CNN is in the midst of a "sorry state of affairs" as the network faces looming leadership changes, struggling ratings and "the embarrassing launch of a suboptimal product," according to a former producer as watchdogs ponder if the new regime can restore the network's reputation.
It’s a much-publicized period of transition for CNN, as parent company WarnerMedia will finally close a long-planned merger with Discovery in the next few weeks. Former CNN boss Jeff Zucker is long gone after being forced to step aside and his replacement, Chris Licht, isn’t expected to overtake control of the network until at least April 11. Meanwhile, high-powered Discovery CEO David Zaslav will oversee the new Warner Bros. Discovery, which will serve as CNN’s parent company once the merger is complete.
Staffers are in the dark about what changes Licht and Zaslav will make, but the duo is expected to shake things up in some capacity. Far-left opinion programming that was prominent during the Zucker regime is likely to be tossed aside in favor of straight news, and some feel changes already need to be made to streaming service CNN+ because it’s "set up to fail" despite just launching this week.

Fox News could learn something from CNN’s downfall as well, as they increasingly become less news and more bloviation…
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of smug jerks and jerkettes.
Fire them all.
Neither CNN nor FNC are there to make money.
They are propaganda outlets for Deep State.
Deep State will keep them, and others, afloat as long as they serve offer Deep State value for money.
The only thing we can do until we restore the republic is deprive these enemedia outlets of as much of our money as possible.
Make Deep State spend more.
Cut the cord. Don’t stream.
How many viewers does cnn think are going to pay to watch this pussiboi ?
cnn can't get viewers to watch for free, what in the name of allah would possess them to think people will pay to watch their crap?
Personally I’d like to see CNN just go off the air!
I almost felt bad about Fox News when I turned that idiocy off for the last time. Almost.
“news”
All news today is just narratives. The optics are designed to back the narratives. The reason they did so much commentary was due to a lack of solid optics. They had to tell you what to believe.
Let's start with the three magpies sitting on a sofa in the morning all trying to ask their own inane question of a guest. This news model went out with Dave Garroway and J Fred Muggs.
“Streamer”? Is toobin doing his own pee tapes now?
The business of selling propaganda just isn’t what it used to be.
People are tired of watching hacks. The elderly and people in airports are the only people watching. Sometimes conservative media plays clips to mock them.
Toobin is now a verb ...
The CIA and State Department run CNN. Paid political operatives posing as journalists.
Watch the network for a few hours and you will see CIA assets appearing hour after hour after hour as guests. It our version of Pravda.
CNN is a swamp, government run operation. Most Americans kind of sense it but
nobody has effectively told them that yet.
The disinformation on the war is appalling. One minute Putin is devoting Ukraine, the next minute Zelensky is the toast of the word and his forces are winning.
Our Washington politicians particularly Republicans need to get honest with votes
and factually explain what has transpired in Ukraine.
Our government, our leaders like Graham, have wave the Nato card so hard with Bio Labs and Nato training bases and weapons inside Ukraine to the point the Russian Federation had no choice but to move. That’s why you see the horrific devastation.
Joe Biden once again miscalculated and ramped up the Ukraine, wag the dog scenario to the point Putin and the Russian congress were drawn into a confrontation. They never though. Russia will go to war over this. The thought wrong.
History will show the world exactly why this mess happened. It probably won’t be until after the election but the Americn public will see this for what it is......it’s another Joe Biden foreign policy failure that brought us to the bring on Nuclear war.

Sorry....Siri has failed me again!
Are they still claiming the laptop was debunked?
I like FOX news and my observation is there is only so much news in a day or week to comment on. So with a string of commentator programs they all blend together and get really boring unless you have a unique production, which is lacking. from The Five, to Jesse, to Hannity to Laura, the content is 80% the same - that's boring. Tucker is the stand out and my favorite.
“I like FOX news and my observation is there is only so much news in a day or week to comment on.”
There is far more going on in the world than Fox or CNN want you to see.
