By Matthew Garrahan in Los Angeles – Jan 23,
2014.
CNN has laid off more
than 40 senior journalists in its newsgathering operation – including a
pregnant producer who was two weeks away from giving birth to twins – as part
of a reorganization of the business under Jeff
Zucker.
The cutting of
production and editorial staff at the Time Warner-owned group comes as Mr Zucker
tries to re-establish CNN as the dominant force in 24 hour cable news,a
crown it lost several years ago to Fox News Channel.
The lay-offs at CNN and HLN, its sister network, were concentrated in Washington, Atlanta and Los Angeles at the end of 2013. CNN declined to comment on the laying off the pregnant news producer, who worked for the company for more than a decade, saying it could not comment on individual employees.
Editor’s notes: I have to laugh every time I see such a
story. Understand that Zucker is
intending to add a 100 journalist, before
the end of the year. Yeah, sure. And his “CNN” will be back on top within the
next 20 minutes, too.
The fact of the matter is this:
America is a “center Right” nation,
not a “center Left or socialist” nation.
CNN, NBC, Times Inc., and, the WaPost, are bucking the populace opinion. They are kicking against the rocks and are
losing that battle. THAT is the news
coming out of this story.
