But they were supposed to hire all those fired political hacks from the DOJ, FBI, State, etc. as highly paid political consultants.

Pay for CNN? Heck, I won’t even look at it if it’s free!

[Savage Beast]

Could I help decide which ones?

CNN started out as news, then the Democrats took it over.
Now it is Schiff and should be shut down.

My god are that many editors?

I’d pay $20 a month to keep CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR and all the stinkin’ rest of legacy MSM out of my house. The icons, apps, cable channels etc. are filtered out by the TV provider. I know, a fantasy. Seems like a great way to get filthy rich though.

Laying off because nobody watches them. 😆

Does anyone know if CNN is still playing in airports?

I haven’t flown in over 5 years, so I have no idea.

For decades these “news” outlets have served mainly to give illegal political contributions-in-kind to Leftist candidates. The more that’s exposed, the less one needs a “news” room.

building out digital subscription products

Pay to be lied to 🤔 what a concept…

[catnipman]

“The layoffs come as CNN is rearranging its linear TV lineup and building out digital subscription products.”

“transitioning” from existing print or broadcast/cablecast to digital subscription has never worked: new digital has to compete with a hundred gazillion already established digital sources, plus income generally drops by many orders of magnitude ... essentially, such “transitioning” is just the next step in the uninterrupted downhill slide to oblivion ...

That’s great! Finally the MSM is getting its due.
