“Pride Month” is over and a day to be proud of, the Fourth of July, is upon us! But a news director, his assistant and two staffers from WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids, Michigan will spend the holiday trying to figure out where to work next.

WOOD-TV is owned by Nexstar Media Group, the largest owner of local television broadcast stations in the country. Nexstar claims on their website to “foster a culture of diversity and inclusion…so no one feels discriminated against.”

While TheDesk claims this is a “rare instance of a news executive encouraging reporters to sideline stories based on the political affiliations of its viewers,” one could argue it is simply promoting a “fair and balanced” story. The memo encouraged reporters to refrain from covering every pride event, and rather just focus on the ones that were actually newsworthy.
