Wait a second, didn't CNN launch a streaming service to great fanfare, then kill it deader than Dillinger before it launched, laying off hundreds when it did. Now they're laying off hundreds to launch it again? I'm not sure CNN is on the level, folks.

Nice. Was looking for something new to subscribe to! Idiots blathering on for 24h about things I could read about and be more informed within 10minutes is a perfect thing for me to throw money I don't really have at.
And all it cost to make was 200 people's livelihoods! A real bargain!

CNN++?
CNN Double Plus Good.
I prefer Rust.
Who would subscribe to this? If it's just CNN all the time, that sounds like a damn nightmare.
How else am I gonna torture the people chained up in my basement when I have to work?
'It didn't work the first time we tried to launch a streaming service. But THIS time..."
They don't really have a choice. TV viewership has been on decline.

Time spent watching television: digital video vs. traditional TV
From 2021 to 2025, daily time spent watching traditional television is projected to plummet by 28 minutes. In contrast, Americans are spending increasingly more time consuming digital videos. In 2021, they spent an average of three hours a day enjoying digital videos. By 2025, this is set to grow to four hours, marking an overall rise of 33.3%.
Let them die.
