Respond to of 1578552 UH OH: Struggling CNN just dumped a lot of employees… MAY. 24, 2019 6:01 PM BY THE RIGHT SCOOP • 18 COMMENTS Facebook0 Twitter6 Email0 The struggling media giant is trying to stay afloat in the tough world of liberal ratings and has just let a bunch of employees go: FOX NEWS – Sanjay Gupta is safe, but much of the rest of CNN’s Atlanta-based staff that covers health care found out Tuesday they are getting pink slips — only a few weeks after the network called mass layoffs a “crazy rumor.” Specific details were not yet known, but a source told Fox News that “basically the whole division” will lose their jobs. CNN did not respond to multiple requests for comment. TVNewser, a media watchdog site started by CNN’s Brian Stelter, managed to get confirmation from the network — just in time for a Friday news dump. “As part of the normal course of business, our newsgathering team made a small restructure earlier this week that ultimately impacts 6-7 employees within CNN’s Health Unit,” a CNN spokesperson told TVNewser’s A.J. Katz. Don’t be fooled by CNN’s statement. This is a whole division and it effects more than just 6 or 7 employees. In fact they are buying out more that 100 employees as they shed weight: Staffers are shocked, as the health department is considered successful and CNN recently declared that no layoffs were imminent. The more than 100 CNN employees who decided to accept a voluntary buyout option included CNN International executive vice president Tony Maddox, who left the ratings-challenged network after 21 years CNN has been struggling for ratings for a long time and I guess that apple commerical didn’t help. They used to compete with MSNBC for last place, but MSNBC has risen a lot thanks to all of their super hype and lies about the Mueller report.
