CNN is reportedly set to nix some of its top talent in a round of post-election layoffs.

The rumblings, first reported by Puck News, come as high-paid personalities like Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer were reportedly recently denied raises.

Insiders told Puck the new round of firings will likely see on-air talent like them affected, as the network's new CEO looks to free up finances amid waning ratings.

MSM is circling the drain. They will pull the DNC along with them.

The only “talent” they have is John King. All their election night viewers came from people wanting to watch him or the melts.

Between this and leaving CNN Center, the network is circling the drain.

They still owned by Discovery Warner?

I’m surprised Zatzov didn’t shut them all down well before this given his willingness to shitcan all kinds of projects where they have already spent the money yet they are still paying “talent” there.

Pravda getting trimmed back. That is a real shame. They have to move to the middle to survive.

Trump exposing the Fake News ended it for all of the biased media [aka the media]. People no longer believe their lies and that have lost all credibility. This election further confirmed it. Trump broke the MSM. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.

MSNBC for sale as well. The big NBC, ABC, and CBS will be alright for the foreseeable future but the leftist cable channels will go the way of Air America.

Supposedly he didn't accept a pay cut and plans to get into podcasting. Thinks he's the next Rogan.
