celeb news Anderson Cooper at risk of being unemployed; mass layoff imminent at CNN

CNN 'will axe top stars in layoffs that'll see hundreds fired as ratings continue to tank'
 

CNN is planning to wield the axe on some of its high-paid staff after dismal election ratings that cap off a disastrous period for the cable news network. 
 

According to an explosive new report from Puck, network executives will unleash sweeping lay-offs in a bid to save the network's flailing reputation. 

 

It comes after the departure of stalwart Chris Wallace, and amid reports senior stars like Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper have both been denied raises. 
 

There is no mention of who may be on the chopping block. 

 

The highest paid stars include Anderson Cooper - who rakes in $20million a year - Erin Burnett ($6million) and rising star Kaitlan Collins ($3million). 

 

Byers wrote: 'Redundant assignments will be nixed, and various divisions will be reduced or even eliminated.

 

'Some of the on-air talent are also likely to be affected,' he went on to reveal.

 

The man behind it, they said, is none other than new CEO Mark Thompson - the former New York Times boss brought in to overhaul the network under its Warner Bros. Discovery parent.

Oh no! Whatever will the 'grossly overpaid' multi-millionaire ever do! Cable is officially on its death bed it seems. This has been predicted for ages now, but it seems to be accelerating ratings wise across the board.

Here we go. Another Hollywood crybaby. If they let him go, he can EASILY start his own show on YouTube.

[Radical Pessimism]

Don is better

[EnoughSaid]

CNN is definitely on its death bed, there's no livelihood over there. I think it was a mistake to fire Don and Chris. At least MSNBC and Fox are still somewhat delivering to their base

[truthteller]

maybe he can pull a tucker carlson post fox news

[Katamari]

maybe they should stop making comedy shows that no one cares about  they don't have the audience that fox news has (where ppl tune in for entertainment)  

 

CNN is really over tho   time to start that social media blitz i guess. they seem popular on youtube tho

If they fire Anderson and Kaitlin what's even the point of watching CNN anymore? We're going to be stuck with...Dana Bash. Anderson and Kaitlin will 100% get picked up by another channel but CNN's glory days are over.

To both Anderson and CNN tanking!

[Dula Peep]

Don won

Good. It's what they deserve for trying to pivot into becoming 'Fox Lite'.

[Vixen Eyes]

i hope he does OF, id immediately subscribe, even if it was half my weekly paycheck!

[Elusive Chanteuse]

Good.

 Kathy ha revenge

I haven't turned on my TV in over a week, and that's probably not changing. MSNBC and CNN can rot—they're all complicit in normalizing and creating a false equivalence with Trump over the last decade.

[Dancehall Queen]

OF is too vanilla for AC. He needs to be on JFF. 

[Save-Me-Oprah]

The biggest gag here is that Erin Burnett makes $6 million a year, her show is so plain
