CNN Biography: The History and Evolution of Cable News Network

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Updated CNN Biography CNN, or Cable News Network, is one of the most influential media organizations in the world. Launched in 1980 as the first 24-hour news channel, CNN changed the way people consumed news, shifting from scheduled broadcasts to a real-time flow of information.

ICYMI or forgot about the #RightWing owner of #CNN.

"The leading shareholder in Warner Brothers Discovery is John Malone, a multibillionaire cable magnate.

Malone describes himself as a “libertarian” although he travels in rightwing Republican circles. In 2005, he held 32% of the shares of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. He is on the board of directors of the Cato Institute. In 2017, he donated $250,000 to Trump’s inauguration.

Malone has said he wants CNN to be more like Fox News because, in his view, Fox News has “actual journalism”. Malone also wants the “news” portion of CNN to be “more centrist”.

*He's also the largest individual land owner in the country.*

IT WAS A SET UP

Just confirmed that this is somewhat true but misleading. It's the company owners not the CEOs that vocally support the right wing

CNN:

ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC:

The media's Anti-Biden noise isn’t an accident:

John C. Malone, the single largest owner of land in the United States, sustained a devastating portfolio hit portfolio Thursday. 

Qurate’s exercise in cliff-jumping saw shares drop more than 20 percent.

As the largest shareholder of Qurate Retail (NASDAQ:QRTEB), Malone had the most on the line when the company announced paltry fourth-quarter earnings. The company’s fourth quarter earnings were positive, but they didn’t satisfy the analyst’s community’s EPS consensus.

Qurate shares sunk 20.5 percent on the day, dragging the company’s market cap down with it.

Malone controlled 40 percent of all Qurate common stock as of January 31 earlier this year.  When the company shed 20 percent of its value, or $1.7 billion, on Thursday, Malone ate the brunt of that loss. Specifically, he suffered a hit of about $680 million.

Who is  John C. Malone, Anyway? 

The tentacles of this man’s empire stretch far and wide. Malone serves as chairman of Qurate Retail, Inc, which is a subsidiary underneath the umbrella Liberty Global network. He was born Milford, Connecticut and is 77 years old, but he’s mentioned in the press as a below-the-radar billionaire who lives on a ranch in Colorado, hence the “cable cowboy” nickname. 

Liberty Global was on pace to generate $15.5 billion in revenues last year and is considered “the world’s largest international TV and broadband company.” Liberty Media, for example, is the largest shareholder in SiriusXM. (acquired Pandora for a cool $3.5 billion last fall.)

His portfolio includes stakes in Discovery Communications  as well as the Atlanta Braves professional baseball club. In 2016, Lionsgate bought Starz for approximately $4.4 billion. Malone controlled Starz when it was acquired, and he reportedly retains a stake in the merged company.

He owns more than 2.2 million acres of real estate in the U.S. across nine states, and Bloomberg pegs his net worth north of $8 billion in total. His net worth is a whopping 142,464 times greater than what the median U.S. household makes in a 12 months.

When he completed the purchase of 1.2 million acres of Maine real estate in 2011, he eclipsed Ted Turner of CNN fame as the largest private landowner in the United Staes.

The U.S. federal government owns 640 million acres of land, which is good for about 28 percent of the country’s 2.27 billion acres.

Buy the bounce?

After a brutal day for Qurate, a dead-cat bounce looks like it might be a viable trade for some bullish traders out there. Qurate breached its previous 52-week low of $18.04.

With the last trade executing at $18.01, according to TradingView, Qurate shares are now sitting squarely in oversold territory.

Qurate Retail’s RSI declined lower than 30, putting the asset squarely in oversold territory.

Trump blasts NFL for anthem protests, says not about race

BOSTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump kept up his verbal battle with the National Football League over players who drop to one knee during the national anthem, saying on Monday their acts of protest had nothing to do with racism.

Dozens of NFL players, coaches and even some owners joined in silent protest at games on Sunday against Trump’s call for owners to fire players who do not stand during the “Star-Spangled Banner.”

“The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!” Trump said on Twitter.

Some black athletes disputed that statement.

“It is about race. It is about inequalities in our communities,” Miami Dolphins player Michael Thomas told CNN. “People are going to continue to … voice their opinion.”

Trump kicked off his battle with the largest-grossing U.S. professional sports league at a rally on Friday, when he said any protesting player was a “son of a bitch” who should be “fired.”

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that anti-racism protests should not be directed at the flag.

“If the debate is really for them about police brutality, they should protest the officers on the field that are protecting them instead of the American flag,” she said.

The controversy highlighted a deep political rift that Trump’s election has exposed across American society.

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequities last year. No NFL team has signed Kaepernick for this season.

Not all players joined in Sunday’s protests. Notably, Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Alejandro Villanueva, a U.S. Army veteran, stood alone at the entrance to the stadium for the anthem on Sunday while his teammates waited in the locker room.

Villanueva jerseys and other apparel have outsold those of all other players in the past 24 hours, said a spokesman for online retailer Fanatics, which operates NFLShop.com.

Villanueva’s teammate, Ben Roethlisberger, on Monday said he regretted having missed the anthem.

“I was unable to sleep last night,” Roethlisberger said in a statement. “I personally don’t believe the Anthem is ever the time to make any type of protest.”

NEXT TEST

The next test of NFL sentiment comes in Phoenix, Arizona, when the Cardinals host the Dallas Cowboys at 8:30 p.m. EDT (0030 GMT). Neither team has had a player conspicuously kneel during the anthem.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed pride that his team has not joined in anthem protests, last month calling other athletes’ actions “really disappointing.”

Trump called for a boycott of games. Early reports from the major networks were mixed.

CBS Corp said overall viewership of games it broadcast on Sunday was up 4 percent from last year and 1 percent from last week.

NBC, owned by Comcast Corp, said viewership for its Sunday night game was down compared with the prior week.

The debate attracted intense attention online, with the hashtag “#TakeAKnee” racking up 2.4 million mentions and “#TakeTheKnee” used 1.2 million times by Monday, while “#BoycottNFL” had 101,500 mentions.

Prominent players continued to speak out against Trump on Monday.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who has said he considers Trump a friend, on Monday said he disagreed with Trump’s remarks.

“I thought it was just divisive,” Brady told Boston’s WEEI radio.

At the same time as he berated the NFL, Trump praised car-racing league NASCAR, which saw no protests at its Sunday race in New Hampshire.

One of that league’s stars, Dale Earnhardt Jr., responded on Twitter.

“All Americans R granted rights 2 peaceful protests,” Earnhardt wrote. He then quoted the late President John F. Kennedy: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
