Cable news often gets called out for having a liberal bias. I don’t have to tell you how many Americans are sick of the obvious trend. Conservatives are maligned and dismissed. Meanwhile, Democrats are portrayed as heroes. Even as viewers complain, outlets double down on this scheme.

Big surprise to learn that trust in the mainstream media is at an all-time low. And traditional news outlets are watching their audiences shrivel up.

Perhaps the biggest loser has been CNN. They’ve seen their reputation collapse in recent years. Not only are viewers sick of the bias, but they were shocked to learn about the corruption among the network’s top brass. The previous leaders were canned and their new chief executive has been forced to salvage what is left. Now, he is announcing major overhauls.

From CNN:
Mark Thompson, the CNN chief executive appointed last year to modernize the news network, unveiled a set of sweeping changes to the iconic outlet Wednesday, announcing plans to build a billion-dollar digital business, experiment with artificial intelligence and overhaul key newsroom structures.

The far-reaching measures, which Thompson described to staffers in a memo as a “key milestone in the transformation of CNN,” will result in about 100 employees, or about three percent of the workforce, being laid off. Those employees, Thompson said, will be eligible for severance packages.

Don’t let the spin fool you. CNN is bailing water out of its sinking ship. Their top executive is firing (at least) 100 staffers. He is scrambling to make the liberal-leaning network relevant, as viewers switch to less-biased outlets.

He will be spending a billion dollars to make the cable channel a “digital business.” That apparently will include swapping human writers for AI—not something many readers are ready for. Thompson plans to overhaul “key newsroom structures” which will probably involve even more layoffs and slashed budgets.

Ironically, he did not admit why CNN has to do this. He might claim this has to do with “modernizing” the network. But you don’t see other networks laying off hundreds of people and scrambling to switch to a “digital business.” Fox News isn’t bailing water of out its hulls.

CNN can dress this news up as much as they want. But Americans know the score. The network is being forced to make drastic changes because they have burned so many bridges with its audience. CNN used to be the gold standard of American news. Today, it is a punch line. Americans call it the “Communist News Network” for a reason.

They see CNN are merely a mouthpiece for the far left. Its hosts are just shills for the Democratic Party. If CNN had committed to honest and unbiased journalism, it wouldn’t have to make such drastic changes.

But it is unlikely that Thompson will admit this. Instead, the company will frantically change anything and everything, besides its bias.

Key Takeaways:

• CNN’s chief executive announced sweep changes to turn the company into a “digital business.”
• That will include firing at least 100 staffers while embracing AI and other technology.
• CNN is being forced to do this, it seems, because of a drastic drop in viewership.
• The network is often mocked for its shocking liberal bias and lack of journalistic integrity.
