Didn't Harry Potter kill this stupid looking bitch with a magic wand in one of his movies?
Charlie LeDuff, the polarizing Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who has increasingly peddled right-wing outrage on his podcast, was fired from the Detroit News after using a vulgar, coded phrase aimed at Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
LeDuff came under fire over the weekend for telling Nessel in a social media post, “See you next Tuesday,” a backronym for the word “cunt.” It’s often written, “C U Next Tuesday.””
In an email to reporters on Saturday, Detroit News editor and publisher Gary Miles said LeDuff had been fired.
“While we stand by the journalism that we have published under his byline, I could not envision moving forward with his weekly column in light of recent events,” Miles wrote.
All these guys who are good friends with Tucker Carlson keep getting "fired." Looks like Tucker is picking his team. Just like his buddy Alexander McCaskill over at FOX who got fired for calling Biden a "wanna be dictator." (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/jun/16/fox-news-wannabe-dictator-producer-alexander-mccaskill);)
“I’m not apologizing. I have nothing to apologize for. … I stand by it,” LeDuff says. “I said something clever on my own space because I am fucking pissed.”
LeDuff alleged in a Detroit News column last week that Nessel “subtly pressured her staff to close” an investigation into a friend, Traci Kornack, a personal injury lawyer and treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party. Kornack was accused of bilking an insurance company out of nearly $50,000 by using the account of an elderly, brain-damaged client.
In a news release a day after the column was published, Nessel denied wrongdoing, and her acting chief legal counsel, Linus Banghart-Linn, accused LeDuff of sloppy, sensational journalism in a letter to the Detroit News.
Oh, so there was a reason LeDuff called this Harry Potter Villain the c-bomb. There usually is a reason. ;)
