Almost all corporate media are in financial trouble except CNN.

CNN receives programming reimbursement from the U.S. State Department via The Bureau of International Information Programs; the same State Department program that pays Facebook for content. CNN is not as reliant on ad revenue because they get tens of millions from the U.S. State Department.

Cut the funding to the State dept.

I did not know that....

Is it true?

That explains a lot. Hillary’s State Dept subsidized CNN with our tax dollars.

Our tax dollars have gone to a lot of things meant to screw us.

Sort of like Saddam Hussein forcing the widows to pay for the bullets used for the unjust political execution of their husbands.

Thanks for that. I think it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

CNN was in the crapper until 2009 when they and other large ‘news’ organizations got in line for a fed bailout like banks. Yes, that really happened.

A lot of the news is propped up by tax or deficit dollars. Trump represents uncertainty to their income statements.
