Even Folks at CNN Knew CNN+ Was Doomed

Except Brian Stetler, he isn't convinced it was a failure. CNN+ collapse: Insiders, critics doubted service all along as Brian Stelter ponders if it was a ‘success’

"I defy you to find any reasonable person who ever believed that viewers would pay extra money for the dregs of CNN when it was competing for their wallets with Netflix and Disney Plus," a former CNN producer told Fox News Digital. "Do you want to watch ‘The Mandalorian’ or extra Brian Stelter?"

There is more, but Stetler's "I don't know if it was a failure" stance is classic denial.

There is more in other places...

“Who knew that America wasn’t clamoring for more Rex Chapman and more woke analytics from Jemele Hill? And that there wasn’t a great demand for more Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper or Brian Stelter? That Americans weren’t saying, ‘Hey, CNN we’ve chosen not to watch your programing when it’s free, maybe what [you] need to do is charge people directly,'” Clay Travis said mockingly on “Outkick the Show.”

Schadenfreude is a dish best served with a side of popcorn.
