About time the Fake news network did something real. I read its owned by AT&T hmmm.
CNN was founded by Ted Turner in the 1980's (Cable News Network).
Turner owns some other media stations , such as...
Turner Network Television (TNT), Turner Classic Movies (TCM), Turner Broadcasting Systems (TBS), Headline News, and Cartoon Network.
Turner merged with Time Warner in October 1996.
Turner then became an official division of parent company Time Warner.
Time Warner owns assets in film and television which includes...
Home Box Office (HBO), DC Comics, The CW, and Warner Bros. Entertainment and of course the Turner affiliates.
AT&T attempted a $85 billion takeover of Time Warner in November of 2017.
The Justice Department tried to block the take over due to antitrust concerns, but failed. The concern was that with owning and operating these multiple media sources, At&T would have control of what was reported and what was held back from the public.
In August 2019, At%T was succesful in the take-over.
So they now own Time Warner which in turn also owns CNN
Vangaurd and Blackrock and a investment company run by Buffet (i think) are the top shareholders and I think somewhere in the mix Murdock has some intersets in CNN as well.
Murdock owns Fox Media and Sky News among many others.
Next time you see Fox crew coming down hard on the CNN crew (or vise versa) as they usually do, just remember that the pay cheques of the employees of CNN and Fox are signed by the same entity... which should make one wonder what is really going on with these employees and their back and forth banter
Tucker Carlson used to work for CNN, until Murdock shuffled the script a little bit
