Barry Diller Wants To Buy CNN “Before They Ruin It Any Further”: “Hopefully Before It’s Extinct”
- Barry Diller is ready to buy CNN.
- He thinks the network is heading for extinction.
- Media moves are happening everywhere.
We just saw some pretty wild news from the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival. Barry Diller isn’t holding back. He thinks CNN is in trouble. Big trouble.
Diller said he would buy the news network tonight. Or even tomorrow night. He wants to save it before it is too late. To him, the clock is ticking.
The whole vibe of cable news feels a bit gray right now. It lacks that bright, sharp aesthetic we used to love. We imagine the classic red CNN logo losing its shine like an old, dusty painting. It needs a fresh coat of paint.
Things are shifting all over the media world. Even big names are feeling the heat. For example, Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions is making cuts lately. It is a tough time for everyone in the business.
Maybe we all just need a bit of drama to keep things interesting. Like the time a former Love Island host tried to sneak garlic into the Met Gala. Sometimes the news is just weird. We love that.
If you prefer things a bit more classic, you can always look back. We are looking forward to the Film Noir Festival in Palm Springs this year. It has a mood that never goes out of style.
Our Take
CNN used to be the gold standard. Now? It feels a bit lost. Diller has the money and the vision to fix it. We think a little creative spark is exactly what that newsroom needs right now.
