Anderson Cooper Hires New "Super Agent" As CNN Gets Ready to Can Its Expensive Ratings-Poison Anti-Talent
For the first time ever, more people are watching TV via internet streaming than are watching TV through broadcast or cable, combined.
More Americans are watching TV via streaming platforms than both broadcast and cable combined for the first time ever. The finding comes from Nielson's monthly Gauge report, which was launched four years ago to provide insight on what viewers are watching, as well as how they are watching it. The latest report found that streaming accounted for 44.8% of total TV viewership in May--the largest share on record. Meanwhile, broadcast and cable TV only made up 20.1% and 24.1%, respectively, for a total of 44.2%. ... Previously, the Gauge reported another big milestone for streaming platforms. In July 2022, for the first time, streaming topped cable viewership. At the time, it accounted for 34.8% of viewership while cable made up 34.4%. Broadcast made up 21.6%. However today, the combined total for both cable and broadcast viewing still falls behind the percentage of monthly streamers.So everyone knows the cable channels and broadcast networks are dying, and dying quickly. Every year from now forward, they will see big yearly declines in viewership. The broadcast channels will probably survive, diminished but still in business, as they just shift over to streaming. But the cable channels? With everyone cutting the cord, they can no longer depend on all those forced fees from consumers for a hundred channels they never, ever watch. I cut mine when I got sick of paying for ESPN, which I never watch, but takes something like one third of your cable bill payment. And the idea that I was paying for CNN and MSNBC -- and Fox, too -- just cinched it. To hell with these channels. I'm not paying $100 a month just because every once in a while I watch Dual Survivor or Reno 911. You might know that Warner-Discovery is in deep debt it can't get out of -- $40 billion in fact. Warner-Discovery is taking all of the companies that might actually be profitable one day -- its streaming services and its movie studio -- and keeping them. All the basket-case cable channels will be put into a new company called Global Networks. This company will contain the dying CNN and other POS channels, and will also be filled with, get this, most of Warner-Discovery's $40 billion in debt. I guess they'll try to sell this Lehman Bros. tranche of sub-sub-sub-subprime properties to some sucker out there. But who's going to buy expensive, dying cable channels while also assuming the huge amount of debt? It might be one of those free sales -- if you take on the debt, you can have these dying channels for free. But... that's not free. That's taking on billions in debt to own dying channels. Warner-Discovery is in such dire straits that even its CEO is taking a huge paycut. CEOs do not take paycuts. Except if the company is in real trouble, and they have to cut everything, even their own pay.
Physical Media ForeverWith that background, you now appreciate why Vanderbilt-fortune nepo-baby and Deep State catspaw Anderson Cooper, is suddenly seeking new representation. If Zazlav is cutting his own salary from $22 million to $6 million, what are the odds that Anderson Cooper gets to keep his $18 million? Before you answer: The guy they've put in charge of the Basket of Deplorables cable channels is known in the industry as a slash-and-burn hatchet man that you bring in to fire lots of people to keep a company from bankruptcy. Coincidentally enough. You know why I think he's taking a paycut? So he can turn to people like Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper and demand they take a paycut, too.
@VHSDVDBLURAY4K Warner Bros. Discovery is cutting CEO David Zaslav's pay after shareholder backlash -Salary from $22M to $6M
-Stock bonus target will shrink from $23.5M to $7.5M per year
A dark cloud hangs over CNN headquarters as staffers brace for layoffs and a likely sale of the network amid another reshuffling by its parents company. 'I'd say the mood remains really grim,' a CNN employee told Fox News, in the wake of last week's restructuring announcement from Warner Bros. Discovery. 'People are uncertain.' Meanwhile, CNN mainstay Anderson Cooper just signed with a new talent agency for the first time in decades - a move Variety reported was is a surefire sign he is open to new opportunities.LOL. "He's open to new opportunities." Sure. Another guy who's just itching to get into this Podcast Game that everyone's talking about! I can't wait to see the semen-hued Nepo Baby read ads for Squarspace, Fum, and Factor.
... The staffer added: 'I think they've telegraphed clearly that more cuts are coming.' The insider noted that Wiedenfels' 'remit is not to grow stuff.' 'This company is a cash-flow giant with shrinking revenue. Like that's the deal,' the source said. 'It's merely a matter of how fast it shrinks. That's why the assets were split.' Wiedenfels has already managed to reduce WBD's $55billion debt by $21 billion in less than two years. His appointment by WBC CEO David Zaslav comes after several rounds of layoffs at his behest. Less than five months ago, CNN laid off 200 staffers - all from its struggling TV division. WBD has engaged in repeated rounds as well. A staffer told the Daily Mail at the time of the most recent CNN firings that the network had become 'bloated' after Warner Bros.' merger with Discovery in 2021. 'And we don't have streaming yet so - it's hard to imagine it doesn't get worse,' the CNN source further told Fox, referring to an anticipated portion of CNN CEO Mark Thompson's long-in-the works restructuring plan. ... 'Zaslav killed this place. He killed it,' the source said. 'The last few years under Zas has been a disaster in terms of what he has done,' the person added. ... A third staffer who spoke to Fox also appeared to believe a collapse at CNN is imminent. 'I'm trying to figure out what I'll do next when the whole thing collapses, but I don't even know when that will be,' the source said.Cry moar. This Fox News report mentions that the Basket of Deplorable Channels company will be saddled with the bulk of Warner-Discovery's massive debt. It also says:
Industry critics like Puck correspondent Dylan Byers have predicted doom and gloom for the future of CNN, suggesting it will meet the fate of HLN, which he has noted "no longer exists."
I sure hope Andrew Breitbart is looking down and laughing in a not-approved-by-God kind of way. Via WDW_Pro.

The takeaway here is the understanding of how meaningless this job is.
He can take that level of pay cut and stay on because he knows he's still not really accountable for anything. He's just a figurehead to be fired when things get bad enough. The cash is payment for connections and public humiliation.

If you're questioning why China wants to keep the U.S. out of Iran, the answer isn't some idealistic pursuit of global peace or that China is anti-globalist.
China buys 91% of Iran's oil exports. Iran, in turn, supplies 13% of China’s total crude imports. Disruption means China loses a steady, discounted oil supply.
That's it.

First off, both companies -- the streaming/studio side and the "Global Networks" -- will be publicly-traded companies.
Global will own 20% of the new streaming company, so it's not a total separation. I think that 20% is designed to be sold off or monetized to pay off Global's debt.
Global isn't just the dimestore dogshit products like CNN. It also includes Discovery+ and other TV brands. Global will be publicly-traded, so it has to have some value or nobody will buy the stock.
Before the separation, the company will take out another $17.5B in debt. I'm not sure how the company expects to pay that back, given that it's already drowning in debt.

A transgender influencer started pointing fingers at other members of the community regarding the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling Wednesday, which upheld Tennessee’s law banning child sex change procedures. “This non-binary, self-ID nonsense is the legal basis for SCOTUS dismantling transsexual rights today. And the logic makes perfect sense,” Brianna Wu said. “Gender ideology is deadly to actual transsexuals. We have to make it clear we have nothing to do with their bizarre jihad on the concept of gender itself. You’ve tossed sex perverts the keys to the women’s bathroom, laughed off concerns that parents have about their children being sexualized and have turned my medical condition into a joke.”

Possibly the streaming side will make money. But it doesn't appear to be setting the market on fire now.

I sort of assume a lot of them go in being bankrolled. There are a few examples, none of whom ever seemed to make anything of their efforts, so I just figured eventually the money dries up.

Why not a cable package with a single channel of conservative podcasters, a cable channel of leftist podcasters, sports podcasters, etc, etc, and hanging on to the live-streaming items like live sports?
No production costs, on air talent is probably a lot cheaper, distribution model already exists, and you could work in some local stuff based on zip code including local news.

I do admire that Anderson actually went and reported actual journalism in war zones. I think some nepo babies were taught the old school Gilded Age idea of noblesse oblige... with great wealth comes great responsibility. And they also have a drive to prove themselves beyond mummy or daddy's money. I also think Anderson feels tarnished by the crazy Vanderbilt family legacy and wanted to overcome it.
And for better or worse, it gives them eff you money to do what they want. Tucker had family money, so walking away from Fox and starting his own media company was a viable option. It's not so much for others.

"Terry and the Butt Pirates" is about all Hollywood is capable of producing these days. Also Terry is a transweirdo, of course.

It's largely dismissed by the big money because it's tied into crypto.
But, it monetizes viewer interaction and the content, it's becoming a collaboration where the viewer and the creator both become the creators of the content.
Think of it as here, Ace getting paid the more people comment, people paying to have their post promoted, Ace pulling comments into the main posts, that then generates more engagement, more content, more revenue, all which each increase the other, and the platform pushes the post out to more viewers.

Do these results reveal that DU is unsustainable? Where are the young people going instead? Or are they just not into politics that much?
younger people are more on Reddit, in discord groups (I have a very active mom group that discusses politics a lot there), and they listen to a lot of podcasts for political talk.
I read somewhere that the No Kings protesters were disproportionately Boomer. I'm worried about whether some of the younger generations are too addicted to their phones, or perhaps too traumatized, or whatever, to be as politically active as others.
The Boomers were extremely active in their youth, but the threat of the draft was a powerful motivator.

True, but the whole "commercial speech" legal arena is a mess. You can't block commercial ads, but you can regulate them fairly strictly to ensure they're truthful and not misleading. In the case of pharma ads, I think they're almost inherently misleading, in a way that's materially different from a beer commercial where it shows average guys drinking beer with supermodel-quality babes.

'The last few years under Zas has been a disaster in terms of what he has done,' the person added.
Are these the same people who led a revolt against the last guy WBD put in charge of CNN?
That was the guy that fired Stelter, and tried to bring CNN back to the middle, but kept Acosta, Tapper, and Cooper around.
They all cried for months until that guy was forced out, and now they're doing it again with this guy, who gave them Tater back, but had to get rid of the dead weight known as Acosta.
Obviously the inmates are still running the asylum at CNN and it's never going to get any better until they fire these Dem cultists who've ruined every news agency they attach themselves to over the last 25 years.
Fire every producer, reporter, and anchor there now and hire people who can be objective and report the news as fairly & truthfully as possible and then they might have a chance in the future.
Anything short of that just isn't going to get the job done.
But if they do that, their demented audience will leave in droves and they'll be just as screwed as they are now.

Pretty soon, someone will call you anti-Semitic and you'll just roll your eyes and mock them, and much of society will join you in the mockery.

More via Grok:
Disney World’s low June 2025 attendance stands out compared to competitors, likely due to its premium pricing and guest frustration with added costs (e.g., Lightning Lane, up to $25/ride).
Universal Orlando benefits most from Disney’s dip, with Epic Universe pulling crowds. Other Orlando parks (SeaWorld, Busch Gardens) hold steady but don’t see major spikes.
Non-Florida parks (Disneyland, Cedar Point, Six Flags) show typical summer crowds, unaffected by Disney World’s specific challenges.
Heat, school schedules, and economic pressures (inflation, travel costs) impact all parks, but Disney’s higher cost structure amplifies guest pushback.

Yeah well. When their attendance started to wane, they raised prices to make up for the loss. Then they gutted half their park to make new attractions and rides, which won't be finished for five years or more, JUST as Universal released the hottest and most exciting park concept in decades.
Disney used to lead the world in this kind of thing, now they are hidebound and fossilized, unable to lead, innovate, or create. The last new thing they put out was broken for months and got terrible reviews. Before that it was their hilariously disastrous multi-billion dollar Star Wars hotel.

Via Grok:
Yes, attending timeshare presentations to get free or discounted Disney World tickets is still a thing in 2025, though it’s less common and comes with caveats. Companies like Westgate Resorts, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, and Marriott Vacation Club offer promotions where you attend a 90-120 minute sales pitch in exchange for incentives, which can include Disney World tickets, Universal Orlando tickets, or gift cards (e.g., $200 Visa card) usable for park tickets. For example, a recent TikTok post highlighted a timeshare tour offering free Disney tickets, and websites like timeshareorlando.com promote packages with ticket-related perks.
However, there are key considerations:

Or you could take the Gen-X route and say "Yeah, our generation sucks! We're the worst! Wooo!" and everyone else will be like "hey wow that guy is pretty cool".
Otherwise, you're pretty much boned.

Yeah well. When their attendance started to wane, they raised prices to make up for the loss. Then they gutted half their park to make new attractions and rides, which won't be finished for five years or more, JUST as Universal released the hottest and most exciting park concept in decades.
Disney used to lead the world in this kind of thing, now they are hidebound and fossilized, unable to lead, innovate, or create. The last new thing they put out was broken for months and got terrible reviews. Before that it was their hilariously disastrous multi-billion dollar Star Wars hotel.

More mental labor that we're not compensated for.

Even more reason to like her. Instead of running off to HR or a microphone ,she deals with problems. Probably why her career was never as huge as it could have been.

Yeah but that's not encouraging them to commit adultery and abandon their man because they can Do Better.

She's a little long in the tooth now. She should go back to economics.

I have 37 years of dumb things when I was single to remember as well as having Her Majesty to remind me of the dumb things from the other 31 years.

Whoa, really? How did that happen?
I really have no idea, but while it’s somewhat difficult to amass a fortune, it’s very easy to spend it. Sic transit Gloria (Vanderbilt) mundi.

I actually don't think Gloria Vanderbilt's connections had much to do with Cooper's career. She was a figure in the world of art and design, not media.
==
Cooper's a disappointment because he entered journalism (in his case starting as a freelancer in 3d world locales) at a time when the media was biased but not an extension of the Democratic Party / sorosphere noise machine. He didn't have the integrity to tell Jeff Zucker to get stuffed.

He's paid to lie constantly and not undercut the narrative in any way shape or form.

It's honestly been astounding to see what Amazon lets Piker get away with. He livestreamed himself blocking traffic in LA recently and nothing happened. (Sadly nobody ran him over either).

You want the hate scoop on the Piker, Nuxanor has the daily Piker terror supporter watch for you all packaged up by a blue cartoon Jew. Worth watching.

I read a fascinating article at CNBC (I think it was), which examined the financial situation of all the third generation Vanderbilt heirs.
Bottom line: the third generation has toppled into the middle income group. They and their parents didn't preserve their wealth for the next generation.
I believe, based on my own casual reading, that this is generally true for third generation heirs. One Trusts and Estates attorney famously said, "The first generation accumulates; the second spends; the third destroys."
