Okay, on the bright side? Aaron Rodgers can now spend more time being laser-focused on getting the New York Jets to 8-9 next season, offering more insights on the next "bright, shiny thing" he read about online that must be true, and pushing back on CNN's reporting that he peddled in Sandy Hook shooting conspiracies[...]

Earlier this week, we learned that ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon & Twittter/X owner Elon Musk's business bromance that was built around Lemon's upcoming The Don Lemon Show had fallen apart We're talking give-back-the-friendship-bracelets-level of falling apart. Lemon got a chance to interview Musk last week – and we're guessing that it didn't go well after Lemon[...]

If you hold a debate where most of the candidates running won't actually be on the stage for it, did you really hold a debate? CNN is finding itself having to tackle that very twisted take on the "If a tree falls…" quandary when the new network holds a Republican debate at Drake University in[...]

When it comes to New Year's Eve and the best way to spend the night in front of the television, we find that bouncing back and forth between ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest and CNN's year-end fest hosted by Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper Each of them offers a whole[...]

Now, a year after the actor suffered a near-fatal snowplow accident that resulted in serious injuries (including more than 30 broken bones) that would require months of therapy, Renner confirmed to Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper during CNN's New Year's Eve special that he's ready to return "I think I'm ready I think I'm strong enough[...]

It's not like GOP 2024 POTUS Candidate & Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appearing on CNN for an interview with Jake Tapper wasn't sweet enough all by itself I mean, how badly is DeSantis's campaign going that he's sitting down with the same network he's railed against in the past? But then that sweet, sweet symbolism[...]

In fact, the group of LGBTQ conservatives known as the Log Cabin Republicans even referred to the video as "ventured into homophobic territory." Speaking with Dana Bash on CNN's State of the Union, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg shared his thoughts on the DeSantis video – and how it might speak more about the Florida governor[...]

And so did CNN, which was a growing train wreck under Chris Licht's reported "leadership" until recently But while both of those are surprising – the biggest jaw-dropper? MSNBC actually saw its ratings… wait for it… rise Seriously As in, they went up – the opposite direction from down In fact, the news channel saw[...]

After a tumultuous run as CNN CEO & Chairman, we learned on Wednesday that Chris Licht's time at the news network had officially come to an end. Ratings were plummeting, the network's reputation was taking another beating for hosting what many believed to be a glorified infomercial for Donald Trump, and rumblings about worsening morale were[...]

Heading into last Friday's profile piece in The Atlantic, things were already looking pretty lousy for CNN CEO Chris Licht Ratings were plummeting, the network's reputation was taking another beating for hosting what many believed to be a glorified infomercial for Donald Trump, and rumblings about worsening morale were getting louder with each passing day[...]

So when CNN CEO Chris Licht spent most of last week still getting lit up in the press & on social media for the infomercial he gifted Donald Trump earlier this month, Zaslav sprang into action to show Licht that he knows what it's like to be publically ridiculed And he did that by showing[...]

Well, it looks like CNN's Donald Trump/Kaitlan Collins infomercial continues to be a gift that keeps on giving, with CNN CEO Chris Licht doing such a wonderfully horrible job that he's given FOX "News" an out for all of the free time back in 2020 they gave Trump to spew his nonsense But that's not all[...]

By now, we've made it pretty clear that the Donald Trump/Kaitlan Collins infomercial from earlier this week was probably about as low as CNN CEO Chris Licht's once-proud news channel has gone since Warner Bros Discovery David Zaslav gave Licht his marching orders to make CNN a high-priced public access channel where any whackjob theory[...]

The day after CNN hosted a televised pep rally for Donald Trump, the alleged news network continues to face backlash – and rightfully so But as CNN CEO Chris Licht sees it, we should be thanking him In an audio recording of the network's Thursday morning editorial call obtained by Deadline Hollywood, Licht can be[...]

You can't really blame Donald Trump or moderator Kaitlan Collins for the nightmare that was last night's town hall meeting on CNN any more than you can blame a steaming pile of poop for being a steaming pile of poop You know what you're getting With Trump, you're getting a twice-impeached former POTUS who attempted[...]

Following up on the news from earlier that primetime host Tucker Carlson had parted ways with FOX "News," CNN and morning show host Don Lemon have also "parted ways" – though Lemon is calling out the way the 24-hour news channel handled the move, alluding to there being "some larger issues at play" that led[...]
