Warner Bros Discovery has suspended all external marketing spend for its recently launched streaming service CNN+ and laid off CNN's finance chief Brad Ferrer,

——Discovery executives are focused mostly on returning CNN to its journalistic core, a point Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav reiterated in a town hall last week. That includes less of a focus on primetime perspective programming, and more of a focus on hard, breaking news. CNN+ features an array of soft news content, which doesn’t align with Discovery’s broader vision for CNN.-——
That is, return to Ted Turner’s vision that has been politically corrupted. News, facts, Truth.....= $$$
Reality is not a familiar condition to leftist media types. In the delusional world in which they exists they believe that everyone is anxious to partake of the stuff they produce.
Who’s talking to Chris Wallace.
Who cares ?
People can get local / national / world news for free 24 7.
There is nothing about CNN+ that makes it different from what people can get for free.

I think they were just trying to get on the streaming bandwagon.
But how many friggin streaming services can there be?? I have like four right now.
He could always learn to code.
Somebody at the home office looked up and saw the vultures circling. If they were expecting a Lesko Brandon bailout as a propaganda organ they should have arranged it in advance. Plus ten percent for the Big Guy.
numerous free ones - most of which are junk, but you can get a few dozen that are high quality.
Not to mention more and more free over the air channels.
Pointless to pay for more, and certainly pointless to pay for CNN+ - wouldn’t load it up if it were free.

no one except the poor schlubs stuck at the airports
Why would any decision maker at CNN think that CNN+ would have been a good idea?
But like Megyn, Katie Couric, Bill O'Reilley, Dan Rather, and every other has-been media personality, money isn't what produces self-actualization. Being taken out of "the game" and rendered "non-relevant" is like The End for them.
Most of us have God, family, a job that's meaningful, and that keeps us going. Most of these talking heads are on spouse #3+, are atheists/agnostic, and measure "meaningful" by Nielsen.
The pile of cash doesn't make these people happy. Relevance, power, and a fawning audience, is what they crave. The cash may as well be straw...I mean it provides them the creature comforts to which they're deserving(!), but therein lies the problem.
See ya later Chris!!!
“If only they had gotten Gen Pus-sackee to move to be on cnn+.......”
Almost as good, CNN to some degree wants to clean house. Ginger Goebbels only had one game in town MSNBC. That killed her negotiating power of her Agent playing CNN against MSNBC and vice versa. Suck it Sackee.
I met Lynn Russell, one of the main anchors for CNN in those days, at a Veterans Day 2020 event, and she was clearly totally disgusted with what CNN has become.
Don’t need two CFOs.
Just asking...
Can Neilson ratings go into negative territory?
