My thoughts exactly. For years we’ve wondered how the MSM can stay in business while providing content that is offensive to so many potential viewers. We’ve learned the answer. Their business model was never about getting good ratings. It was always about getting government money to churn out leftist propaganda. With that source of money drying up, they finally have to take ratings seriously.

I bet they have to pull out of airports - probably won’t have the money to continue.

You’ve got a good point about the future of Fox News. It looks pretty grim.

Maybe Elon Musk can buy CNN, and put Stephen Miller in charge of the new network.

When I used to live in the DC area, I listened to Chris Plante on the radio. He used to mock NPR because they had so many people working on one show. He had himself and one assistant. His show was great: both humorous and informative. I do not know how he got away with ridiculing the Democrats so much.

Will CNN interview exiting employees over the inherent unfairness of their being laid off?

Doesn’t CNN care about it’s employees?
How ruthless can CNN be to layoff employees while millionaires like Dana B, Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, Erin Brunette enjoy their riches while poor writers, reporters and staff get laid off during this cold cruel atmosphere.

Why doesn’t these liberal stars give back a little of their ill gotten salaries so their lesser coworkers can feed their families!

Can they at least keep them hired until the “learn to code”!

Terrible people!

“CNN was allowed to have a news bureau in Baghdad as long as they never said anything bad about Saddam”
.
.
Was that Jason Blair in charge?

My notes say that “CNN Jason Blair Baghdad office kept open as long as Saddam Hussein wasn’t negatively mentioned. Fired, then wrote for NYTs, fired there for fake news.”
