Major changes are going on at CNN – as their ratings tank.

New CNN Boss Chris Licht has now reportedly told CNN anchors to stop using the term “the big lie” to describe 2020 election fraud – Licht pointed out that this line is the same one used by Democrats. p>The boss still claims that election fraud claims by Trump are lies, however.

From The New York Post:

New CNN boss Chris Licht reportedly nudged producers to avoid describing former President Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen as “the big lie” – a move that comes as top brass drive a shift toward neutral news coverage.

Licht, who took over as CNN’s president earlier this year and is driving an overhaul at the left-leaning network, revealed his preference during a conference call with show executive producers and management on Tuesday, Mediaite reported.

The CNN president suggested that shows should instead refer to Trump’s disproven claims as “Trump election lie” or “election lies.” Licht asserted that using the phrase “the big lie” essentially parroted the Democratic Party’s “branding” and hurt CNN’s objectivity when covering the topic.

President Donald Trump responded by congratulating CNN saying it was a “big step.”

FromTruthSocial:

BIG NEWS: Fake News CNN has just announced that it will no longer allow the use of the phrase,“The Big Lie,” probably because they are open to legal exposure as facts are now out, with more coming, that the 2020 Presidential Election was indeed Rigged and Stolen, and that the term Big Lie now represents the exact opposite of what the Democrats and Fake News Media was conning the public to believe. A big step by CNN. Congratulations!

"Love is hate!"
"War is peace!"
"Freedom is slavery!"
"Truth is 'The Big Lie'!"

George Orwell was a prophet!
His prediction was 38 years early.

Give it time, the new owners are going to be running CNN differently but they’re also afraid of breaking it by changing too fast. Bear in mind they get about $1 billion a year in revenue from carriage fees before they sell ad #1,so they are not as dependent on ratings as many FReepers think.

I think the first big change will be cutting back on purely political content and those like The Eunuch who produce it.

Prove there was no election fraud if you want to say that.

This is the mindset of these people?? LOL!! This is like saying, "Instead of labeling you a "right-wing racist" like the democrat party, we'll label you, "bigoted conservative". By doing so, we'll show that we are neutral and are not democrat shills.

LOL!! These people are idiots to believe that somehow viewers will now see them as objective and neutral.

Why Trump would give CNN an iota of respect is beyond me!!

As more and more proof comes to light, the “big lie” liars will ring hollow.
