Good riddance to bad rubbish.

They were doomed to failure once they brought on Chris Wallace.

That she is. Did you see her in her Mom-Hell's Angels shiny black leather pants in the CNN+ "launch party" photos? (Another fantastic waste of money, at Hudson Yards, Manhattan, probably cost altogether about $1,000/guest).

"I laughed so hard that I almost spit up a lung" describes EXACTLY what happened to me when I read this article!! You certainly have a way with words and this article was especially delicious! Bring it on, Emerald. The only thing better than truth is truth with guns blazing mixed with humor! Love it!

I like that: the absolute truth with guns blazing.

No doubt about it --- Emerald is one of the few who understands that a sense of humor --- sharply honed, never allowed to get dull/jaded --- is essential. Why, just look at the alternative: Chrissy Wallace.

Well said Emerald. These same people wanting sympathy for losing their jobs were the same ones cheering on millions of people losing their jobs. They do say that karma is a bitch and the cnn+ employees have found that out the hard way.

Emerald its delicious alright! A guiltless pleasure that warms every fiber of my being. But you didn't mention a notable benefit. The liberation of Airport terminals all across America which were head locked into Jeff Zucker's perverse sham on "trusted news". We're Free!

How come no one could figure out --- wasn't it blatantly obvious? --- that CNN+ was Zucker's poison pill/scorched earth strategy? Whoever would succeed him would have to kill CNN+, which by my estimate BURNED THROUGH ONE-THIRD OF CNN'S 2021 NET PROFIT.

And the dolts are finally catching on that this --- and other financial practices (self-aggrandizing "bust-outs," ala Mafia "investments") --- is "standard operating corporate procedure," with the DJIA losing almost 1,000 points in one day on 04/22/22.

Schadenfreude overload!!! The cherry on top is the rug being pulled out from under Chrissy Wallace, who is now Greg Gutfeld’s new punching bag!!! ;<)

The American public is wiser than given credit for. Who bothers any more with the likes of CNN? Well done, Emerald!

Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of lying assholes!! I do think there is a “space” for a hard news network that is determined to present the news in a honest balanced way, including international stories.

Well, I certainly wondered why CNN+ thought they got a hot property in Chris Wallace. His childish conduct in the Trump debate should have had red flags all over for the producers. I'll bet the people at Fox breathed a huge sigh of relief when he walked out the door there. I learned in my "school" days that when you are up against someone who has a "dainty" ego, you can beat them with ease. I doubt Fox will take him back.

His childish behavior at the debate was exactly what got him the gig at CNN- of course.

Doubt?!?! There's only one possible way they'd rehire him. 1) Rehire 2) A week or so later, fire him --- and physically throw him out of the building, with everything in his office landing on the sidewalk next to him, having been thrown out of his office window.

It's rare, especially these days, that 'we' get any kind of victory. And to have supersonic liar Chris Wallace as the cherry on top of your journalistic sundae must be especially good, Emerald.

Emerald Robinson's avatar

Well, Fox News used to tell its employees that Wallace was an exemplary journalist, and before that it was (drum roll please) Shep Smith!

If Harris's next Chief of Staff has a Ukrainian accent, look under her (the new COS's) dress and make sure it isn't Lt.-Colonel Vindman. Or the twin.

Depending on how you count them, there are just over 3,000 counties in the 50 United States. That means CNN+ was able to scrape up just over THREE subscribers PER COUNTY in the whole U.S.

Not only does that tell you how the American people feel about these losers - it tells you what the midterm elections SHOULD look like for Democrats...

Don Reed's avatar

I regret to remind you that we were all-too-reasonably confident about 2020. Then we discovered after the fact that of those three subscribers in each county, they were the only ones in charge of "counting" the votes.
