The End of CNN As We Know It Is Coming
The Republic Brief ^ | Feb. 4, 2022 | Jeff Miller

Posted on 02/04/2022 2:26:58 PM PST by ConservativeInPA

It appears that CNN’s left-wing bias will be wiped away when the network is spun off to Discovery later this year, with the new owners’ largest shareholder eager to restore it to impartiality.

This is more likely than ever with Jeff Zucker gone.

Liberty Media, Discovery’s largest shareholder, is headed by John Malone, a billionaire Trump donor. He retains a 25 percent voting interest in Discovery, which is set to take control of WarnerMedia later this year – including CNN.

This seems to be in conflict with the story directly below it.

Read slowly and carefully.

Will become critically important in coming weeks.
Continue to track those who are resigning across all platforms.

Where there was once darkness, there will now be LIGHT.

EO 13818

CNN is a damaged brand. I don’t think it can be saved no matter who you have as commentators. It’ll take years before people will trust them. Myself included.

Does anyone else see some of the on air “talent” going out like Howard Beale did in “Network?” Except a lot more un-hinged.

I strongly dislike CNN and what it stands for today. But I am an octogenarian and can remember when CNN was the “go-to” when you needed to know what was happening. If you were on the international circuit “back then”, CNN International was what you turned to when you were out of the country. (I often regretted I could only get CNN International outside the country). It WAS, believe it or not, at one time a very credible news source. Amazing to see what “leftism” can do to things over the years, CNN today is unrecognizable. I, for one, would love to see them become once again the most trusted name in news ... unfortunately, I think they have “fried the egg”.

Exactly how I feel. They used a bit more center left. Back with Larry King in the 80’s and early 90’s.

Then starting with Bush Jr, the swung way left.

Then farther with Obama, then crazy chicken wings with Trump. And are stuck there along with most of the rest of the media.

Trump was spot on calling them all Fake News.

Rumor has it that it’ll go back to being a straight news network.

This EO singed by Trump was set to expire Dec 21, 2021. Biden extended it past that date on December 16th 2021.

Yep, I followed that too.

I’m not sure what to make of the 1 year bidAn extension.

Perhaps the EO was extended beyond that, only not made public. Or, alternatively, perhaps it is no longer required.

Or, perhaps it no longer is relevant, due to things like PEADs.
