1. Poor Jake

bending over backwards to please his new overlords, whatever integrity he ever had is being squandered on bullshit attacks. So glad I turned off CNN a while back.

[dchill]

17. Now THAT'S the very definition...

...of butthurt!

[chillfactor]

2. I USED to enjoy listening to Tapper

but he has become FAUX LITE!

[tiredtoo]

3. CNN is trying to get back in the game

By luring trump supporters to the fox light station. Well, so far I know of one viewer they have lost.

[AmBlue]

12. Yeah... and here's another.

Sickening to see their hard veer to the dark side... and for WHAT? Ratings? When we have no country left because of THEIR negligence, maybe they're just jockeying for first consideration to be official "state-run" teevee?? You know, like in Russia?

NO. THANK. YOU.

4. Never really cared for Tapper. I'll take Anderson Cooper,

Brianna Kieller, Don Lemon and Jim Acosta over Jake any day.

[JohnSJ]

5. Fuck tapper. After his over the top hyperbole against Biden on the Afghanistan withdrawal, tapper

made it clear where his bias is, especially in his misrepresentation of what Biden said regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal

This went far beyond just being critical against the withdrawal problem, this was an over the top tirade by tapper against Biden

6. Jake Tapper has always been a self-righteous douchecanoe.

Seeing him use those characteristics in support of US soldiers who have been misused in wars of choice and neglected upon return home was fine. He was annoying but he had a valid point.

Using them to earn brownie points with the new CNN boss to keep his job is just pathetic.

21. ..."self-righteous douchecanoe"...

I had never heard that expression. But it fits!

[Takket]

7. just goes to show how completely immoral these people are

Tapper seemed like a decent enough guy. Called out drumpf bullshit on a daily bases for years. and the second his new boss tells him to move to the right, he just moves to the right, with no regard for integrity or ethics of journalism.

it isn't our fault that facts and truth hove a left win bias

[Earth-shine]

8. Tapper is going to fit right in with the new CNN.

Never liked him. He always seemed snotty and nasty, with a penchant for bothsiderism.

[CentralMass]

9. Tapper is going to need more lip balm.

[Funtatlaguy]

10. Jake obviously got the "move right" memo from John Malone

How sad

[rubbersole]

11. I can't believe these "journalists" don't quit.

The entire trumpy scam is coming unraveled in real time as we watch. Trying to be like faux for ratings seems like a real bad business model. Have fun with your reputations.

13. So CNN is owned by Discovery now

The clear impression, from HBOmax To CNN, is that new WB- Discovery CEO Zaslav is swinging the new company in an unequivocal hard right direction. If I read it right all 70 senior management firings were exclusively people of color and LGBTQ.
Batwoman was cancelled, without warning or valid reasoning. Word was Zaslav intends to cancel or any completely rewrite shows in which the main character is a person of color or LGBTQ in order to attract more older white and conservative viewers.

Word is that the demographics of Discovery+ is older, white and conservative and Zaslav wants to align all the other sectors with Discovery+ demographics.

Given that the newly merged company is bleeding viewers and money, over $20 billion in loses so far, it doesn't seem like that is a winning strategy.

14. The mother company that owns it is actually AT&T

[angrychair]

15. Not anymore

Discovery bought WarnerMedia from ATT, creating a new company called Discovery - WarnerMedia.
The purchase includes CNN, HBO, DC Comics and Cartoon Network to name a few.

[JohnSJ]

20. AT&T shareholders received 71% stock of Warner Bros./Discovery, while Discovery

shareholders will own 29% of the new company.

[sakabatou]

16. They've also fucked Cartoon Network and many of its shows

[rockfordfile]

18. Zaslav is a racist pos if that's true.

Warner brothers founder was democrat not pos right-winger.

[Joinfortmill]

19. Tapper not my favorite. CNN not moving in the direction of truth, it seems.
