It might surprise you to learn that despite plunging ratings and an increased indifference from the public, CNN is still highly profitable – taking in nearly $1 billion in profits last year. But that’s not enough, as the network was projected to clear $1.1 billion in profits, so new management has been brought in to right the ship. Will it work? Will viewers – and the advertising dollars that come with them – return to CNN any time soon?
Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether CNN should have known everything would go south for the cable network when they got rid of Chris Cuomo.

Jimmy always gets the result right (which I give him credit for) but the cause wrong. He does this without fail. Watching him is always deflection 101. If cable shows were not bundled there would be a shit load of instant failures. In a capitalist system, (which we haven't had a true form of in our lifetimes) you give me a shit product and I don't buy from you. Sounds like its working even though its not true capitalism. Now eliminate bundling of shows on cable and places like CNN wouldn't be around long at all. Think about it. When you purchase a bundle that has these networks and shows you'll never watch and don't want. You are still giving them money because of bundling.
CIA News Network =/= free market capitalism
CIA News Network = government-controlled "news"
Correction Jimmy, that's not how CAPITALISM works, it's how greed works. And before all you shittard Jimmy fan boys chime in with stupid assed comments, "capitalism" is an economic model not a person. Only people can be greedy.
"Previous experience, uh, HBO."
"Home Box Office? Wow!"
"No, Home Builders Org."
That's not great.
CNN has a streaming service 🤷♂️…learn something new everyday
It;s called ads revenue.
No Jimmy, wrong again. All subscriptions pay network fees wether they're watched or not.
the shareholders are capitalists… 🥵 whether real or perceived – capital has convinced us the we all own the system.
just make money.
Here's the issue: the numbers are fudged. Post-2016 election, we discovered there was some sort of backdoor agreement CNN execs made with U.S. airports (and certain areas, overseas) to broadcast CNN— without our consent . This is most likely where the advertising revenue is generated. If CNN was removed from: airports, bars, restaurants, and cafes (again: one network….monopolizing public areas, with one view) they'd crumble, instantly.
So these CNN 🔧s make enough money to stop the homeless pandemic. Can't make this shyt up! A rotten pos show makes that much in profit. This is criminal! Ridiculous!!!
How the hell is CNN gonna make a billion? They have a direct pipeline to the CIAs checking account.
Brought to you by Pfizer…?!
So Trump was right?! Maybe that’s why they are paying for these Republican candidates so CNN has something to scare people with?! Brian denied that Trump saved their network…It seems Trump saved their network for the past five years or so, hmm 🤔
Maybe the guy who won your mega lottery could buy CNN
yeah the gay version off cnn was a loss thanks to brian !
I think that President Biden should have a cooking show
"His girlfriend cut off her toe!"
"We were going to get a million dollars!"
"It's not fair!"
– The Nihilists –
'The Big Lebowski'
every dollar of that profit is blood money for pushing the stab like good little vampires
People aren't as stupid as CNN think they are, they know they're being lied to repeatedly and spoon fed Democrat party propoganda, if you want news CNN would be the last place on earth where you would find it.
"You wouldn't see $956 million in profit as a failure.. But that's how capitalism work"
Is Jimmy a communist? If not, why does he sound like one?
Using propaganda on the American people used to be illegal, until Obama legalized it (Defense Act of 2012 I believe). It's just so funny to me that anyone would have thought it would end up any other way.
i guess even idiocy has its limits and there is a limit to how much lies people can digest as truth ,even for radical leftists and thank god for that!!
Remember Stelter claimed that profit wasn't the motivation at CNN 🤣
So people went from hating you for bashing Rand Paul Gutting healthcare for vets, but loves bashing the left? Bunch of idiots here
Propped up by the cia and fbi.. They own cnn. Dems. They don't have to make a real profit.
the saddest one is the children's cooking contests, l can't even stand watching the adds, putting children under pressure and watching some of them end up with emotional scarring "after accidentally dropping their dish on the floor while removing it from the oven".
Freakin Awesome. Go Woke GO Broke. Cant happen soon enough.
CNN Puzzle: Stop lying
Puzzle solved
And TYT viewership is down like 80%
They’re built into the cable package that everyone gets, so CNN always gets a piece of the pie. It really doesn’t matter if people watch it or not. Now they still have to sell ads, but the bulk of their income is already built in.
CNN wish Trump is back just so they could make the same money they were making with their fake-News smears
They won’t lose that much when the Democratic establishment will send 60 billion to Ukraine but they put CNNs account as the deposit location on the cheque.
Jimmy's blaming capitalism? What is he a commie? Smh
if cuomo changed his name to fredo , they may have got some ratings
Dish network and direct tv comcast they have to pay them
Tuggin on Tubin
Yep, they are being propped up by govt and advertising. This cant be based on viewership. They are only crony capitalists.
