Priya Chand@catvalente ooo Rolling Stone actually called him out by name, Chris Licht https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-cnn-town-hall-network-insiders-disgrace-1234733328/
Steven HiltonLicht is not the owner. The "owner" is the CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, David Zaslav. He is Licht's boss.
Mori@catvalente #Bingo. Was wondering much the same thing… maybe they missed the memo?

I don’t have amnesia, I was hoping it wouldn’t be so bad. But tonight, I am done with CNN. I purposely didn’t watch; the reporting on it is vile enough.
I’m so mad that not only am I done with CNN, I want to actively punish it! And, I’m cutting my Verizon FIOS TV subscription too!

Janis@DemocracyMattersALot @catvalente This is the way. Most of what we pay for in media is through subscriptions to platforms. Cable providers basically fund Fox network.
edgeoforever 🍎@DemocracyMattersALot @catvalente Good! I gave up cable, satellite decades ago. Between broadcast (with a $3 antenna) Netflix and Mastodon, I have all the news and entertainment I can ever want.
Kalen Kimm@catvalente never forget
Tom Ritchford@catvalente every day this week, I am contacting two companies that advertise on CNN to tell them that I will not do business with them for one year.
Wm.sonI am doing this will performers who aren't boycotting FL and other regressive states. Not many answer when I use the posted contact info--Brad Williams, a very funny guy did and said "unless you want to pay for my daughters college education and mortgage...blah blah blah." I replied "I get it, but it's about ethics and morals." No answer.
@Sfwmson @catvalente never heard of this morally empty person, but he seems to be worth millions.
Note how this dish rag blames his daughter, because he does not have the spine to take responsibility for his own actions.
@catvalente even before that purchase, it was led by tfg’s former Apprentice producer. It has been always supine to him. I recall reading stories about empty podiums on camera, waiting for HIS appearance. Hardly any Hillary rallies were broadcasted. CNN hired tfg’s former campaign manager as a commentator. During the campaign.
Jedigal007I have not watched them for several years now. After the buy out there were obvious changes, like a bomb going off and the news anchor simply saying “oh, wow,” leaving the gaping wound unattended, silencing truth, promoting lies and propaganda.
How last night came as a surprise or turning point for anyone is a day late and a dollar short. I’m confident CNN’s intent is to flip all independents to fascism.
Prog Seeker ☑️🌊 
@catvalente I for one have not forgotten. I gave up using them as a news source when the purchase happened.
Kronos@catvalente He BS his way thru the whole interview and the fact that assholes applauded him is telling how fucked up we are as a nation.
Scott Swaim@catvalente well, it certainly looks like CNN is moving down the same path as Fox News wirh Chris Licht at the helm. Me, I’m off that network for good.

🍸Pooka🥕Boo🍸Ms. Carroll should sue CNN for defamation. They knowingly defamed her, knowing full well that the drumpfenstein monster would defame her himself again. And, they did it with malice by submitting the question to him. Sue Sue Sue Ms. Carroll!
AL@catvalente
I've noticed, and removed them from my viewing schedule. Its another failure in their column. I also know that the #gop does not care what I or anyone thinks, remember, the first step in a revolution is to take over the media.

jennifer marie brissett@catvalente Exactly so.
MessagingMatters@catvalente Ironically, some folks are taking to #Twitter, or reprinting posts from there, to complain about #CNN platforming #Trump. Hmm....
Steffen Christensen@catvalente Damn, I totally forgot about this! Thank you for reminding us all!
Karl Morant 🇨🇦 
🖖It was endless coverage of Trump that got him elected the first time.
It appears that they are trying to get him elected again.
Remember, never watch CNN, and friends don't let friends watch fascist media, like Fox and CNN.
Espinada@catvalente idk, but ever since “news channels” became a thing, I figured they’d be doing crap like this all the time. After all, it’s whole premis is to pound their viewpoint on as many people as possible, and above all, make money. 🤷🏻♀️
It ain’t news if it’s mostly about their own opinion.

MattRead the classic “Amusing Ourselves to Death” then ask yourself why you watch ANY television “news” at all
obscurestar@catvalente CNN has always been right wing. Were you not around during the Bush Jr Administration?
Kim Scheinberg@catvalente
Calling John Malone a conservative asshole understates him by a lot.
Peter Thiel aspires to be as evil as Malone. He's a caricature of a Bond villain.
Raven Onthill@catvalente more like Newsweek. 😠
@catvalente CNN is letting their brand name to be abused by a Turkish company who has licensed their brand for decades. The company has deep ties with the strongman running the country and spreading misinformation 24/7. Think like RT running with a CNN logo. This is just one of the scandals they were involved with https://www.turkishminute.com/2019/03/26/chps-us-representative-claims-cnn-investigating-cnn-turks-poor-journalism/amp/
CHP’s US representative claims CNN investigating CNN Türk’s ‘poor journalism’ - Turkish Minute
Yurter Özcan, the US representative for Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), claimed on Tuesday that CNN has started looking into the “poor journalism” of CNN Türk after he sent a letter to CNN International asking it to launch an inquiry into its Turkish franchise due to its violation of the basic principles of […]
Charlie Galvin@catvalente We’re not suffering from amnesia. We’re simply shocked and appalled that the network now owned by a conservative a—hole would give Donald Trump a prime time opportunity to lie, gaslight and squeal like a a conservative a—hole.
@catvalente hey! "No fair remembering stuff!"
Mike MacgirvinWhich conservative asshole? I remember when it and the whole Time-Warner enterprise were bought by Steve Case (America Online) because the same asshole bought the little internet browser startup where I was employed. I'm not familiar with any other conservative assholes that have taken the reigns over the years but then again, I haven't been paying much attention. The website is stuffed chockers with malware and spyware and click-bait and auto-play videos and is pretty hostile to humans -- and we don't get their cable channels on this side of the planet.
Ursidinoj/The Bjornsdottirs@catvalente CNN got bought? I thought they naturally just did this.
Patriotic Cats@catvalente how else can the right keep control?
Travis@catvalente @elvo86 I gave up on CNN about 15 years ago. It just trash.
Jeff Stone@catvalente As good a general news source as #cnn is, I just deleted the CNN app from my phone and blocked #google Discover from showing me CNN content.

@catvalente I noticed and wrote to them. Received silence in response, which I expected. I no longer watch CNN.
I have not watched Faux since the second Gulf war.
The new owner is hoping to cash in by stepping in where Fox fears to tread, now. It's about money after all. From Trump to MTraitorG to even Chuck Todd, it's about MONEY.
