You live by Obama, you die by Obama

ETA: MSNBC in ratings free fall too

The market has spoken and it doesn't like the State controlled press.

Hard to celebrate Americans losing their jobs, even if you do have a boiling hatred for Obama.

yep. the article seemed almost gleeful.

and this has nothing to do with obama. CNN sucked long before obama came around, and have had problems for years.

Perhaps it is a celebration of 550 folks that no longer live with the shackles and chains of job lock.

I totally agree, and I'm not celebrating. I was in the same position a year ago by a major company. My point is that CNN's upper management mistakes of what and how to cover news over the years is a huge fail. Unfortunately, the little guy has to pay the price.

The concept of being laid off is capitalism's huge black mark.

As opposed to creating more debt and never laying off anyone in the public sector?

So you want the government to decide who stays and who goes? The market has spoken, and it doesn't approve of the left wing state control media. CNN refused to change course and it will pay the price.

I wonder what CNN's target audience is? They've tacked even farther to the Left under Zucker, but I would think the Rex's and Tuba's of the world prefer MSNBC.

No it isn't. The concept that you can lose your job for poor performance drives individuals to be the best they can be. Knowing you have job security leads to incompetence and complacency.

Companies who perform poorly due to upper management decisions do take it out on those who are lower on the totem pole..but those at the top will get what they have coming to them eventually if they are problem. It's merely a bandaid on a broken leg to lay off workers unless those workers were being unproductive and you have to downsize and rebuild.

It's all CNN's fault, They could have stopped what they were doing and started to report actual news at any time, in fact it is not too late, they could step up right now and do the right thing but they won't they would rather become irrelevant and disappear.

CNN really could make some changes and blow the other networks out of the water, but they refuse to make the proper changes and hires. Dan Carlin did a Common Sense show a while back saying give him the reigns of CNN for a short period and they would be the highest rated network on the tube and I agree.


Eta: girlfriend calls it the "Communist News Network"

I find it poetic that these lay offs come on the heels of CNN's deplorable behavior in Ferguson.
