The trash is taking itself out at CNN. Kara Swisher said Tuesday she’s leaving as soon as her contract allows now that Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery is cleared. Good. That tells you what CNN was. If you can’t work under a new boss, it was never about the news. It was about the narrative. A network that spent years lecturing the country doesn’t get to cry when new owners show up. Swisher said it on Pivot. She asked her agent to cut her loose. The deal runs through December 31. She said she thought about a licensing workaround, then decided she doesn’t want to work for the Ellisons at all. She called them terrible media owners and said she’d rather work for Rupert Murdoch. California dropped the lawsuit blocking the $111 billion merger on Monday. Paramount agreed to more U.S. film releases and an editorial board for CNN and CBS appointed by the new owners. Swisher called that board dingbat nonsense. The old CNN was partisan garbage and everyone knows it. A new board is an upgrade. Swisher isn’t walking because the cameras stopped working. She’s walking because the people who used to run the story lost the building. That’s the confession. Let her go.
