpkins, and Motorhead. 

“FOX Nation subscribers will have an unbridled look into the toll the cancel culture phenomenon had on my life and career,” Osbourne. “I hope telling my story for the first time will help audiences understand the impact this movement can have on individuals and families.”

Elon Musk attended Monday night’s Met Gala, marking the first public appearance since his $44-billion purchase of Twitter, and of course, one of the topics of conversation was his plans for the social media giant.

The Tesla CEO spoke with the Associated Press, laying out his initial plans for Twitter, the first being an inclusive platform where everyone in the United States. 

“The goal that I have, should everything come to fruition with Twitter, is to have a service that is as broadly inclusive as possible where ideally most of America is on it and talking!” Musk said.

“I’m looking for something that’s as broadly inclusive as possible, that’s as trusted as possible as a system, and I hope we are successful in that regard.”

Furthermore, Musk discussed getting rid of bots, spammers, and trolls on the platform, making a pledge to make sure users on Twitter are talking to real people. 

“I’ve also vowed this publicly that we have to get rid of the bots, trolls, scams, and everything,” Musk said. “That’s obviously diminishing the user experience, and we don’t want people to get tricked out of their money.”

“I’m on the war path!” he concluded. “If somebody is operating a bot and troll army, then I’m definitely their enemy!”
