Know, actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing. many cnn staffers found that to be offensive. jeff zucker found that to be quite disturbing because he s looking at that thinking, what is discovery s key shareholder going to do to cnn? but here is the thing, right, ken, malone is not going to have as much power as he used to have. in this new discovery deal, in this merged company, he will just have 1% of the shares, 1% of the vote, he will just be one member of the board along with 12 or 13 or 14 others. so should cnn anchors and reporters be concerned about john malone s views of cnn? well, of course. i mean, i think what malone just said, the clip you played, was comical, it s a joke, it s not real and he s wrong. if you listened to what zsalov told me in that public forum in november he disagrees with malone. malone is his business mentor ....
Wondering what happens now. we know that kylar has appointed three steady reliable hands, three long time members of zucker s leadership team to run cnn until discovery takes over. michael bass, amy and ken. they know what to do and they re doing it every day. keeping cnn humming along. when this deal closes, probably april or may, discovery will name a new boss, a new head of cnn. i m told by sources that discovery views this as a fresh start for cnn. and maybe in a year people will look back and say this was a good thing for cnn, new leadership, but it s not what the staffers here wanted and certainly not like this. now, that s my report from the inside and, let s face it, i work here. so i decided to bring in three outsiders, three media reporters and analysts who are looking at this from outside cnn so they can bring their perspectives and you can hear independent views of this situation. let s bring them in now. claire atkinson for insider, ....
Reporting comes out why and what other elements there were. my point here is regardless even if they did want him out, he and frankly by hiding that relationship handed them ammunition that was simply not necessary. joanne and mara thank you. claire, stick around. at&t ceo john stankey is about to spin off warner media. he says he thinks the best days of cnn are still in front of it. so what is ahead for this news outlet? this week the discovery ceo who will be taking over the company praised cnn s abilities and leadership in global news gathering. he said he is good friends with zucker but had nothing to do with him leaving. the question is now about whether the vision for cnn may also be influenced by key shareholder john malone who has been critical of cnn including as recently as last november. let s talk about that with ken avletta. he has been a writer for the ....
Cnn aired more than 135 reporter hits. 135 reporters in the u.s. and around the world. i m talking about dozens of live shots from international correspondence in just one day. on the day jeff zucker resigned, cnn published more than 215 stories on the website, nearly 900 original videos. that s a hell of a lot of news. it s a hell of a lot of journalism. do some of the anchors say provocative things? yes. do some of those clips get played over and over again on other channels and mislead people about what cnn actually is? yes. cnn is the reporters and the producers and the production assistants and the writers and the editors and the technical directors. cnn is the executives and it s the interns and everybody in between who keeps this place running 24/7, so when something horrible happens in the world, or when something wonderful happens in the world, you know where to turn. that s what cnn is. ....
