    Damn. CNN had a similar change relating to new leadership. If not to damage CNN and other traditional news sources, what are they even trying to accomplish? It’s not like conservatives are coming back to replace the progressive viewers who were pushed away. The result is less revenue for CNN; less revenue for NYT…

    But maybe that’s the point like with Twitter. They “invest” the purchase price so they can kill the network or ruin its credibility to remove the contrast between the nonsense on Fox, OAN, etc and previously respected organizations.

    Plus all the local news stations are being quietly bought by larger organizations with the same intentions if not worse.

    Good faith journalism has been experiencing a hostile takeover, and it’s speeding up.
