Report: New CNN Boss Rips Into 'Cancer' Brian Stelter's 'Failing Show'

The boss of CNN’s incoming parent company is taking aim at Brian Stelter.

John Malone, the biggest shareholder of Discovery, harshly criticized Stelter in an informal meeting of the company’s executives, according to a report.

Discovery is completing a merger with WarnerMedia, CNN’s current parent company.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” said Malone in a November CNBC interview

The ratings of Stelter’s “Reliable Sources” have been dismal in the aftermath of the Trump era, with the weekend host largely focused on criticizing conservative media and the former president instead of scrutinizing the current administration.

Malone has spoken more openly of his desire to return CNN to a news model in its content — a turnaround from the partisan leftist commentary that the channel became associated with during Donald Trump’s presidency.

Media reporter and former Washington Examiner editor Jon Nicosia broke news of Malone’s words for Stelter on Tuesday.

Malone ripped Stelter as a “cancer,” criticizing his close relationship with disgraced former CNN president Jeff Zucker and accusing his show of being a failure, according to Nicosia.

If he’s trying to rebrand he’s got to get word out that they are dumping losers like butterball Stelter……that they’re not going to employ Leftist hacks like that anymore.
