Imagine paying $4 a month for CNN. There are a lot of things not worth it in the world, and there's a lot of subjectivity even then, but this is one of the few things I think the entire planet can agree on. This ain't worth it.

Reminder that there’s a “lite” version of cnn that’s just a list of links and text.
Same for npr
Less people getting their news from CNN the better.
How long before private equity buys CNN for parts?
What parts? Their organization is just employee journalists and people reading scripts in front of a camera.
Shouldn't they begin by having content with any value?
I won't even follow links to them right now while they're free.
The last thing that I used CNN for was the Fukushima tidal wave/flood because they had live video before other people. But honestly their journalistic integrity is marginal.
Let's get real, there's no unique news service out there. As soon as any credible news hits any network it is automatically copied reworded and redistributed on every other service.
This is how democracy dies in darkness... Behind paywalls.
Shouldn't they begin by having content with any value?
As someone who's not from the US, what's the general opinion of Americans on CNN as a news source?
What other news channels/sources are considered trustworthy?
Nah.
Why is this "news" worthy? This sucks
