RT America ceases productions and lays off most of its staff

New York (CNN Business)RT America will cease productions and lay off most of its staff, according to a memo from T&R Productions, the production company behind the Russian state-funded network, which CNN obtained.

Misha Solodovnikov, the general manager of T&R Productions, told staff in the memo that it will be "ceasing production" at all of its locations "as a result of unforeseen business interruption events."

"Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations," Solodovnikov wrote.

T&R Productions operated offices in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.

intro paragraph. I usually don't nitpick, but this makes it sound like CNN bought RT.

Never heard of that shithole site until well after I joined here, but I occasionally go look at the firehose of shitbaggery that goes on over in that fetid little cesspool, just for the lulz.

Maybe it will be the international version of RT. Of course Rumble is a total joke.

Gee, look how easy it was to get rid of them once there was an ounce of effort to do it.
