Think things couldn’t get better now that Elon owns Twitter, has fired a bunch of woke execs, and is supposedly preparing to fire a huge chunk of the company’s woke staffers?
Think again. All that’s happening, but it’s not just woke Twitter employees that are going to get pink slips. Turns out, CNN employees might be given the boot too.
That’s because CNN’s new boss, Chris Licht, remains committed to making the once-important news network a functional news network again rather than a cesspool of mostly unwatched leftist opinion. As such, he needs to do what Musk is gearing up to do and fire a bunch of woke employees.

While I’m not going to laugh at anyone losing their jobs, especially around the holidays, I’m not going to cry either. Twitter people got huge golden parachutes, no doubt CNN folks will have nice exit packages. Yet lots of regular people will lose jobs in this economy and just get the pink slip. BUT - this decline of left-leaning influencers and the timing of it is certainly the result of the crazy leftward antics of the Biden administration.

Assuming the firees are "woke", Christmas wouldn't mean much to them anyway!

If they truly want to bring CNN back to it's Origin, they will have to fire ALL of the Talking Heads and hire people who are not just like them! All of the Talking Heads were not able to say anything good, or true, about Conservatives. They hated them. Chris Licht has his work cut out for him to find anyone who will different from what he already has!

Can CNN ever regain any respect? I believe it would take years and I believe it will be gone in years. Conservatives don't trust them a lick and their loony leftist viewers are attacking them 24/7. Who's left to watch it?

" ... CNN Set to Start Firing Lots of Employees ... " - this has been a very long time coming but, as the old saying goes: "every dog has its days" oblivion is a good place for some of them at the Communist News Network

For me to watch CNN has to level out their political orientation and that will take 40 years of extreme MAGA performance. Then they're even, not by moving few liberal liars around the board.

When you cater to one extreme, there are consequences. Having gone through a layoff myself, I know that once the rumors start, smart people start looking for new jobs. CNN employees had to know it was inevitable once CNN was sold and Licht took over. I'll bet that CNN has experienced a high attrition rate for the past year. Managements don't care, as it means fewer people to dump and less severance to pay. Hopefully, all that are left are the "true believers" who think they're special and will be gobsmacked to find out they're not. Karma is a you-know-what.

I got laid off about 3 years ago for the first time in my life. Being over 50 in high tech with 2 kids in college it was pretty stressful. After 6 months I found a good paying job and I'm much better off now than before the layoff.
Every journalist should have to go through the same experience so they have perspective when writing about middle America. This will be a great opportunity for them to gain life experience!

CNN can't regain its news spirit if it ever had one. Once it leaned left then gained that audience the die was cast. If Licht goes a bit to the right the crazy leftist will leave, then CNN will never gain a FOX audience so damn if they do damn if they don't. I'll never watch but where will Wolf go? Hi and goodnight, Happy Holidays jerks.

Great fun. Will they ever become an acutal news network as opposed to a leftist Fake News propaganda factory?

Between Twitter and CNN it sounds like being a Leftist can be hazardous to your wealth (your income). I have little sympathy for these people because they they have enthusiastically displayed their arrogance because they thought they were "safely" ensconced in a hard Left organization. How the worm turns. But they cannot escape their past behavior.
Behaviors should evoke consequences. The Left has managed, by hook or by crook, to evade many consequences for their actions. Consider that the media is supposed to be a check on bad or unwise political behavior. If they had done their job, they would have dope slapped the dems, long ago, for jumping off the cliff of socialism. BO could not have gotten away with a lackluster economy for most of his term. Hillary's Russia meme/scheme would have collapsed if honest questions were asked. Two impeachments with no evidence would have been unthinkable if the media was honest. The worst inflation in 40 years and dangerous fuel shortages could not have been swept under the rug.
But the media did NOT do its job and that allowed the dems to carry out their increasing insanity while thinking they were untouchable. Now we are all paying the price for their extremes and hubris and it is likely the dems are going to be wiped out in November. The protective screens around Brandon are about to completely collapse. He is about to become a YUGE scapegoat because the Left will never abandon their agenda. Any failures are due to personal incompetence. They discard the incompetent person and then continue on.
They face a BIG challenge however. Their media is no longer credible. Really bad things have happened and the electorate KNOWS it is the dems fault, that their IDEAS are garbage. Dems have no effective media cover. They have lost their "moderate" members who used to pivot to appeal to the electorate. The radicals in the dem party have NO CLUE how to compromise and recover. All they know is screaming, tantrums, and attacks. But most people KNOW them now. Those tactics will not work.
It's a tragedy that we had to reach this point and suffer through it, especially the most vulnerable in society. The fault can be laid on the media who failed to hold dems accountable and the dems who have happily become socialists.

This article reads as if the sole problem at CNN is too many people. The real problem at CNN is too may liberals, none of which care about real news, but instead care only about CNN being their liberal playpen, crafting the news to suit their belief system. Until these folks are replaced, CNN will never be a news channel. The DNC DNA is strong at CNN!

I don’t know how they can afford to pay these people millions when there are billboards on the interstate that get more daily viewers.

Between Twitter and CNN, 100's of woke executives will be walking the streets unemployed, what a sacry thought.
