Yeah. I’ve never really watched Fox News so I haven’t seen much of him in action. Probably seen more of his dad, Mike Wallace over on 60 Minutes before he died.
But it did seem like a bad career move for him unless he figured he could be comfortably retired anyway if CNN+ didn’t work out.

I think it was a 30 day trial and most of those are expiring now
He's 74 so he's probably not too worried. He made $7 million a year at FOX. He wasn't a Trump fan and I think he wanted to make a statement leaving FOX before retiring anyways.Yeah.

Nah. They're the news face of Warner Bros. Discovery. Too big to fail with their worldwide airport presence, probably But:
CNN+ will shut down at the end of April
CNN+, the streaming service that was hyped as one of the most significant developments in the history of CNN, will shut down on April 30, just one month after it launched.
www.cnn.com
"Warner Bros. Discovery has billions in debt, much of which is a result of the deal to combine the company, and executives are under pressure to find $3 billion in savings that Wall Street is expecting from them."
Hopefully the necessary cuts all around will force them to drop some of their overly expensive propaganda tards. Especially in prime time. Jake Tapper is really the only current CNN personality I could see truly being able to fit into the new "just the news" model that the new management from Discovery might be interested in. I wouldn't mind if the channel were to become watchable again.

Warner Bros. Discovery has pulled the plug on CNN+ after the network’s recently launched streaming service failed to resonate with viewers. It will cease operations on April 30.
Which would mostly be between like 10 cents and $2.99 since they were offering 50% off "for life" to new subscribers through the first month post-launch.

CNN+ will be discontinued on Thursday, two days earlier than was initially announced last week. An email to subscribers pegged the end date as April 28, according to The Verge, and a support page on CNN.com also said that the service will discontinued then. “After April 28, 2022, the CNN+ daily...

“After April 28, 2022, the CNN+ daily and weekly shows, Interview Club, and the on-demand library of CNN Original Series and Films will no longer be available,” the message reads.
Active subscribers will receive a full refund, and subscriptions will be officially canceled on that date.
Last week, CNN’s new parent Warner Bros. Discovery announced that they planned to close CNN+ as of the end of the month, April 30 — a stunning move given that the service was not even a month old and had just launched on March 28. CNN poured nearly $100 million into development costs for the streaming service, in addition to huge expenses on promotion."

"CNN+ employed 300 and had plans for a workforce of about 500. Warner Bros. Discovery said it was working to provide positions for them elsewhere in the company, but in the aftermath of the closure announcement, some CNN posted messages urging other outlets to hire their colleagues."

You’re confused. Don’t bring anyone else into it.
Oh, so you watch FOX?
i was doing a camp railway job and i was watching MSM full time for a few months so i know what im talking about and ive heard the critiques of it too. theres a narrow range of acceptable debate on MSM, plus they dont have good ppl on. in addition they have advertisers and they pick sides with the govt, so in FOX's case theyre effectively state propaganda for republican party
