First off...."journalists"? Really? At cnn? Not bloody likely. Second, thanks jeff. Third. At least they'll have no problem signing up for obiecare. Fourth. jeff wants to re-establish cnn as the "dominant" force in cable news? LOLOLOLOLOL! Good luck with that one jeff. I wonder if the unemployment numbers will "necessarily skyrocket" because of these massive lay-offs.

"CNN lays off more than 40 journalists"

REALLY...to do that they would first have to hire at least 40 real journalists!

Those are left wing mediots, who push the Obama lies 24/7.

Who needs them.

If we want lies, we can watch Carney, Holder, Obozo and any of the Obozoites.

Read Mark Twain’s interview with a “journalist” or better yet, listen/watch Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain relating the interview. Hilarious.

All 40 lying, liberal losers were so busy lambasting Christie over the GW Bridge "atrocity", they never saw this coming. They thought they'd have enough work to last for years.

including a pregnant producer who was two weeks away from giving birth to twins –

There's a wrongful termination suit waiting to happen.

Wouldn’t they have had to hire some journalist before laying 40 off? ;-)

My wife got laid off when she was 7 months pregnant with our second child about 7 years ago. Needless to say, it was a stressful 6 months, but we look back on it now and know it was a blessing in disguise. She was able to spend time with the baby, and she eventually found a job that was just 3 miles from our home.

And from what I read, this guy is slowly changing CNN into something completely different. They might not even do “news” anymore.

The government and corporations write their news. They don’t need them.

How do you fire a journalist at CNN?

Ask them to turn in their kneepads.

The cutting of production and editorial staff at the Time Warner-owned group comes as Mr Zucker tries to re-establish CNN as the dominant force in 24 hour cable news, a crown it lost several years ago to Fox News Channel.

Typical bean-counter mentality. Laying people off to improve quality and market share. Right.

Did they get rid of that large chubby woman who moderated the debate between Obama and Romney?

CNN never apologized for that hit piece. On that day, I decided to learn how to block TV channels on my cable box just so I could get rid of CNN.
