“Please cover the story of why Axios fired reporter Ben Montgomery over his characterization of Ron DeSantis’s press team’s press release as propaganda. The termination sounds unjust, and it’s making me reflect on the state of journalism, and how Axios is carrying it out. As a lay person, I’d appreciate an explanation of the journalistic “ethics” that prompted this decision. I fervently agree that journalists should maintain neutrality and objectivity. Here, it seems Montgomery was not being partisan so much as actually trying to uphold journalistic integrity. Florida turns more and more Orwellian, and Montgomery was trying to point that out.”
