John Malone, a WarnerBros. Discovery shareholder and board member, had called on CNN to adopt a more centrist approach.
Fired CNN anchor Brian Stelter doubled down on his decision to call out billionaire John Malone on-air last year – asserting that the influential WarnerBros. Discovery shareholder wants the network to be “more like Fox.”
Malone is a member of CNN parent WarnerBros. Discovery’s board of directors. He is also a close confidant of CEO David Zaslav.In a November 2021 interview with CNBC, Malone raised some eyebrows by publicly declaring his preference that CNN shift away from the opinion-based content for which it was known under the network’s disgraced former boss, Jeff Zucker.
Stelter fired back at Malone during a segment on his now-canceled show “Reliable Sources” in February 2020 – just a few months before he was forced out at CNN.“Many CNN staffers found that to be offensive,” Stelter said during the segment, referring to Malone’s remarks. “Jeff Zucker found that to be quite disturbing because he’s looking at that, thinking, what is Discovery’s key shareholder going to do to CNN?”to cancel his show and oust him from the network.
