Health Secretary suggests reviewing violence incitement protections following arrest of disgraced former comedian who told followers on X to assault trans women.
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.
Pink News removed the transgender category from their website in early August.
@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.
Update: Pink News appears to have begun covering serious trans issues once more, after Skittles dropped their campaign.
