Hopefully these layoffs won’t impact CNN’s ability to legitimize celebrity gossip or have talking heads recite partisan talking points.

CNN better hope Twitter doesn't close down since that is where 90% of their content come from.

Pretty sure a significant amount of their content comes from covering what their hosts said during the previous hour. “Just wait till you find out what Jake Tapper had to say about Anderson Coopers reaction to Wolf Blitzers reporting, it’s shocking and up next.”

Doesn’t 90% of all entertainment “news” content come from Tweets these days? I feel like Fox and the others are the same. I don’t watch any of them though, so I could be wrong…

No I watched a lot of fox over thanksgiving at my grandparents and it was surprisingly adequate reporting all though just about every point made my eyes roll into the back of my head. And my grand parents are just like “yep sure enough, Biden is incompetent because he didn’t eat an ice cream cone right” I mean it is exactly the same as CNN under the trump administration,

CNN could save so much money if they just hired me to read their prepared talking points and celebrity gossip. I will work for the bargin price of 100K a year and deliver the same low ratings that Don Lemon and Jake Taper give them. Not only that they would save money on wardrobe because I could just wear off the rack from JC Penny or Burlington Coat Factory.

They'll just continue to contrive "news" off singular social media posts.

There main problem is they cant figure out who to spin the stories for from day to day.

Disney didn’t hurt fox talking heads so I don’t think they will. Those heads make money.

Edit: Disney did not get fox TV they got just movies fox TV was to be included but Peter was required by the FTC to no be. My fault. Now I know what it feels like to be a Fox News watcher. RIP.

Disney didn't buy the fox news portion of 21th century fox. That is a seperate company called fox corporation.

Disney didn't buy the Fox network. Just the film division and their shows. Murdoch still owns the network, the sports broadcasting and the shitrag news.
