CNN's very public humiliation continues apace, with some help from CNN+'s ace support team [screenshots]

Yesterday, it absolutely broke our hearts to share the discouraging news that CNN’s big CNN+ launch isn’t shaping up to be quite as big a boon for the network as they’d been counting on.

Breaking: @CNNplus employees bracing for layoffs possibly as soon as May amid projections of lackluster sales of new streaming channel; CNN employees say new streaming channel could be merged into larger @discoveryplus as early as May unless subscriptions pick up 130 @FoxBusiness

Just devastating. You know, you really do hate to see it. As we mentioned in our post yesterday, CNN’s head of strategic communications Matt Dornic insisted that reports of CNN+’s impending death have been greatly exaggerated.

For the record, we are VERY happy with the launch of CNN+ and are only bracing for a long run of success.

Gee … that sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Baghdad Matt.

I believe you. I’m as honest as you.

Killer ratio. I guess it’s nice for the band to play on as the Titanic sinks. pic.twitter.com/OTfXn7sB58

This is an embarrassing look for CNN and CNN+, to be sure. But we’ve paid enough attention to CNN to know that it can always — always — get more embarrassing.
