CNN’s plans for a new streaming service are coming into focus as the cable network’s parent company prepares to merge with Discovery Inc.
The service, known internally by the working title CNN+, is slated to feature new shows from the network’s major anchors, including Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon, according to people familiar with the matter. Those shows would be separate from the programs hosted by Messrs. Cooper and Lemon on CNN’s TV channel, some of the people said.

Drunk or stoned Don the DL? Doesn't matter. Everyone knows what lemon will say - white ppl bad, LE bad, no illegals are in US since Biden took ofc, everyone who disagrees is racist &/or an uncle tim, etc all while pretending to cry. Ugh

cnn has certain numbers of frofessionals . that s for sure .what they really need is freedom and independance .
