Report: Jake Tapper’s Executive Producer Fired in Latest CNN Sex Scandal

Nobody watches CNN anymore. The network is now permanently mired in third place in cable news ratings, but instead of trying to produce better programming, it seems everybody at CNN is too busy trying to get into the pants of their co-workers, which may be part of the reason why their ratings are so bad: […]

Post-Election Bonfire of Schadenfreude: ‘Hundreds’ Being Laid Off at CNN

It’s a “mostly peaceful” end for the journalism careers of a lot of deadwood on the payroll of the third-place cable news network: CNN started to inform staffers of layoffs, as its chairman and CEO Chris Licht wrote that notices will go out on Wednesday and Thursday. “Today we will notify a limited number of […]

‘Mashed Tater’: Ace of Spades Frantically Seeks New Target of Fat Jokes as CNN Axes Unpopular Pudgy Bald Guy

Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav is known for running a tight ship — he’s all about the profits — and from the moment that CNN+ launched, it was obviously doomed. The report […]

Sweet Payday for Jeff Zucker

You remember when the malignant dwarf Jeff Zucker was forced out at CNN last month because he was shtupping the last-place network’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer Allison Gollust? And do you also remember when Gollust, whose main job qualification as a network executive was being Jeff Zucker’s girlfriend, later exited CNN blabbering […]

Today, mainly out of curiosity but also perhaps revealing a deep-seated masochistic tendency, I switched my office TV to CNN, where today there were three main stories: (a) the walls are still closing in on Trump, (b) the sentencing of the cop who accidentally shot Daunte Wright in Minnesota, and (c) ZOMG THE CRISIS IN […]
