All I can say is, bwahahahahahahahahaha

I wonder if people like CNN know I wouldn’t watch their crap if they paid *me*? 🤪

That's what I don't understand. People are barely watching CNN when it is 'free'. Who would pay for it?

[ChildOfThe60s]

Yet no one at CNN has the slightest notion of cause and effect.

You can’t fix anything unless you are willing to accept why it is happening and deal with that cause.

Everyone who has basic cable. Because cable providers seem to all think a channel that nobody watches is the one indispensable channel that must be on all basic cable subscription packages. And thanks to that, CNN has never had to care about ratings. Streaming, however, is a harsh mistress for channels that make content nobody wants.

[Bullish]

Nobody watches their cable broadcasts so they had a brilliant idea... “Let’s start a streaming service that nobody will care two rips about”. Brilliant I tell ya’.

Ah, the sweeeeeet taste of Schadenfreude a la mode!

[TornadoAlley3]

Why would people pay to watch something they will not watch for free.

SOURCE: Chris Wallace is “having daily breakdowns” over the “miserable launch” of @CNNplus. Wants a “CNN show or is threatening to walk” they go on. “He is having staffers count how many times a day his promo is playing”

Well, that's why I put quotes around 'free'. I mean, no one is paying for CNN. It comes whether you want it or not. Not free, but not something that you want to buy either.

Glad to hear. I hope he has a nervous breakdown and dies. F**k Chris Wallace and his commie Dad.

And Chrissy, no more gigs moderating Presidential debates.

Hey, maybe the TV station in North Platte, Nebraska, needs a reporter. But be warned, they won't put up with any fake news.

[Bonemaker]

Fire the prick.

[LouieFisk]

Excuse the double post, something went haywire after I hit “post”.

[immadashell]

… The news giant was initially planning to invest around $1 billion in the service over the next four years.

Don't you need viewers? Once they got kicked out of the airports their strategy was fake news. If it weren't for phony Pelousy impeachments they wouldn't have made it this far. I would suggest that “news midget” was a more appropriate phrase (but that would be seriously unwoke!)
