Left wing cable network CNN has announced another round of layoffs, according to a leaked memo reportedly sent by network CEO Chris Licht earlier today.
In a memo with today’s date, Licht informed employees that “many” members of the team will be impacted, and described it as a “gut punch” for those employees who remain.
“Today we will notify a limited number of individuals, largely some of our paid contributors,” Licht reportedly wrote, adding that “Tomorrow, we will notify impacted employees,” with more information forthcoming in the afternoon.
The comparatively new CNN CEO then explained that those employees losing their jobs may be informed via a Zoom call.
“If your job has been impacted,” wrote Licht, “you will lean more through an in-person meeting or via Zoom, depending on your location.”

This news comes on the heels of a report that said CNN was planning to cut more jobs beginning on December 1 as part of the network’s new strategy to ditch its far-left moniker and cut expensive salaries in the process.
According to that report, Licht was appointed CEO with the understanding that he would trim $100 million from the network’s salaries – in no small part, by cutting off its longest employed and most expensive far-left hosts – in a bid to make it competitive in the current market.
Fox News recently reported that an insider claimed CNN has “a lot of fat” from the era of anti-Make America Great Again icon Jeff Zucker, and “these layoffs are probably necessary” for the network’s continued survival.
At the same time, Licht and his bean crunchers were likely monitoring CNN’s ratings during the crucial midterms period.
Though the network did better than a typical night, it continued to be dwarfed by Fox News, possibly cementing in stone the layoffs that are beginning today.

What a shame. May if CNN reported the news instead of reporting Left-Wing Propaganda they wouldn’t be in this situation. Fire them all!
OH HAPPY DAY! OH HAPPY DAY! This just warms my heart. I agree with Phuck U Biden wholeheartedly.
It makes my heart sink!
Nothing about CNN happened in vacuum. They earned every bit of public distrust they deal with now. I hope this radical outfit collapses completely.
Elon Musk probably could buy CNN for far less than he paid for Twitter. It would be another option where the fake news could be replaced by truthful journalism. There is a market for truthful journalism and Musk could restore CNN to its successful day.
Have Musk buy CNN and either “Dismantle it” or Make it like Fox News and let the Leaks” begin !
Great news just hope they go bankrupt
Good, hope you they bankrupt.
Now they will have to play updated cartoons on airport monitors or just play reruns of fake news. How will we sort that out?
I admit it! I am a Fox News/Fox Business viewer for 90% of my news. However, the one CNN program I watch religiously every single morning is Robin Meade & Co. on HLN, as well as that very same time slot on the weekends. I love these ladies (and Bob!) They put a light spin on the news without major political input, and merrily start my days. I guess cutting the program means CNN doesn’t want me to watch them at all! :O I sure hope Robin and Co. (yes the whole team) get picked up by another network and keep the format the same, because they are “that” good! Until then, I guess I’ll just sit by my wood stove and pout! 😀
The HARM that CNN and the other so-called “media” outlets caused this country with their Left-Wing Propaganda is staggering….
