Maybe CNN and Faux should just combine networks and be done with it.

A reminder that CNN is now heavily influenced by key Warner Bros. Discovery board member and Trump supporter, John Malone.
Malone is chairman of Liberty Media, Discovery's largest shareholder.
He previously donated $250,000 to Trump's inauguration, and gushed over Fox News' style of 'journalism,' saying, the U.S. "needs Fox News or something like it. Because otherwise, everythings leftist."
The use of his term "leftist" here really says it all.
Malone has also compared himself to Rupert Murdoch: "Rupert is sort of like I am. Hes a libertarian, but he thinks we should have a strong military," he told the Financial Times in 2017.
According to Vox, Malone has repeatedly wished, in public, for CNN to remake itself.
