Chris Wallace ‘Having Daily Breakdowns’ over CNN+ Failure
The Miami Standard ^ | April 13, 2022 | Miami Standard News Staff

Former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace has reportedly been breaking down in front of his crew over the “miserable failure” of the new streaming platform CNN+.

The launch of CNN+ has been anything but stellar, according to the latest statistics, with the platform drawing in close to less than 10,000 daily viewers and even fewer subscribers. Per CNBC:

Fewer than 10,000 people are using CNN+ on a daily basis two weeks into its existence, according to people familiar with the matter.

CNN+ launched on March 29. The subscription news streaming service, which charges $5.99 a month or $59.99 annually, only became available on Roku on Monday and still isn’t on Android TV. Still, the paltry audience casts doubt on the future of the application following the recently completed combination of Discovery and WarnerMedia into Warner Bros. Discovery.

News of this disaster has not been well-received by Chris Wallace, who left Fox News in late-2021 to join CNN+, and he has reportedly voiced this frustration to his staffers, according to reporter Jon Nicosia.

“SOURCE: Chris Wallace is ‘having daily breakdowns’ over the ‘miserable launch’ of [CNN+],” Nicosia announced. “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.’”

Wants a ‘CNN show or is threatening to walk’..

So, walk into retirement, Chris. Check on the definition of 'insufferable' and then look in the mirror. Retirement looms.

The left lives in an alternative universe.

They are 100% convinced that humans are destroying the planet.

They truly believe that a woman should not be burdened with a child and needs to be able to kill it legally.

They believe that “you can be anything you want to be” including a different race or gender.

Reality is oppressive, so they reject it.

The reality is most people only watch news channels in times of perceived crisis. The right watches so they can formulate a plan of action. The left watches for emotional assurance. They thought that they had created enough instability and chaos and fear that millions would pay to get a reassuring perspective.

It seems they were wrong.

A blind monkey could have predicted that no one would be willing to pay to watch CNN, a network that no one watches even when it’s free. Just shows how pathetically stupid Chris Wallace is.

And just wait until he realizes that John Malone is his new daddy.

That is a true disaster of a clause. I’m not sure I could do any worse if I tried.

Isn’t on of the factors behind a dismal start to this CNN+ thing the fact that one of their big headliners named Chris Wallace? Maybe Chris should make a joke about Will Smith’s wife and see if that gets some publicity.

Maybe Wallace shouldn’t have traded the cow for those magic beans.

Maybe CNN could subcontract ChrissyW out to shine Joe Rogan’s shoes?

He was paid 9 million, what is he crying about? That nobody in the world wants to see or hear from him ever again?
