In a bombshell leak from @PinkNewsStaff on X, Pink News’ CEO Benjamin Cohen has been recorded signalling his intent to abandon the trans community to instead focus on being an “entertainment powerhouse”.

In the leaked recording Benjamin is captured stating “We have to be careful.” “It’s the role of others to change narratives”, going on to further say that covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.

This revelation comes two weeks after pinknews removed their trans category from the website.

@PinkNewsStaff joined X in May 2024 and has been releasing several other allegations about the outlet, claiming there is a toxic culture of bullying, harassment and discrimination at PinkNews.

    Erin is usually the most thorough source for the US, i hope somebody can name a comparable British outlet as well given that it’s on the forefront of fighting against trans rights in the imperial core and has some of the most openly transphobic journalists even outside of conservative sites.
