When Don Lemon is fired, that is when the collapse is near completion. You can bet Chris Cuomo has hinted to Don that he (Don) should have already quit CNN ‘out of loyalty to their long friendship’. Don’s likely reply: “Chris, I have no friends at CNN, only co-workers. Enjoy spending time with your family!”
CNN’s collapse will be complete when there is no longer a CNN.

Agreed. It’s irretrievably damaged goods. I wonder why someone with $$$ hasn’t created a truly nonpartisan mostly-news network . . . like the BBC but gently center-right rather than far left. Heaven knows international news coverage in the U.S. is abysmal.
CNN succeeded as a propaganda outlet for the DNC/China.
Communism has collapsed a zillion times already, but like a weed it keeps growing back.
Not at all. Its a deep-state operation that will stay around, regardless. It will continue to "hire" analysts like John Brennan, Andrew McCabe, and James Clapper to give it "gravitas" and speak the deep-state propaganda. And we'll keep responding to them.
Just look at the career of "famous" neocon Bill Krystal. Literally no one buys his books, his pathetic magazine failed, no one will pay to hear him speak, or attend even if its free. Yet somehow, he has been around and touted as a "serious foreign policy analyst" for 30 years. Why? Because the corrupt media and deep state put him in front of us, and tell America he's famous - and we believe it.
Its the power of propaganda.
In effect it is being sold for parts. It remains to be seen what will be built from them.
Yes, and to get their line out of Baghdad, they did for the first time what they now do routinely: suck up to the regime in charge. Tell the story the authorities want to tell and the truth/facts be damned.
Who was it? Peter Arnett, IIRC, was model for Baghdad Bob. Was he the goof that reported from the bombed out “Baby Milk Factory?”
The problem is nobody will ever trust CNN again. Its brand is now toxic.
They could call it META-N
from the city ??? They were down on the beach getting in the way of the soldiers and marines ...
My fav was the Scud Stud Arthur Someone from NBC or ABC ...
I just remembered Arthur reported from that hotel rooftop in the later war ...
it’s not complete until you see the test pattern being broadcast...
It’s news to me that Zucker and his mistress advised Gov. Cuomo- I thought it was just Chris. The behind-closed-doors discussions must have been interesting.
I expect they don’t know any actual people- only others in their insulated world. They are small people with diminishing power.

I would applaud John Malone if he were to turn CNN into a news and serious journalism outlet. Itâs something thatâs sorely needed and would likely send Fox running for the hills. This is the biggest hole in media today, and one I think most people would like to see filledâŚ
âHe stepped to the window and pointed to the skyscrapers of the city. He said that we had to extinguish the lights of the world, and when we would see the lights of New York go out, we would know that our job was done.â

On the night war exploded over Baghdad, CNN was the only news organization that was able to broadcast from the city under siege as the U.S. onslaught began, all courtesy of the CNN teamâs ability to convince the Iraqi government to grant them a line out of the city to broadcastâ, one that the competition could not secure.
ok....that’s the official line.
here is what i think. the CIA was embedded in CNN in Baghdad. they got married there. CNN is CIA propaganda outlet....and personnel rotator.
to this day.
CNN interviewed Hillary Clintonâs campaign manager, Robbie Mook, in the summer of 2016. I remember hearing Robbie Mook say âexperts sayâ and then making accusations about Trump colluding with Russia. I had never before that been aware of âexpertsâ being used as the term for an anonymous source. There were many other ways that the media described a source without actually having a source or refusing to name the source. But the word âexpertâ was repeated over and over again in that interview. Of course everything was a complete lie. Sounds like a conspiracy to me.
