SHAME ON YOU for kowtowing to conservative propagandists. Firing someone for CORRECTLY calling propaganda as such? I unfollowed Axios & will no longer watch your show nor read your news reports. Disgusted.

Axios is afraid of Ron Desantis, fires its own reporter for calling him out. = Cowards! Axios is NOT on the side of free speech & the truth! That thing Americans call Democracy is clearly what you don't stand for! Wth is wrong with Axios? Traitors!🤬

Don't care about your excuses, you're Vichy

Y’all are canceled and I’m telling 600 friends

Axios is not a legitimate news company. You are clearly a propagandist and shill for republicans. Do not trust ANYTHING 'reported' by axios.
