Bullish, the parent company of CoinDesk, dismissed three top editors, including the editor-in-chief, citing restructuring and cost-cutting measures. However, this comes after the controversy surrounding the removal of an article critical of Tron founder Justin Sun, raising concerns about editorial independence. The article in question discussed Sun's purchase of a $6.2 million banana art piece and his legal issues. Sun's team demanded the article's removal, and Bullish complied without issuing a retraction notice, leading to the resignation of another editor. Some staff members believe the removal was influenced by Tron's sponsorship of CoinDesk's conference, and they call for transparency and protection of editorial independence.
