LEX18, the Lexington real news station that employs one minority anchor and took a stand on racial injustice by firing Lee Cruse, announced today that it would be permanently removing Matt Jones from the show he created, Hey Kentucky, for an equally offensive act of speaking ill against Republican Senator Mitch McConnell.
The move follows a string of departures from the station that have alienated pretty much every type of audience member we can think of, leaving many people to wonder what viewers LEX18 might try to alienate next.
“We figure we might be able to alienate some of Bill Meck’s viewers, and maybe some of the people who think Alan Cutler still works here, but after that it’s slim pickings,” LEX18 said in a press release. “I mean, Kevin Christopher is a great guy, but he’s probably only pulling in friends and relatives at this point.”
Amy McGrath’s Morning Oatmeal, a morning show where McGrath just made extended eye contact with the audience while slurping oatmeal, has been preemptively cancelled.
