    A significant portion of CNN's staff that covers health is being laid off, which comes just days after CNN denied rumors that mass layoffs were coming to the far-left network.

    "Specific details were not yet known, but a source told Fox News that 'basically the whole division' will lose their jobs," Fox New's Brian Flood reported. "CNN did not respond to multiple requests for comment."

    ...Former CNN contributor Buck Sexton told Mediaite: "People ask me ‘how could you ever have worked at CNN?’ and I tell them, honestly, that CNN has always been Left of center, but it used to have on real conservatives and, while not friendly to them, was at least interested in a serious exchange of ideas. But Trump broke CNN."

    Earlier in the month CNN laid off over 100 people.

    The network continues to see catastrophic decline after 3 years of misleading the American people.

    Viewership is of course below nick at night.

    To the leftists at CNN, its time to take your medicine.

    CNN broke CNN. Trump never said anything about them that most Americans didn't already know.

    I remember during the Gulf War in '91 watching them. I was 5/6 y/o at the time, but I remember watching their shows with my parents with the panels dissuading last nights airstrikes well they showed footage of AAA going off. Now, you watch them, all they do is bash Trump, bash the GOP, bash conservatism.

    CNN went from a legit news source that was the first all news cable channel to the propaganda division of the DNC. What people may not have known was how bad it was until they started beating on Trump 24/7 and even criticizing him for how he eats chicken. It was when Trump started calling them fake news and Jim Acosta was making an ass out of himself almost weekly did a lot of people really notice how biased CNN really was. I recently saw a story about CNN dumping just about anyone who even hints at supporting Trump, be they an on-air guest or host, all the way to the people who work behind the scenes.

    I'm also hearing that Rachel Maddow's ratings are tanking and that's gotta suck for him.

    When CNN used to be about news (even liberally slanted) it was tolerable. Then George Bush beat the Prophet Al Gore and all hell broke loose. 9/11 almost got CNN back on track, but of course they decided to go anti-war the second it was considered safe to turn against Bush. They've been liberal scumbag shills ever since. A slow painful death is all they deserve as a 'media' outlet...

    I remember all of the Fake News networks reporting, gleefully, about how our military was bogged down because of a sandstorm.

    Only Fox News reported accurately.

    It must have been quite a surprise to Fake News believers, when they discovered that our military didn't even get slowed down.

    Well, let's bypass the trolls again:

    A press that puts the facts before ideology is essential to a free nation. When you have a network - indeed, many networks - that put ideology before the truth, that write the narrative THEN pick the facts to match the storyline, then a free press dies and all that is left is a tabloid media.

    We all should. Putting aside for the moment the ethical ramifications of a network that claims to be trustworthy but in fact is beholden to a narrative over the truth, there's an economic aspect in that a number of people are losing their jobs because people are turning off CNN. There's the matter of trust being lost in many/all news sources, there's the concern that if a legitimate news story is reported that no one will believe the media reporting it anymore because they've cried wolf too many times.

    - is merely an excuse explaining CNN's decline but not the cause. Had any other Republican won, CNN would still be going after that member just as badly as they have Trump. The issue isn't Trump at all, it's why CNN has exchanged it's own credibility for ratings and for ideology. Even had Hilla won, the next GOP prez down the line would have driven CNN to this same level of derangement in which the truth would be secondary - maybe even tertiary - to other interests; it was only a matter of time before CNN decided to commit itself to this path.

    Basically, while reporting on Trumps flaws would be good reporting, that isn't CNN's motivation at all. It's just pure simple hatred and intellectual bigotry. Why watch a station devoted to that when they don't even cop to it? Sure, MSNBC is the same way but at least they're honest about it - MSNBC still has it's integrity because it's open about it. CNN? Not at all.

    may make a convenient deflection but the issue isn't the right as all, save that it's made for a convenient scapegoat for the left-wing media as represented by CNN to prostitute itself by selling out it's beliefs - well, what it USED to believe in - in order to sell a story and take one side against the other when it should be reporting and holding ALL sides accountable. Ah, and useless emoji's and stuff.

    Fortunately for leftist 'journalists' coding remains a great profession . . . at a substantial pay cut of course. But seriously when George Soros began funding schools of journalism across this nation this sort of hyper biased leftist interpretation of everything was the inevitable result.

    CNN and MSNBC are simply more overt in their political bias and ideological interpretation of the 'news' than is standard for ABC, CBS, or NBC; but they all do pretty much the same sort of things when you get right down to it. I mean Obama could do no wrong no matter what and Trump can do no right?

    That's anywhere near politically neutral reporting? No, it is not. The vast majority of the media outlets in this nation are now essentially working as propaganda outlets for the DNC. CNN is simply first up in paying the price of having gone that ideological route at the expense of this nation.

    I think you need to elaborate a bit. What is the relevance? I can guess where you're going, but - *shrugs*

    I think the point is that supposedly AT&T is not profit based and will ENDLESSLY pour money down the CNN money pit in order to have a viable leftist media propaganda outlet. But nothing about AT&T indicates that they invest in money pits for political reasons. Thus I strongly suspect that they will demand that CNN clean up its act and become fiscally viable; which of course will be very bad news for leftists as that means that CNN will have to LEARN how to be . . . fair . . . and . . . balanced.

    CNN needs to give CPL Michael Avenatti his own show.

    Actually MSNBC remains on the air because NBC keeps fiscally propping them up. CNN, however, may go belly-up unless it starts acting like a real news organization rather than a propaganda outlet for the DNC.

    100% agree there. The first five minutes of "tingle up my leg" Matthews and Mangos are a hoot. There is also a pudgy bald little man on CNN that is on sometime during the day that has been wrong on everything he has said.

    I haven't watched CNN since that Malaysian plane went missing. LOL

    I love me some FOX News though. Simply because they have some foxes on that network. Now when the blowhards, Hannity, Tucker and Lauren come on, I'm out.

    This layoff is specifically about a handful of employees concerning health, per this thread title.

    Certainly there will be layoffs like that. Trump and the Republicans cutting health care and insurance by the MILLIONS!

    There is not much to write about once they are gone.

    However, there will be many new jobs at the obituary news desks as the fallout gets going from the New Republican Healthcare (no health) Plan.

    Enjoy, America! MAGA!

    I kinda suspect the only reason CNN is still on is because they have deals with businesses all over the place to keep them on. I see it running in my doctors office every time I'm there but no one watches it - I think it's become white noise.

    I've joked for awhile now that MSNBC is secretly funded by Rush Limbaugh so he can have something to talk about.
