Instead of Blowing $300 Million on CNN+, 240 Million Pizzas?
Thirty two days can’t be described as the end of an era, but we have reached the end of the CNN+ error.

Here's a question: What could CNN have spent the reported $300 million on instead of CNN+? Let’s take a look.
The Final Moments of CNN+: Sad Wolf Blitzer and a Useless App
“This video is unavailable right now.” With just hours to go before CNN pulls the plug on their streaming pipedream, CNN+, that’s the message a subscriber sees if they try to play anything; if they can find anything.

CNN’s Matt Egan spun himself into a whirlpool of insanity trying to downplay bad economic growth.

Are You High? CNN's New Boss Implies CNN Isn't an 'Advocacy Network'
Mediaite summarized new CNN boss David Zaslav's earnings call with investors in this headline: "David Zaslav Tells Investors CNN’s New Mission Will Be ‘Journalism First’ While Jabbing at ‘Advocacy Networks’."

Study: Media 12x More Likely to Use 'Don't Say Gay' Label for FL Law
If you relied exclusively on broadcast or liberal cable networks for your news, you’d likely be surprised to learn that Florida’s recently-passed education law was not officially titled, “the Don’t Say Gay law.” An MRC analysis found that TV networks almost exclusively referred to the law by this politically-charged epithet, with most outlets only using the law’s official name one or two times…
Chris Wallace BEGS a Producer for a Film About His Trump Interviews
During the final days of CNN+ as dies a slow death, on Monday, struggling host Chris Wallace invited Hollywood producer Brian Grazer on his show Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace and embarrassingly pressed him for a movie featuring his interviews with former President Trump. And the kicker? Grazer seemed very much open to working with him on the “project.”
How Cute: CNN+ Thought 29 Million ‘Super Fans’ Would Pay to Watch Them
Ahead of CNN+ turning out its lights on Friday, Axios’s Sara Fischer chimed in Tuesday with yet another scoop stating that, according to internal CNN documents from last month, the liberal network hilariously claimed there are “29 million ‘CNN super fans’” out there willing to pay up for the soon-to-be-deceased streaming platform.

CNN Terrified of Free Speech on Twitter: Would You Go to Elon’s Party?
With Elon Musk’s deal to acquire Twitter finalized on Monday, CNN Newsroom was left shaken by the idea that free speech would be allowed on the platform that they’ve used to gaslight the public and boost their egos. This fear ranged from concerns about former President Trump’s return to analogies suggesting Twitter would become a debauched and dirty party that will chase away users.…
Through the Heart: Stelter Gets Confronted with CNN+’s FAILURE
With his CNN+ show Reliable Sources Daily not even surviving through the final week of the streaming service, chief media reporter Brian Stelter kicked off Sunday’s Reliable Sources by bemoaning the death of his show and again claiming it was “too early to know” if it was a “success or failure.” But during the panel discussion, Stelter was confronted by Axios reporter Sara…
CNN, MSNBC Cry Racism Over Florida GOP Map, Spread Misinfo
