We saw this tweet come up a week ago and it intrigued us, but we couldn’t find much to back it up:
BREAKING REPORT: CNN returning to a 100% news channel after Major Merger. A "good number" of the "talent/staff" WILL BE LET GO to align with their new mission… -Jon Nicosia DC Examiner

Now, one of the major shareholders of the group that’s going to merge with AT&T has given an interview to CNBC, and he says he’d like to see CNN evolve back to the way it used to be and “actually have journalists.”
"I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists," claimed John Malone, the top shareholder of Discovery, which is poised to take over the network. pic.twitter.com/QnNhQwgBY0

Actual journalists? So who’s first on the chopping block?
John Malone, the biggest shareholder of the company that’s about to take over CNN, said he “would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists.”
Who do you think is at the top of his hit list?

When CNN moves to REAL NEWS again with it's new merger, Who will be FIRED FIRST?

You have to completely clean house. They’re all activists and can’t just report the news only.

Demolish the CNN headquarters and then fire every single CNN employee without exception

Brian Stelter, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, the list is endless… all of them!! Start fresh!

Every damn one of them.

All of them, they currently have zero journalists, only narrative repeaters.

They have to remove just about everybody in order to have a shot at a return to some sort of journalistic ethics. Stelter and Cuomo and Lemon for sure, and probably anyone else with enough notoriety that their name is associated with CNN
— arenb (@arenb) November 20, 2021
CNN needs a clean slate. They’ve all been compromised by their ideology.
— Nicole (@K1tchenW1tch) November 20, 2021
It makes no sense that Stelter, Lemon, Cuomo or Cooper have jobs as journalists.

If he can make CNN do journalism again, he’d go down as one of the great American patriots. Critically important that this happens if America’s division is to end.

Twitter seems to think Brian Stelter, Don Lemon, and Chris Cuomo are most vulnerable if CNN pivots back to actual journalism.
