Report — CNN’s Cooper, Wallace, Tapper on ‘Chopping Block’

CNN’s new CEO is looking at the ratings (he must have an electron microscope), looking at the salaries of his overpaid anchors, and thinking it’s time to make some changes.

InTouch reports, “New CEO Mark Thompson is preparing ruthless cuts to remake the network as ratings plunge — leaving Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper facing dates with the axman, a source says.”

This is what I found fascinating — replacing these liars and basement-rated losers with Megyn Kelly — someone who actually attracts a sizable audience:

Sources say [Thompson] has no use for the star system and the hefty salaries that come with it. He’s reportedly seeking to replace marquee names with talent who built their audiences on social media — including former FOX and NBC anchor Megyn Kelly, who has 1.72 million subscribers on YouTube.
