–Read Note to Editor at the end.–
Hurting in ratings, CNN is now pushing for ‘voluntary layoffs’.
CNN says roughly 100 employees have accepted voluntary buyouts a month after an overhaul by parent company AT&T.
Brian Stelter, also confirmed the rumor, trying to spin it as “hundreds of staffers leaving CNN, as voluntary buyouts.”
In a tweet, Brian Stelter said:
There’s a rumor making the rounds today about big impending layoffs at CNN. A CNN spokeswoman is knocking it down on the record: “No layoffs.” There WERE voluntary buyouts throughout the organization, and about 100 people opted for it.
This morning SaraACarter.com was contacted by CNN’s Brian Stelter, who asked our editorial to update the story. This is what he said:
“Sara, your blog post about me yesterday was factually incorrect. Will you be fixing it?
Buyouts: a voluntary way to leave with a big payout. Layoffs: forced firings. It’s strange that you pretended not to know the difference.”
However, “buyouts are a common method for reducing the number and cost of employees.”

not until the complacent conservatives wake up to the fact their patronage to Comcast, Disney, and now ATT is ultimately funding the Leftwing agenda.Don't forget, maybe worst of all, GOOGLE, Facebook etc...
CNN is getting it's just reward for years and years of dishonesty. They have done enough damage to America so I hope as an organization they die.
Bump!
Tank CNN, you liberal fascist, Joseph Goebbels propagandist ashaoles!
Take this bastardization of the news OUT of all Airports! Pipe in BlazeTV.com to all airports!
Oh I know all about it. It’s on a lot at my fitness club and the house where I rent a room. Both places I will be leaving at the end of this month however. Being CNN free will be a nice plus.
“At what point does CNN simply disappear?”
when the Barr Justice Dept swings the turrent toward the Dems and Obama/Clinton Cartel. Stay tuned.....
I’d love to see Wolf Blitzer cleaning the toilets in the executive washrooms. Sounds like we’ll be at that point soon.
Just give it a month.
I trust this communist company fails.
JoMa
What’s the frequency Kenneth?
CNN would be even worse off if it couldn’t shove its Leftist propaganda down our throats at airports.
“At what point does CNN simply disappear?”
When their contract to play at airports runs out and is not renewed.
Here’s my question: what would have happened if no one took the buyouts? Would people have then been fired? If so, these are effecitvely layoffs.
——At what point does CNN simply disappear?-—
CNN is now AT&T. The point in question is being determined by AT&T executives probably at the direction of The AT&T board
Yeah, hire Sharyll Atkisson and Lara Logan and put them in charge and see what happens.
They can’t even cover their own layoffs honestly.
Two of the best. I also like stossel in the street. Not behind the desk
We will know when things are getting rough when Stelter noticeably drops about 100lbs.
