"CNN is already owned by a right-wing Trump supporter and has compromised itself accordingly. The firing started right away in that new regime. That's why Jim Acosta is no longer there and others are no longer there. And everyone who remains has become much more careful in anything they might even think of saying about Donald Trump. Rounding on Jennings, the host continued: And now CNN eagerly pays a Trump supporter to lie on CNN every day and night for Donald Trump."
"CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery's stock jumped last week after CEO David Zaslav revealed that the company has attracted multiple parties interested in a potential acquisition. The disclosure came as the media giant announced its board had launched a strategic review following recent unsolicited interest. The move effectively signals that WBD is open to offers, with CBS parent firm Paramount Global, now under David Ellison's leadership, reportedly among those pursuing a deal."
Lawrence O'Donnell called CNN an absurdly degraded network and accused CEO Mark Thompson and ownership of compromising editorial independence by paying conservative pundit Scott Jennings to lie about Donald Trump. O'Donnell asserted that firings under the new regime removed reporters like Jim Acosta and made remaining staff cautious about criticizing Trump. Warner Bros. Discovery's stock jumped after CEO David Zaslav disclosed multiple parties interested in acquiring the company and a board-launched strategic review, signaling openness to offers. Paramount Global reportedly expressed interest. O'Donnell said CNN previously paid Trump supporters during the first Trump campaign, stopped, and then resumed under current leadership.
