#BoycottCNN Hashtag Trends as Noted Leftwing Propaganda Outlet Turns, Giggle, "Right-Wing"

The Wrath of Tater.

CNN hasn't even "pivoted to centrism" yet, but its Leftist SuperFans and Cultists are mounting a #cancellation effort to show their disapproval.

The backlash from the apparent shift to a moderate editorial direction under new CNN chairman and CEO Chris Licht has clearly struck a nerve with its diehard, shrinking progressive audience. They're absolutely steaming mad.

You don't have to take my word for it.

When I watched Brian Seltzer's last broadcast & hearing Chris Licht, CNN's new leader, met with Republican Congress to see what CNN could do to gain a larger Republican audience, well, I haven't watched since...UNTIL they REMOVE Chris Licht I will not be watching!#BoycottCNN

What few viewers the news network managed to retain are now running away faster than a prairie fire with a tailwind.

Kristen Browde, reportedly one of the network's original staffers, as she claims on Twitter, pleaded with her former network colleagues "to express their serious concern" with recent changes made at the network, presumably changes related to editorial direction and a shift back to the middle from the radical, far left. Her plea was retweeted thousands of times within a few hours.

From Twitchy, here's some more of the #BoycottCNN tweets, starting with full tweet from former CNN employ Kristen Browde.

As an original staffer at CNN, I'm asking all of my former colleagues to express their serious concern with the new editorial direction the network is taking. It's horrifying to thing the #BoycottCNN folks have a point. Remember when Ted and Reese said "The News is the star"?

Watching @jaketapper @donlemon and other's [sic] who are pushing the maga agenda has become unbearable. They NEVER give President Biden credit for his accomplishments and lie about his poll numbers. They have NO shame, NO honor. They are out for ratings and that's it. #BoycottCNN

#BoycottCNN as they are now an extension of Fox News. They are part of the Trump/GOP/PUTIN propaganda machine. A boycott is necessary to stop their fascist tactics. Join in on the boycott to help deny CNN ad revenue.

This is some Obama/Biden Democrat operative:

I decided to #BoycottCNN as soon as the network began its shift to the right. It was a tough decision, since I’ve been a devout @CNN viewer since I was in my 20s.

If I wanted to watch right-wing propaganda, I'd watch Fox. So for now, it’s ONLY @MSNBC for me.

This guy's a paid leftist shill:
