PykerCNN lays off 100s of staff...Merry Christmas!
LinkHLN is toast after December 6. Robin Meade gets a pink slip.
quote:
CNN on Thursday laid off hundreds of staffers and made other sweeping changes that CEO Chris Lictht admitted was a “gut punch” to the network. Among the biggest changes: All live programming on HLN will be halted starting on Dec. 6.
Licht singled out the work of Robin Meade, the “Morning Express” anchor who has been with HLN since 2001. In place of her show, CNN’s longtime sister channel will instead simulcast “CNN This Morning.” HLN crime programming will move under Warner Bros. Discovery Networks and will be led by Kathleen Finch as it merges with ID.
“I want to take a moment to thank Robin Meade — she is not only an exceptionally popular anchor, but also one of the longest-running morning hosts in history,” Licht wrote in a staff memo outlining the layoffs and restructuring the outlet is undergoing. “I know the HLN audience will miss her and the other HLN talent.”
CNN did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for clarification on if Meade will stay at the network following this change.

Slippery PeteI had to listen to somebody, can't recall who it was yesterday, qualify himself by saying he doesn't wish anyone harm at Christmas but he was glad CNN blah blah blah.
I'm 1000 miles beyond that. Screw em. Traitors. They helped crew the ship, doesn't matter if it wasn't them manning the cannons.
Let the enemy rot.

darthfusterWhen credibility is your stock in trade and you abandon it for an ideology based on falsities and deception, this is part of the result. Likely those jilted employees will learn all of the wrong lessons from it.

bordethGood riddance to at least part of the stain on downtown Atlanta. I have always hated those big red communist letters next to the World Congress Center. Hopefully they are taken down soon as well.

Johnny 3eaglesMaybe they can learn to code.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

For me,
Forensic Files reruns at 3 AM. And Robin Meade.
But not much else.

It was rhetorical. Airports are the only pace I remember seeing CNN Headline News. People are not likely to return to books for the same reason CNN is sticking a fork in Headline News, they’re relics. People will continue using their personal portable information screens. I’m not knocking books, I love books.
