CNN bloodbath begins with hundreds on the chopping block as network restructures for the Trump era

CNN has started laying off the first of what is set to be hundreds of staffers as mainstream media begins to cut jobs with Donald Trump returning to the White House.

What's more, the struggling cable network has plans to do major surgery on its TV lineup, attempt to expand digital subscribers and move production to its Atlanta home base.

The layoffs were initially reported in November and follow about 100 cuts the network made over the summer.

At least one big name producer has reportedly learned they're out of a job on Wednesday, with many more set to be told on Thursday, Status reported.

Many shows are also rumored to be moving from New York and Washington to Atlanta, where production costs are cheaper, according to CNBC.

On the schedule, virulently anti-Trump anchor Jim Acosta may be headed to the dead zone of cable news, going from 10am to a two-hour show airing at midnights.

The network's former chief White House correspondent may leave the network altogether, according to the LA Times, if he doesn't except a timeslot that's been described as 'the Siberia of cable news.'

Insiders told Puck back in November that the firings were likely to lean closer to the production side of things.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

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.
