CNN is reeling and the issues are easy to follow. They went from a hard news service 2000-2017 dominating online news, crisis coverage, and political discourse. They started developing a streaming platform then they were bought. The new owners canceled streaming plans and started to think that courting the zombie right by normalizing, accepting, and courting MAGA world was a good idea. It's been down hill steeply ever since. Goodbye CNN. Stupid to cancel their streaming plans under new management as well. CNN announces about 200 layoffs as it attempts to modernize business CNN announced it is laying off 6% of its staff, or about 210 employees, in a memo sent to employees Thursday. Newsrooms around the U.S. are reorganizing around digital audiences as fewer people watch cable and broadcast news.

CNN likely over hired, followed the woke DEI way and realized no need for a bunch of extra loons hanging around just for the sake of having checked all the boxes. Nice try @citygator getting first stab at steering this story. You’ve lost the wheel. CNN is just like the rest of the world…cut out the libbies fat to survive. Yes, even CNN was over stuffed with libbie shit.
Thanks for the vote of confidence that my post on [checks notes] Gatorcountry is an attempt to steer a national story. I need to replace my avatar with a more muscular gator now. Good analysis on your part. I especially like the libbie shit part. Deep.
You must of missed the part where many major companies are dumping DEI libbie trash to save money. I made the obvious leap on your trash pile of a story.
I imagine journalism schools will eventually need to change their name to digitalism schools or something like that.
