As they should. The finance officer put millions of dollars into the CNN+ project expecting millions more people to pay for CNN+ when no one even watches the free CNN. It was a foolish investment.

He supposedly got a 9 million dollar contract. He's like Megyn, walking away with a pile of cash for doing nothing.

Like I already said the only viable solution to something as corrupt and phony as CNN is to blow it up completely and start over from scratch 🤪

Why would this ever even get past the “brainstorming” phase?

Nobody on planet earth has ever said: “gee, 24-hour cable news channels are great, but 24 hours a day is not enough, I need even more cable news and I would be willing to pay extra for it”.

The very notion that every cable channel should start their own separate streaming service was already dumb, but for a channel like CNN, it’s profoundly dumb.

Warner Brothers / Discovery needs to be compelled to carry CNN+ forever. Let them bear the burden of the stain they intended to release upon the world.
