Bloomberg scrapped PR rollout of Olivia Nuzzi's show after leftwing backlash following her damning Biden story
Bloomberg allegedly scrapped major promotion of its new television show hosted by journalist Olivia Nuzzi over left-wing backlash stemming from her damning report about President Biden.
It was announced in early July that Nuzzi, New York Magazine's star Washington correspondent, would be hosting a six-episode interview series called "Working Capital," in which she interviewed prominent people in the political and business world. The announcement came just days after Nuzzi penned a bombshell story putting a spotlight on the "conspiracy of silence" surrounding Biden's mental decline and the first episode was released on July 17.
Semafor reported Sunday that Bloomberg shelved its "splashy PR rollout" for Nuzzi's show "in response to a small Twitter campaign against the journalist by Democrats."
According to Semafor, after her article, online liberal critics circulated early 2010s tweets she wrote joking about conspiracy theories targeting then-President Obama, claiming they were evidence of racism and demanded Bloomberg fire her.

Nuzzi said she was "disappointed" by Bloomberg's response to the far-left mob in a statement to Fox News Digital, which she previously provided to Semafor.
