“. . . the London-born son of an Irish mother and British father, was presented with an irresistible
opportunity to lead CNN, an
esteemed news network that has been grappling with an identity crisis, declining viewership, and subpar financial results.”
“Warner Bros Discovery CEO Zaslav
has chosen to invest in a more neutral and focused CNN, dedicated to straight news delivery. During Chris Licht’s short and chaotic tenure at CNN, the network
failed to attract the moderate viewers and even lost some who enjoyed a more confrontational approach.”

CNN has been horrible for years, relying on outrage, like a 90’s daytime, all while promoting pseudo-agenda based news. Not quite MSNBC levels of hackery, with a bunch of random conservatives to break things up, but biased, loud, and something for airport televisions. Just missing the strippers.
It will be difficult to grab onto viewers in the splintered streaming world. Do you really need CNN? I checked out their streaming tab on Max, and it’s fine. The same old CNN you’ll remember from years ago: endless Wolf Blitzer interrupted by a newish face.
Anyway CNN can get you back? Or are you done with them/done with news in general?
