CNN Cuts Loom: WBD’s Split Sparks Layoffs

📝 DESCRIPTION
CNN Cuts Loom: WBD’s Split Sparks Layoffs

CNN Cuts Loom in the wake of Warner Bros. Discovery’s planned corporate split.

With the company set to divide into Streaming & Studios and Global Networks by mid‑2026, CNN is under the new leadership of CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels. Inside sources are warning of sweeping job cuts, deep cost‑cutting, and a spiritual crisis in the newsroom. Anderson Cooper’s $18 million salary is catching heat as the network’s annual ad revenue is projected to drop from $563 million to under $500 million—and May was CNN’s second‑worst rating month in the key 25–54 demographic.

This video explores:

How falling ratings and debt levels forced WBD’s split.

Why cost‑focused leadership could reshape CNN’s identity.

The real human cost—jobs, morale, and journalistic mission.

At stake is more than a corporate rebrand—it’s the integrity of news. What happens when media giants make accountants the gatekeepers of what we watch?

Is this the survival instinct of business—or a betrayal of public trust? Will CNN become streamlined or stripped of its soul?

🗣️ What do you think? Should CNN be protected as a public necessity—or held strictly to business metrics?
