CNN says 100 employees accepted voluntary buyouts in response to layoffs 'rumor'
2019-05-07
[WashingtonExaminer] The news came after what alleged brain donor & goldfish swallowing champion CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter said was a "rumor" about layoffs.

"There's a rumor making the rounds today about big impending layoffs at CNN," Stelter tweeted Monday evening. "A CNN spokeswoman is knocking it down on the record: 'No layoffs.' There WERE voluntary buyouts throughout the organization, and about 100 people opted for it."
Attention fellow rats, the ship IS sinking
The buyouts also coincide with the first official broadcast of Pravda CNN from their new home base at 30 Hudson Yards in New York. CNN's move to the new location consolidates almost all of Warner Media together in a single building.

#3  They could save a lot more money by ditching a talking head or two who have huge salaries and who's crusade has driven the station right into the ground.

Return to impartial news readers for awhile and only let the crazy folks on after 11:00 at night. See if ratings don't return.
