“.....‘60 Minutes’ would have done 30-40 years ago… before they started working for the DNC.....?

I don’t remember 60 minutes ever not working for the DNC!

He was supposed to be a media watch dog, but he was a communist. He blamed Trump for his NC campaign hdqtr being attacked in 2016.

“One staffer reportedly complained that “we didn’t have this problem until John Malone was sitting on the board of this company.””

So they are upset that they now have to do real journalism instead of Pravda style journalism? Oh the Huge Manatee.

Hmmm...... John Malone

From Wiki..... John Carl Malone (born March 7, 1941) is an American billionaire businessman, landowner and philanthropist. He was chief executive officer (CEO) of Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI), a cable and media giant, for twenty-four years from 1973 to 1996. Malone is now chairman and largest voting shareholder of Liberty Media, Liberty Global, and Qurate Retail Group (formerly known as Liberty Interactive), and also owns 7% of Lionsgate and Starz Inc.[1][2][3][4] He was interim CEO of Liberty Media, until succeeded by former Microsoft and Oracle CFO Greg Maffei. By most estimates, Malone is the largest private landowner in the United States, possessing upwards of 2.2 million acres (3,437 square miles), more than twice the size of Rhode Island.[5]

Malone's political beliefs have been described as libertarian.[39] He is on the board of directors for the Cato Institute. He donated US$250,000 to Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017, with colleague Greg Maffei, Liberty Media, and Liberty Interactive each donating a further US$250,000.[40] Though in 2019 during an interview with CNBC Malone stated "Look, I think a lot of things Trump has tried to do—identifying problems and trying to solve them—has been great…. I just don’t think he’s the right guy to do it. Half the people that he’s hired and thrown under the bus are now trying to kill him. I mean, what kind of thing is that?" He expressed support for Michael Bloomberg in the 2020 United States presidential election.[41]

Hard to believe there was a time when I watched CNN on a regular basis. This would have been the late 1980s into the early 1990s. CNN had their heyday during the Gulf War.

It all went to hell during the Clinton years.

Ooh, not being total commie trash is now re-defined as pro-Trump.

A name for a new political party: centrists, conservatives, left-leaning but recoverable: NonCommieTrash. NCT.

Clearly stake out your position: We are not crazy, anti-human wack-jobs like THOSE Aholes! We are NCT!

Same with Joy Reid. I thought she was supposed to be gone by spring, but spring is almost over.

I wouldn’t mind it if CNN was converted into a flatly delivered news outlet. Disinterested in agenda’s or propaganda. Just tell me what happened and let me make a decision on what to make of it.

That would,be awesome IF it were true thst CNN were pro Trump and pro conservative. Would really be something if they put even Newsmax and other “pro,conservative” need stations to shame. Heck, I might even buy cnn+ then lol

Malone has a trail of bodies behind him as well. He didn’t bring people with him as he got richer. He took for himself.

Malone will eventually clean house—but agreed that reputation is very difficult to restore.

He will need to ban any “news” that is just leftist opinion—and anyone who spouts that stuff.

That probably means firing everyone above janitor level.

I hear there is also an opening for a replacement for the Pillsbury Doughboy.
