So, there’s a leaker inside CNN right now, and he’s doing all he can to takedown the new owners, by leaking internal plans and changes to the media.
The leaker just made a big move by going to the media and telling them about a new plan to win back Trump supporters and independents who can’t stand the partisanship CNN’s been famous for.
It’s a bold move, and has really pissed off many CNN “TDS strongholds.”
The new boss, Chris Licht told the staff to stop using the term “The Big Lie” when referring to Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
Mediaite reported that the CNN “leaker” is very upset about this move:
“It’s worrisome that we’re being told how to talk about one of the worst things that ever happened to American democracy,” a CNN insider told Mediaite. “We have to call lies, lies, whether they’re small lies or big lies. Is there any lie bigger than that lie?”
They speculated that the directive could be coming from Warner Bros. Discovery board member John Malone, who has criticized CNN’s approach to news under former boss Zucker.
“It seems to indicate where things are headed,” they added. “We didn’t have this problem until John Malone was sitting on the board of this company.”
It’s understandable why Chris Licht made this move. If you look at many polls about the 2020 election, the majority of Americans believe cheating impacted the election.
Duh. Of course it did.
Well, it looks like the new owners have figured out exactly who the leaker is — and it probably won’t come as a surprise when I reveal who it is…
It’s Mr. Potato Head, AKA Brian Stelter according to inside sources…
Reporter Jon Nicosia said this on Twitter:
“SOURCE: Stelter is “down to weeks if not days” left at CNN. They go on “He is everything that reminds the new owners of the Zucker era they desperately want to get past” – More to come.”
And this:
“They continue: “Management is confident Stelter is the one sharing the internal pushback to fellow media reporters while simultaneously stirring discontent within the ranks””

This isn’t surprising… and here’s why…
Earlier reports claim that three people were given a “final warning” about ending their Stage 5 TDS commentary.
The three stooges were Jim Acosta, Don Lemon, and Brian Stelter.
Reports say new leadership took them aside and told them if they don’t stop with the anti-Trump stuff, they could find another job.
Now, we’re hearing many folks inside CNN are mad about the changes — especially the “big lie” move, and that’s why the leaker (supposedly Brian Stelter) is lashing out.
All I can say is, grab your popcorn because things are about to get really interesting over at CNN…
