CNN host Brian Stelter claimed Sunday on “Reliable Sources” that the failed attempt to make CNN+ a viable streaming service was because of the merger of the new owner’s Warner Bros. Discovery.
Stelter said, “What a turbulent week for major media companies with CNN, Netflix, Disney and Twitter all left spinning with no stopping in sight. Here at CNN, new ownership decided to shut down the CNN+ streaming service less than a month after it was launched by the previous management team. The u-turn was front-page news, stunning news and painful news for everyone involved. Years of development possibly down the drain. Some of the shows may never be seen. Hundreds of staffers may be laid off, though the company is trying to place many of them in new jobs. Amid these bruising headlines, folks are trying to make sense of it. Some partisans are believing the predictable talking points about politics, but the truth is, this was a corporate move. This CNN+ service was doomed because of the timing of the merger and clashing strategies. The new owner has plans to compline multiple streaming platforms to make one big challenger for Netflix.”

Everything he says is stupid
CNN+ = Extra fake news streaming all the time and you pay for it 🤪
That’s why it failed
Maybe potato head can learn to code 😛😛. I’ll miss Mark Dice’s Stelter impersonations 🤔
So what is Brian saying? That his bosses have extremely bad business judgement? His bosses are full of it? Why didn’t Brian warn them they were going down the wrong road, if Brian is so smart about these things?
Stelter’s words are themselves an explanation for the subtraction of CNN+ from the airwaves. Mama always said “Stupid is as stupid does.”
He’s an idiot Jim.

next week CNN’s resident midget eunuch will be blaming the demise of CNN+ on the russkie-uke war ...
Tater is a dumb sh**.
Just go away now Porky.
Took them a week to think this up.
Brian needs to take a look at CNN’s overall numbers for the past few years before he starts claiming that there were diamonds in that huge pile of horse droppings.
Let Highpants sweat it.
There is probably considerable truth in this. The mind boggling thing is that AT&T would proceed with a major new strategic initiative even as the sale of WarnerMedia neared completion — and do so without a full buy in from Discovery and despite recurring reports that Discovery was in fact opposed.
AT&T’s bungling of its WarnerMedia misadventure will live on forever in the annals of business school case studies of sheer, gobsmacking incompetence.
I’m pretty sure New Coke failed because of early global warming.

++++++++++++
This makes me happy.
Maybe not. Isnt the merger just about to close? He may not be employed next week. I’m thinking he’s not going to survivor the takeover
