CNN to Lay Off "Hundreds of Employees" After Trump's Inauguration
Plus: Bureaucrats Insurrect Against Trump's Order to Fire DEI Employees

Winning.

Warner Bros. Discovery's CNN plans to lay off hundreds of employees Thursday as it refocuses the business around a global digital audience, according to people familiar with the matter.

The layoffs come as CNN is rearranging its linear TV lineup and building out digital subscription products. The cuts will help CNN lower production costs and consolidate teams, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic changes.

Certain shows that are produced in New York or Washington may move to Atlanta, where production can be done more cheaply, said the people.

For the most part, the job cuts won't affect CNN's most recognizable names, who are under contract, said the people. CNN has about 3,500 employees worldwide.

Oh good! The untalented "talent" that caused the ratings collapse get to keep their phoney-baloney jobs and $7-20 million salaries, while the cogs and plebs making $75,000 get fired.

...

In October, CNN launched a digital paywall, charging heavier users of the site $3.99 per month.

LOL. CNN has nothing but "heavier users." But not many of them.

NBC News is also planning cuts later this week, according to people familiar with the matter. While the exact number couldn't be determined, the job losses will be well under 50, two of the people said.

Spokespeople for NBC News and CNN declined to comment.

Meanwhile, a fake reporter at the NYT who just writes "Trump is Hitler" over and over is... resigning from "reporting," because Trump broke his neurotic brain:

Meanwhile: The firings of DEI bureaucrats will continue until the rest of our morale improves.

All DEI offices were shut down at 5pm, per Trump's executive order.

But not quite. The "leadership" of the Defense "Intelligence" Agency says it will blow off Trump's order to fire all DEI hires, because, they say, they don't have any purely DEI hires. Just mixed DEI hires.

And the ATF is changing the titles of their DEI officers so that they can say "We have no DEI officers."

At least the Secret Service obeyed an order:
