Hundreds of reporters and staff losing jobs at world’s biggest propaganda network: CNN

It was the first 24-7 live all-news network: the Cable News Network, which was aptly named. But long gone are the “glory days” of the first Gulf War, when CNN’s wall-to-wall coverage of the “video game war” was on for hours and hours in millions of homes all around the globe. Now, scores of network employees — reporters, production personnel and even some on camera — face extinction, as the network has steadily lost viewership and revenue for years. Variety, which covers the entertainment and news industries, reported a recent scene, in which one of CNN’s online reporters described her last day on the job:Former CNN Capitol Hill reporter Lisa Dejardins posted a video of her final sign off from CNN on Thursday as she prepared to leave the building after being laid off.
Dejardins, a reporter for CNN.com who was not an on-air personality, compares the mass goodbye emails from laid off CNN employees to the personal ones, finding a wide discrepancy in the general tone and niceness between the two, and expresses her disappointment [in] CNN’s decision to get rid of a congressional reporter given the bipartisan struggle in the Capitol.
