| Nolte: Doomed CNN Forced to ‘Dramatically' Slash Anchor Salaries |
| 2024-02-17 |
| [Breitbart] Doomed CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and violence, is looking to cut “more than $50 million” in anchor salaries. Let’s start with the current salaries. You are not going to believe how much these assholes are reportedly paid per year:
Normal people watch these CNN losers operate and ask themselves, How can they lie so shamelessly? How do they live with themselves, spreading all this hate, division, violence, and racism? Well, now you know. These soulless propagandists are bought and paid for. Personally, I think CNN failed to understand one key thing when negotiating these salaries: Leftists like Jake Tapper are probably willing to serial lie and meddle in elections for free. You give that guy cab fare and eating money, and he’ll happily lie all the livelong day. The only thing sustaining this garbage outlet is the rigged cable/satellite TV con. With fewer than a half-million viewers, CNN cannot survive on merit (i.e., advertising revenue based on ratings). CNN survives only because about 60 million chumps still pay $150 a month for cable/satellite TV. Every month, even though fewer than one percent of those 60 million watch CNN, all 60 million subsidize CNN through their cable bill. The good news is that streaming is killing cable TV. That 60 million number used to be twice as high. Every year, more and more smart and patriotic Americans cut the cable cord, which is why CNN is doomed. It’s also why CNN is now forced to slash budgets and salaries. “If you work at CNN, your compensation is going to go down dramatically over the next…five years; there’s just no other way around it,” one media and tech analyst told the Wrap. And it appears as though CNN’s latest boss, the disgraced Mark Thompson, is ready to do that. He has no choice. With the left-wing affirmative action of cable/satellite TV coming to an end, CNN is about to be shoved into the bright light of the merit-based streaming culture where it has zero chance of surviving. Nobody watches, trusts, or likes CNN. Back in 2022, when CNN dipped its toe into the merit-based streaming world with CNN+, only 150,000 people signed up. Fewer than 10,000 people tuned in. CNN+ was put out of its misery within weeks. Guess what else isn’t going to save CNN? The 2024 presidential election. |

| #11 It will be interesting to see what happens to these media outlets if the government spigot into them is turned off. How much of Wolf Blitzer’s ridiculous salary is supplemented by three letter agency cash? He has no viewers or talent. CNN must be keeping him on for some reason. |

| #10 Sports players can get outrageous salaries because there's a demand for their product. Which begs the question how these doofusses can get theirs. |

| #8 ^ Yes, and as TW like to point out, that's money that isn't being spent on other aspects of the leftist project. Is preaching to that tiny choir of theirs worth that diversion of resources? |

| #7 While their appeal is becoming more selective, CNN is too valuable as a media voice for pushing the Message of the Day. Look for them to find a private sector sugar daddy or some new government handout/program to keep them afloat. |
