Liberty Media chairman John Malone, who sits on the Discovery Communications Inc. board of directors, wants to see left-wing CNN revert back to nonpartisan journalism following the completion of a merger that would put the liberal network under the Discovery umbrella.

CNN’s current programming slate features a variety of shows – including"New Day,""Anderson Cooper 360,""Cuomo Prime Time" and"Don Lemon Tonight" that don't always align with founder Ted Turner's bare bones, just-the-facts approach to journalism.

CNN, which has struggled to attract viewers during the Biden era, has been long rumored to be sold off as it isn’t a clear fit for the streaming world. However, Malone would prefer to keep it and rehabilitate its reputation. "I think a coward's way out would be to sell it or spin it off and then tell it in some tax-efficient way," Malone said."I do believe good journalism could have a role in this future portfolio that Discovery-TimeWarner’s going to represent."Discovery CEO David Zaslav will lead the combined company called Warner Bros. Discovery and he has publicly committed to keeping CNN after the merger. While Malone is on board with keeping CNN, he is aware other might not agree.

CNN’s most popular program in October was the scandal-plagued "Cuomo Prime Time," which averaged 811,000 nightly viewers to finish behind 15 Fox News and seven MSNBC programs.
