That&#8217;s it,\u201d executive vice president Allison Gollust told Fox News on May 7. \u201c?We have nearly 4,000 people at CNN\u2026 and around 100 of them exercised the option for a program that was offered.

CNN will now say that any health matter is due to Man Caused Climate Change and Global Warming!! Yep, so much for that last glimmer of factual information regarding health and medicine being delivered to people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The more than 100 CNN employees who decided to accept a voluntary buyout option included CNN International executive vice president Tony Maddox, who left the ratings-challenged network after 21 years. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>In other words, he is looking to spend more time with his family and is seeking new horizons. Yep, they canned his ass. CNN has been circling the drain for the better part of a decade. They own the televisions in places like Airports, but unless there is an actual real story, such as a natural disaster or plane crash, no one is watching them anymore.<\/p>\n<p>They have managed to destroy their credibility over the last few years and now it\u2019s really beginning to hit their financial\u2019s. Recently, AT&amp;T acquired the holding company that owned CNN, and AT&amp;T is having some serious issues of their own. It may be that AT&amp;T is thinking about either spinning off CNN or just flat out unloading it. If there are more layoffs and consolidations, I think it will show that AT&amp;T is looking to ditch CNN.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-28742\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"d4e0115608\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28742_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28742, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28742_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28742, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28742_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28742, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28742_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28742, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28742_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28742, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>1<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_28742_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-28742-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
