Hello John,

After four years of CNN incessantly ([link removed]) trying to drive President Trump from office, his absence may end up being the final nail in the network’s coffin.

Word on the street suggests ([link removed]) that CNN may be up for sale, as its parent company AT&T seeks to pay down its own massive debt. CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta is already slated ([link removed]) to be sold. The question is: who’s really in the market for a “one-time news station” that may not have Trump to kick around anymore?

[link removed] the various impediments to a successful sale, Free Enterprise Project ([link removed]) Deputy Director Scott Shepard ([link removed]) suggests in his weekly Townhall commentary ([link removed]) that there are “likely to be few serious offers for CNN”:

Once upon a time, everyone turned on CNN when big news broke. But those days are long past.

Scott contends that things are different nowadays:

No sensible person would contest that CNN has become a simple adjunct of pretty hard leftism. Even AT&T head brass John Stankey and Randall Stevenson, themselves both piously and performatively woke, have grown concerned about the effect CNN’s descent into parody is having on AT&T’s wider reputation, and so are looking to dump the network not just to pay down the company’s significant debt, but to protect AT&T from its noxiousness.

This tarnish to CNN’s brand, and the overall leftist tilt of the establishment media, paints a grim prospect for anything but a fire-sale price for the talents of Chris Cuomo, Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon:

After four years of spitting, spiteful, vitriolic partisanship, CNN can hardly hope ever to regain its reputation as “sort-of-neutral arbiter of straight news,” even if it tried… None but left-wing partisans will voluntarily watch CNN for anything, regardless of what’s going on in the world.

There is the suggestion that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos may be interested ([link removed]) in buying CNN. After all, he bought the Washington Post and “dropped any but the most tissue-thin rhetorical pretense of objectivity” there.

But don’t rule out the possibility that President Trump may be interested in buying ([link removed]) CNN. Wouldn’t that be a shock to the system?
