I seen where Cooksey Media claims he was forced out of Moto. He's now covering politics.

Any of you Moto bros got any insight? How does one get forced out exactly?

first inaccuracy is that he was media or 'covering moto'.

How fitting for him. Placing blame elsewhere and getting into politics.

His brand of "taking the unpopular stance to look edgy" will fail there too. Boats full.

If your main reporting angle is opinion based conspiracies, I can see why they wouldn't let you play ball.

Hopefully he can find an outlet for him and he can find success somewhere, I just don't think being the "Alex Jones of Moto" is going to pay the bills.

Did he take Johnny Hopper with him? Two hot-take idiots who love to "ask the hard-hitting questions".

IIRC, he wasn’t allowed in a presser so he got Johnny to say he was from Cooksey Media when they let him ask a question. I don’t know if either have been apart of the press conferences since.

Yeah, I think I watched that one - it was one of the SLC rounds last year.

Don’t know anything about the guy. But I’d imagine covering politics would be a lot more brutal than a sport.. Good luck!

Having covered politics for several years, and still feeling like I was green around the gills when I left, I have no idea how Cooksey is going to do anything representing professional reporting.

He’s probably not most of the reporting on both sides is unprofessional

Most of the media landscape is not represented by what you watch on TV. Most political reporters are small local-paper people working their asses off at capitols. The fairest and best reporters I ever knew were at the Washington State Capitol.

He must have been opposed to the National Anthem being played before sporting events.

Cooksey moto wasn't making $$, Cooksey blames moto and now is Cooksey national politics.

Can't blame the guy savvy business decision, much better market for his nonsense. Good anchor prospect for CNN, Fox News etc if he keeps his theories aligned to one side.

I think he sees himself as a Joe Rogan ...

Never understood what he was doing right here. Actually always thought he was the exact kinda guy who would annoy GuyB. Always the first to stir crap just to make a buzz.
