The (destruction of) CNN thread

Don't know where to jump into the conversation exactly about the Bolsheviks and Nazis; but the people who work at CNN are Bolsheviks. I just wrote about this over in the Lenin had syphilis thread. Every reporter and employee at CNN is a Marxist theorist and a modern day Bolshevik. They need to be called out and marked for who they are. Bolsheviks. To put a photo of a guy in a German uniform with a CNN armband is not politically accurate. The last thing Bolsheviks are, are nationalists. They are internationalists who want world government, no borders, no families, the destruction of Christianity, rampant faggotry, and a giant utopian hippyfest. Aside from slaughtering and imprisoning their enemies, Nazis and the Bolsheviks have nothing in common. They are about as opposite from one another as they can be in terms of how they see the world.

A photo of Lenin in one of his famous photos yelling at a crowd from a pulpit with an armband or a block over his head would be more accurate.

CNN may be too big to fail. As in, I don't think it would ever go "bankrupt" per-se in the traditional sense. New York Times is on the much more shaky ground and still, puts up the front and veneer of profitability even though it bleeds away money each year. NYT still chugs along even as it wheezes along on its final breaths.

What Time Warner has consistently done is a spin-off or sell poor and declining assets (think AOL, they were still able to find a sucker to buy that trash Corp). What we can hope to accomplish is that CNN gets battered so hard that by its next Quarter big changes happen in its leadership with Execs being thrown overboard (this will likely result in power vacuum and send CNN into disarray, unless, (((they))) just put in another one of their homie and things continue along as programmed). Then the eventual financial bleeding if CNN becomes toxic that Advertisers run away to more green pastures. Then, eventually, the restructuring will come with employees being laid off en masse and the company being shaped and modelled for eventual sale to some dumb investor like a Jeff Bezos.

These Cable Corps are sticky as they have muscled their way into basic tiered packages that are forced onto consumers to subscribe. This forced audience results in a constant stream of revenues into the bank account of these Cable Corps. Though, once the subscriptions start to decline, it is a fast, and swift, fall into the abyss. As we see with ESPN, once the subscriptions start to fall, it is hard to stop the bleeding as you can no longer go to Advertisers and shake them down.

Though, I hope I am wrong on the CNN assessment, would be great to see a headline in big bold letters that they are ceasing operations.

I still hold my bet that a major MSM media outlet will go belly up. I still expect that it will likely be a Print news outlet like a TIME Magazine or NYT before a Cable News outlet, but I may be wrong on this. Though, I still stand by the bet, that one major outlet will die out very soon.

Cable news (and cable programming) is in long-term secular decline to subscribers trimming down packages, or cutting the cord altogether:

https://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Kagan-Predicts-108-Million-Fewer-Cable-TV-Viewers-By-2021-139850

TV cord cutting is already occurring at the fastest rate on record, and Wall Street research firm Kagan predicts that the the cable industry will lose another 10.8 million more subscribers by 2021. That will still leave the traditional cable industry with 82.3 million subscribers, but that would be a massive 20% reduction from the industry's peak. In contrast, the firm predicts that streaming options like Sling TV and Playstation Vue will quickly begin to go "mainstream," and have 11 million users collectively by 2021.

"Changing viewing habits point to mounting losses for traditional video services, and challengers are lining up to capitalize," the firm notes. "However, the operators are not without significant fortifications enabling expectations for preserving a majority share in the five-year outlook."
One of those "fortifications" against the rising cord cutting tide would be to actually seriously compete on price, something major cable operators love to pay lip service to, but still have struggled to adopt. Charter, for example, has been raising cable TV rates upwards of 40% in the wake of its acquisition of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. As a result, Charter lost another 100,000 traditional pay TV customers last quarter.

Analysts estimate that the pay TV sector lost a record 762,000 pay-TV subscribers last quarter -- roughly five times more than the total number of lost subscribers during the same quarter the year before. Dish Network lost 143,000 subscribers, even when the company's Sling TV additions were figured in. AT&T lost 266,000 subscribers during the same period, again not offset by additions to its DirecTV Now streaming service.

Analysts predict cord cutting will set another record this quarter, with most predicting subscriber losses of more than 1 million.

I'm frankly not particularly concerned with them doxxing increasingly large numbers of people.

Honestly, they've done it once and already generated incredible amounts of outrage. If they're dumb enough to make it a mainstay then things are going to get really wild.

And in the end how many names and addresses can they put out there before people utterly stop giving a shit? 10? 100? 1000? Sure, it'd suck to be those people but that's still an incredibly small number. Worse yet for CNN, when people start to realise that they can no longer hide behind anonymity then that's when the rubber really hits the road.

Case in point, if you had to sign everything you wrote on the internet with your name and address then the West would never have become this fucked up in the first place. The comfort of anonymously shitposting while accomplishing little to nothing in the real world is what's allowed the left to flourish and take over our societies. It gave us an easy valve to vent our frustrations while every institution in our civilisation was gutted and infested with left wing vermin.

Dox everyone and you merely force everyone to enter the meat-space and play for keeps. It would be the dumbest thing CNN could possibly do, which is incidentally why I'm not ruling it out.

You're not going to occupy CNN anonymously. And plenty of people are putting their jobs and anonymity on the line every time they put on a Trump hat or march in a PEGIDA rally. I'm hesitant to say that being doxxed is now a form of martyrdom but it's close. What we might really set our sights on is setting up crowdfunding to make sure that nobody attacked in this manner has to suffer serious adverse financial effects from it.

It would be a partial step towards something like a witness protection program which would embolden everyone else to step up their game and give zero fucks about whatever consequences the left tried to aim at them.

One thing that was touched on that I've always noticed about avowed Socialists is their wallflower nerdiness. I think a better meme than the Gestapo/KGB overlay would be shooping their heads onto nerds getting swirlies and such.

If AB is right about these people never really developing past high school, and I think he is, then memes of that nature should be especially triggering. I think Gavin McInnes once remarked that the social dynamic at media companies is like high school without the jocks.
