Despite the Democrats’ best efforts, Paramount Skydance has settled with 12 state attorneys general. That means the company can now complete an $81 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN. That’s bad news for the propagandists at the cable ‘news’ network. Insiders say CNN employees dread the changes new boss David Ellison will usher in.
It’s a grave situation at CNN. (READ)
The mood at CNN is “like a funeral,” according to a source, as Paramount Skydance prepares to acquire the company in October.

Staffers are concerned about the company’s business plans being changed — yet again. “What an enormous loss and disruption it would be to shuffle…
(post continues) ...leadership for the umpteenth time in the midst — finally — of reshaping the business,” says one CNN staffer.
Maybe they should try reporting honestly and fairly — that’s a thought

That’s funny. It’s never going to happen.
Posters say if it feels like a ‘funeral’ to CNN’s staff, it’s because they killed the cable ‘news’ network. It’s time to bury it.
CNN wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t a Fake News propaganda machine all this time.

That is hilarious and they deserve every bit of it 🤣

They have been a propoganda outlet for many years and deserve absolutely zero sympathy
Any misery felt by the people at CNN is well deserved and long overdue. This people have believed themselves untouchable for far too long.

The folks responsible for the network being a laughingstock are worried about keeping their jobs? Good. They should be.

Means useless staffers who were doing needless jobs are about to be looking for new jobs.

Seriously those that complain about these mergers are the ones who know their gravy trains are over.
They’re losing a gravy train and getting buried in a cable ‘news’ network graveyard.
CNN used to be a premier news outlet; now it’s a third-place ratings disaster.
How are their ratings these days? Genuinely curious, I tapped out on all cable news years ago.

‘Surely, they won’t fire us.’ Think again.
The new owner will likely cut the anchors with the biggest salaries and who have betrayed the viewers' trust.
Uh oh @jaketapper

Your résumé updated?
You just know Jake Tapper is in Ellison's DMs.

You're welcome! That sink should help the new ownership message land loud and clear once the deal closes.

You know it’s bad for CNN when even Grok is kicking the outlet while it’s down. Let that sink in.
