Former CNN senior media reporter and liberal media janitor Oliver Darcy expressed disgust in his Tuesday night newsletter Status that “one of Warner Bros. Discovery’s most powerful stakeholders” and legendary media boss John Malone has been blasting CNN this week in interviews with CNBC and The New York Times about a new memoir, insisting CNN’s “a left-leaning, anti-Trump news service” run by “progressives.”
As a result, he argued, CNN has become “a shadow of what its founder [Ted Turner] had envisioned” even if it has some “great journalists.”
For this, Darcy seethed that his “groans” and “swipes” were a reminder “most of the MAGA audience simply cannot be appeased” no matter the number of “moves to soften its posture toward Trump” like “oust[ing] top anchors like Don Lemon and Jim Acosta, put[ting] dishonest MAGA commentators like Scott Jennings across its programming, and, broadly speaking, toned down the punchy style in which it reported during the Jeff Zucker years.”
Darcy — the man who melted down over One America News being allowed on YouTube TV and has supported efforts to ban Fox News, Newsmax, and any conservative media outlet from cable packages — claimed Malone and anyone who dares to raise concerns about CNN’s biases are impatient and impossible to please.
