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.

Field idiot propagandas?
If CNN returned to the 24/7 reliable news feed they were back say in 1990, they could wreck the whole competition.
Wouldn’t that be special...:)
The best thing about Brian ‘Humpty Dumpty’ Stelter is when he was insulted and ridiculed to his face by guests he admired.
It was gold, Jerry!!! Gold!!!!

OANN has two channels, one with just straight news and OANN Plus with opinion/investigation shows. When I saw OANN regular news I was struck by how much it was like CNN in the late ‘80s.
...a turnaround from the partisan leftist commentary that the channel became associated with during Donald Trump’s presidency.
When they started, they had Don Farmer, Chris Curl, and Patrick Emory, some of the best anchors around.
Bahahaha that network has been unwatchable to every non libtard on the planet for years and years 🤪
My ideal news station would be text only. It can be read by a computer generated voce. So no inflexions, eyebrow raises or anything to bias interpretation. It still leaves the media with enormous power - the power to report & the power to ignore. If it’s ignored did it happen?
Topic 1: Election of 2020 was stolen -- spend a a year examining the evidence for this.
Topic 2: Joe Biden has dementia and cannot function as a human -- spend a a year examining the evidence for this.
If indeed CNN returns to down the middle news I will watch. I am sick of partisan drivel spouted on both sides.
CNN - the pervert channel 😒
Back in 1989 - 1992, I used to bartend in the private men’s grill of a country club here in Colorado where John Malone was a member. Great guy, smart, and politically conservative. If he hasn’t changed, I would expect good things from him as the new CEO.
Interesting. Hope you got some investment tips.
That guy has made some serious dough...
It may be a terrible show, but it seems unprofessional to rip into one of your own network’s shows publicly like this. Couldn’t he handle it behind closed doors?
John Malone rocks. Fearless.
"Reliable Shartin'" ain't doing so well!
Everyone would like to see either that or for them to never been on the air again. This guy's smart enough to see that.
CNN is like a whirlwind of stupid democrat propaganda and it cannot survive like that. Everything they say in their commentaries turn out to be provable lies.
>See my tagline
Maybe Brian can get work as a fat boy talking about the benefits of Nutrasystem.
