The End of CNN As We Know It Is Coming
« on: February 04, 2022, 10:41:05 pm »
Not sure if it will happen but interesting none the less..

It appears that CNN’s left-wing bias will be wiped away when the network is spun off to Discovery later this year, with the new owners’ largest shareholder eager to restore it to impartiality.

This is more likely than ever with Jeff Zucker gone.

Liberty Media, Discovery’s largest shareholder, is headed by John Malone, a billionaire Trump donor. He retains a 25 percent voting interest in Discovery, which is set to take control of WarnerMedia later this year – including CNN.

I'm thinkin' that most employees at CNN would quit before they'd take orders to become more "impartial".

The entire network would self-destruct on [what it would claim to be] a "matter of principle"...

That would be a nice and fitting end to purge the communists from the inside out.

A very good development if it plays out.

They have already self-destructed. CNN cannot go any lower in terms of ratings.
They can only go up from where they are today.

Oh no, that would leave only ABC, NBC, CBS MSNBC, PBS, Aljazeera, and almost all the print media shilling for the left, how will the socialists survive this loss?

240b claims:

They CAN "go lower".
They could shut down and go out of business entirely.

We can hope, can't we...?

That would be the next step. Once they got rid of Trump, like so many other so called 'pundits', they discovered that they had nothing to talk about anymore. Since they dropped actual 'news' and replaced it with being the 'all Trump all the time' channel, when Trump left, CNN was abandoned and alone. They had no idea what to do.

Yes. Their shows have been heavily laces with 'climate change' stuff for some time.

That bias alone makes me cynical. They might end up just a little less rabid leftist.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
