There are rumors that the guy taking over CNN for the parent company is going to take them back to hard news and drop the opinion shtick. They are bleeding money at an unsustainable rate assuming the democrats in congress do not give them 100 million dollars in the “Build Back Better” bill.
Sounds like someone with dollars and “sense” is taking over the helm and he is bringing a big broom.
I’d rather see them die. Make room for a pro American news room.
Maybe Jeff Bezos can buy CNN and add it to his propaganda media collection. I hope not, though.
“Sounds like someone with dollars and “sense” is taking over the helm and he is bringing a big broom.”
If a true capitalist business person took over, CNN could be the #1 cable network within six months. Bring back hard news and unbiased fact based investigative reporting. Challenge government and entrenched economic interests. Expose corruption no matter who it is. Separate factual news from opinion by clearly labeling editorial commentary and opinion. Eschew sound bites for deep dives into facts. Put intellectuals on like Victor Davis Hanson in a meaningful and civil discussion forum with liberal intellectuals. Educate the audience with knowledge and stop trying to enrage the uninformed.
Show some good stories about the country today. Perhaps a 21st century Charles Kuralt traveling the country showing real Americans doing wonderful things.
In other words bring back real journalism with objectivity and standards. Middle America will flock to the network, advertising revenue will soar, the network will make a lot of money for the stockholders and political debate in this country might become more civil.
