NEW ROUND OF LAYOFFS AT CNN'S ATLANTA HQ
Breitbart Big Journalism ^ | 27 Mar 2014 | by WARNER TODD HUSTON

As CNN struggles to regain its once robust position as ratings leader, the cable network is initiating another round of layoffs at its Atlanta headquarters.

The Atlanta headquarters employs 450 people, but breaking news today indicates that 16 are being laid off from its Image and Sound unit.

Another 160 employees will find their duties changing--and some of those may also be laid off--due to the impact of "new technologies," TVNewser reports.

Since Jeff Zucker took over as CNN's chief, the network has struggled to regain ratings steam, and at one point early in 2014 the network saw historic ratings lows.

Its latest big Robert Redford-produced docu-series, Chicagoland, has seen falling ratings each week and did not debut strong in the first place.

The former number one cable network has often even slipped behind left-wing MSNBC in total viewership and is getting crushed by Fox News.

Though CNN is still posting earnings growth, its ratings and earnings pale in comparison to that of Fox News.

Yet, even with CNN's ratings troubles, MSNBC is in worse shape. As Politico's Dylan Byers noted on March 26, MSNBC is in serious financial trouble, with its profits cratering.

I’ve always presumed the scrawl writing job went to the blonde intern with the biggest cup size.

I was going thru the channels and stopped on CNN, because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Her name is Michaela Pereira on New Day. Talk about having a case of steatopygia, she is a “Biggen”.

Embracing perversion and slavery to government didn’t quite gain viewers, did it?

Hey, how much of a pay cut is Don the Lemon and Wolfed Blitzed taking to ease the pain of their fellow Democrats at CNN? NONE? Is the answer “NONE” ?

Morning Schmoe had a full screen poll result the other day as follows:

Whoever Poll opinion of XYZ:

Unfavorable-43%

Unfavorable-37%

And they put it up twice about a minute apart.

My favorite was: "liberry".

Many years ago, my then girl friend asked me what those beautiful bushes were growing around the town library, I told her the were liberry bushes.

Oh yes, I was quite the wit back in the day.

I've lost so much of it since then that now I'm only a half wit, though sometimes I rise to the level of nitwit.
