so he was not fired because he said it; he said it because he was fired, and was free to speak clearly

This is what happens when Big Business gets too big. The marriage of Warner Brothers and Discovery Networks is guaranteed to go down in flames. They'd be better off having all CNN shows hosted by the Anamaniacs

Watch the media start being nicer to Trump as he gets in more trouble.  He is worth big bucks and they need him.

CNN has some work to do in their quest to become Fox 2.0

He spent half his life playing at the fool, but Al Franken is the smartest guy in a lot of the rooms he finds himself in.

It would take me exactly half a nanosecond to decide to vote for Al Franken for president.

Did he stop at his resort, spend a few days, make the secret service stay there, make them rent golf carts, etc. etc. etc. because you know... "both sides" bullshit.

The Bulwark had a good interview with a former CNN correspondent.  The short of it is they see the shrinking numbers in cable news and while each network has competed, especially in primetime, long term they don't think it'll be a cash cow like it has been.  CNN sees it's biggest numbers when a major event happens, so they view that as when it comes push to shove, people still trust CNN.  As such, the concern isn't about making it profitable as a single entity, but Discovery wants it as their news crown jewel for their Discovery package.

I still go to CNN for big news, even on election night.  I assumed that's just because of how I was ingrained to think of it going back to Ted Turner and the 1980's.  I used them for all the Queen stuff.

Election night on CNN means John King, can't go wrong there.

Love John King. And wolf always seems two steps behind.

Wondering if at least part of this is lingering effects from her assault in Egypt in 2011.

Actually, now that I think more about it, it occurs to me that white South Africans may well be more susceptible to this kind of idea, given how they too were once beneficiaries of a legally-enforced apartheid system of which they now rue the loss.
