Needle dick96 has a point , if no one wants to watch CNN for Free then why the fuck did they think people were gonna pay to watch cnn 😂 

 

No, he doesn't.

Fox Nation has 1.5 million paying subscribers.

The only cable show on CNN or MSNBC that can compete with that in viewership is Rick Maddow's show.

Chris Wallace Now Regretting Getting CNN+ Tramp Stamp
April 22nd, 2022 - BabylonBee.com

article-10984-1.jpg

 

U.S.—Chris Wallace’s name started trending along with search terms "unemployed" and "learn to code" when CNN+ shut down this week, but Wallace has voiced a more troubling concern than potential joblessness: his recently-acquired CNN+ tattoo on his lower back.

“I went all-in on CNN after ditching Fox, but now I’m starting to have second thoughts,” Wallace said in an interview with a smirking Peter Doocy, wincing as he touched the still-tender skin just above his buttocks. “I was sure CNN+ was going to be a hit and that I would soar to new heights of relevance! How could this happen?”

Sources confirmed that Wallace is looking into tattoo removal services, but has been told a full removal will be difficult as he got the tattoo in solid black ink. He has also asked for his old job back at Fox but was turned down as Fox has a strict policy against anchors having CNN+ lower-back tattoos. The out-of-work newsman is now hoping for a future career on Dancing With The Stars or The Masked Singer. 

At publishing time, Congressman Kevin McCarthy was a few offices over, reportedly looking into tattoo removal services for his “Trump Stamp.”

The Babylon Bee Stands In Solidarity With Its Fellow Canceled Satire Outlet CNN+
April 22nd, 2022 - BabylonBee.com

article-10982-1.jpg

 

After investing hundreds of millions of dollars CNN finally unveiled its new satire site CNN+. Unfortunately, only 3 weeks later CNN+ has been canceled—prematurely ending what was certain to be one of the funniest sites ever made. This sort of cancel culture censorship has been targeting comedians for too long, and it must stop.

This is why The Babylon Bee has decided to formally take a stand beside our fellow satire site, CNN+. We too know exactly what it feels like to be suddenly canceled for the simple crime of bringing laughter to the world. When we heard CNN+ wasn’t being canceled for another sex scandal we were shocked, but once we heard that comedy was blatantly being censored again we were outraged.

“Satire writers have to stick together,” said The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. “That’s why we are calling for CNN+ to be reinstated immediately. We hereby announce that CNN+ has our full support and we are willing to do whatever is necessary to restore their comedy streaming service. It just goes to show—no matter how wacky and unbelievable your fake news articles are, there are always people who want to shut that down.”

Sources claim that only 10,000 people were willing to watch CNN+, but we believe those 10,000 deserve to be able to continue to laugh at CNN’s delightful brand of comedy. 

So we invite you to stand with us and refuse to let comedy be silenced. If you ever want to see hilarious skits or articles about how good of a job Biden is doing, or how competent and relatable Kamala is—then subscribe to The Babylon Bee and help us fight for CNN+ today!

‘Yes Sir’: Sean Hannity Took Direct Orders From Mark Meadows on Election Coverage

We all knew Sean Hannity was doing the bidding of the Trump administration. We found out Monday he was doing it literally.

CNN on Monday published a slew of text messages between Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and prominent Republican lawmakers and conservative figures — including Hannity. The Jan. 6 committee has already released several texts exchanged between Meadows and Hannity, but the ones released Monday are particularly striking, demonstrating just how firmly the White House had Hannity secured under its thumb.

 

 

“Hey. NC gonna be ok?” Hannity wrote Meadows last Nov. 3, asking whether Meadows’ home state of North Carolina was going to go to Trump.

“Stress every vote matters,” Meadows replied. “Get out and vote. On radio.”

“Yes sir,” Hannity wrote. “On it. Any place in particular we need a push”

Meadows pointed to Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada, in addition to North Carolina. “Got it,” Hannity responded. “Everywhere.”

This trove of text messages, which also includes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) pushing for Trump to institute martial law and noting that Trump supporters had “no other choice” but to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, is only the latest in a series of revelations to come out of the thousands of messages Meadows provided to the Jan. 6 committee. It’s been reported in recent weeks that Meadows received texts from GOP lawmakers, Donald Trump Jr., and Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, urging him to help overturn the election.

Hannity was one of several Fox News hosts who wrote to Meadows on Jan. 6 urging him to get Trump to call off his supporters. He also texted Meadows on Jan. 19, sharing a link to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) saying in a speech on the Senate floor that the deadly riot was “provoked by the President and other powerful people.”

“Well this is as bad as this can get,” Hannity wrote.

Twitter user @acyn responded to CNN’s report by pointing out that Hannity has in the past claimed he is “not told what to say” and that “we have always been independent and follow our on path on this show.”

We now have pretty hard evidence that Hannity’s highly rated show was basically state-run television while the former president was in office.
