New York (CNN Business)CNN+, the streaming service that was hyped as one of the most significant developments in the history of CNN, will shut down on April 30, just one month after it launched.

lulz

The decision was made by new management after CNN's former parent company, WarnerMedia, merged with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery.

David Zaslav, the chief executive of Warner Bros. Discovery, has said that he wants to house all of the company's brands under one streaming service. Some CNN+ programming may eventually live on through that service.

shyeah sure

pig-faced Kate Bolduan bitching at you

The journalists that I have been privileged to work with on CNN plus are world class. I am so incredibly proud to call them colleagues.

If your organization would like a chance to benefit from their talents, my DMs are open.

52 This is so freaking hilarious - and I see one immediate lesson we can take from it. For everyone who is saying "how can the Democrats follow such a disastrous political plan? Why do they seem confident, don't they see what's about to happen to them?" I present - a pack of very wealthy and supposedly intelligent corporate titans got together and agreed "oh this is sure fire! Let's put $300 million in it just to start out! Can't possibly fail!!!"

As far as we could see, they had total confidence - and yet they would have been better off to take all of that $300 million, throw it in a few dumpsters, and set it on fire. They just lost all of it. In 6 weeks.

Sure, like the back catalogue of special reports and maybe some new special reports. Maybe - depending on the contract language - they'll move Chris Wallace into some dark corner for a while. Five hours of Tater per day will almost certainly not be moving.

105 11 The decision was made by new management after CNN's former parent company, WarnerMedia, merged with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery and said "are you guys kidding me with this s***?".

Posted by: Keanu Reeves at April 21, 2022 12:05 PM (ZsR3z)

It's fascinating to look at what we can see of the internal politics of how this went down. WarnerMedia said they didn't want to interfere with CNN during the merger because it might cause regulatory problems. CNN knew this, and apparently was worried that Warner wouldn't approve, so they rushed the rollout so that it would be a done deal when the merger went through. They thought Warner would have to accept what they had launched as a fait accompli.

Warner just laughed and shut it all down as fast as they could.

So Warner Brothers still has Loony Tune IP. Just do a straight news show but with Bugs and Daffy and tweety and the rest as the personality. All their onscreen "talent" now is worthless anyway, chuck them out with trebuchets. None of the ute these days even know the loony crew and it would all be fresh. They would need to have a break from their failed woke brand to ever recapture the market and this could do it. Then turn the CNN building back into a theme park like it was in the Croft days. Hell, buy that trippy stuff too, and have a psychedelic news channel for all the nation's new pot customers.

280 If CNN has about 600K "free" viewers, why would anyone expect CNN+ to draw more then a fraction of that as paid viewers?
Posted by: 18-1 at April 21, 2022 12:23 PM (ESjRY)


They made the move because they blamed the loss of viewers on people moving to streaming, not their shitty content.

540 OH my. Some Calif counties are suing Oil Companies in State Court, for Climate Change.

So, will Climate Change have to be proven in a Court of Law? or will they just 'deem' it exists.

Could be interesting. 9th Circuit just said case should go forward in State Court, as they see no Federal Laws have applicable.

The SIG 6.8x51 FURY Hybrid Ammunition uses a patented lightweight metallic case designed to handle pressures higher than conventional ammunition, resulting in dramatically increased velocity and on-target energy in lighter weapons.

The SIG-LMG lightweight belt-fed machine gun and SIG MCX-SPEAR Rifle are purpose-built to harness the energy of the SIG FURY 6.8 Common Cartridge Ammunition enabling greater range and increased lethality while reducing the soldier’s load on the battlefield. Both the SIG-LMG and MCX-SPEAR deliver significant weapon and technology advancements to the soldier and provide a solution for battlefield overmatch."

I watched the part of the cartoon that Disney was concerned had Tinkerbell sending a bad message to kids.

LOL, you have to laugh. These are the same lunatics who are outraged that public school teachers in Florida now can't brainwash kindergarteners into believing that they were born in the "wrong" bodies, need to chop off body parts, get their faces and bodies surgically mutilated, and take synthetic hormones for the rest of their lives, in order to be happy with their bodies.

699 601 Just saw at Insty, Disney's going scorched earth on their own IP.

Tinker Bell is cancelled for being thin and heterosexual.

Captain Hook is cancelled because the disabled can't be bad guys.

Ursula from The Little Mermaid is cancelled because she's a bad guy and purple, so basically a black woman.

I am not making any of this up.

754 Right now, our military is in flux as to future missions as desert operations that required distance are winding down. The current 5.56 is adequate for urban combat at short distances but not so hot at distance. When you combine the move to long heavy bullets in the 5.56 and short barrels, essentially you have moved beyond Stoner's design parameters that emphasized 20 inch barrels, light and fast bullets, and a slower twist rate.

The current M4 is a kludge developed by Colt to give the military a short and light carbine for getting in and out of vehicles among other things. Plus, the M4 package was proprietary and owned by Colt compared with the older AR15 spec. To function, the M4 gas system is shortened, the ammo with heavier bullets generates more pressure, and the hardware is not taking it well with bolts and other pressure related parts taking a beating. That is without the addition of widespread use of suppressors introducing new problems.

780 Okay, so the military has decided that newer Russian and Chinese body armor requires an upgraded cartridge (that was the rationale for the change from 55gr to the 62gr with a light armor penetrating tip in the 80's).

Combine that with the desire for increased penetration for cover and the requirement of greater distances for lethal shots, you have to get more pressure firing a bigger cartridge with a heavier bullet which generates more recoil. One of the issues little remarked about in WWII, is that the GI's originally had the choice of 150 gr FMJ or the 168 gr AP. Toward the end of the war, the GI's ended up shooting much more 168 gr AP subject to availability than 150 FMJ. It was because it penetrated trees, building walls, etc. far better than the 150 FMJ did. Also did slightly better at distance. The cost was accelerated wear of the barrels but to a GI that was the last thing they were concerned about.

Ironically, post war, the Brits invented a new 6.8 round which actually went back to WWI era research with a 7mm cartridge to replace the .303. The US quashed both that cartridge and the rifle that fired it due to NATO adopting the 7.62x51.

781 765 I finally got a response from ISC2 today.

Unsurprisingly they gave me some canned bullshit about how DEI is important to core values of young professionals, blah blah.

That is so bizarre, but kudos to you for refusing to participate. You might reply to ISC2 that what they are pushing is in violation of Title VII.

I think this is good news, Dave in Fla, so yay! I (blessedly?) don't know those acronyms.

783 IOW, M1 Garand. The finest battle implement ever designed.

Posted by: rickb223
--------------------------
I like the Garand just fine for its era. Unfortunately, John Garand was operating off the parameters set by the US Army in the 20's that dictated no discrete removable magazine, use of ammo clips, and later MacArthur dictated that the 30-06 would be retained despite evidence that the 276 Pederson was by and large a good tradeoff of lethality and distance. That required Garand to redesign and bulk up his original design to fit the larger cartridge. Essentially, it was the same as the British giving up their new 7 mm cartridge prior to WWI due to the cost and disorder of changing all their ammo when war might occur on short order. They decided the 303 was good enough and their experiences in WWI apparently confirmed it.

784 Now the AK-47? Light, unbreakable, drag it in the mud - weapon of choice for those light on budget but high on expectations.

Posted by: Boswell
------------------------------------
Hate to tell you this Boswell but the AK in the US is now more expensive than an AR and due to kludged mfg blocking importation of some key AK parts and whole rifles, you get less than optimum reliability. PSA makes their own in the US instead of using imported parts (IO did (does?) the same with dismal results) but even there, the prices are higher than an AR. The coming shortage of cheap 7.62x39 steel cased blaster ammo due to sanctions is also tilting the balance away from the AK.

Advantage now is the AR on price, equal if not better reliability, better use with optics, better ergonomics, and cheaper ammo.

785 Boy, they're really "deaths by a thousand cuts"ing poor Tater, aren't they? I suppose his inevitable firing will materialize in the next few weeks, but I'm starting to think someone in power there enjoys watching him twist in the wind. Why not resign with some dignity? Oh, yeah, Tater.
