Far-left CNN has another new chief in the form of Mark Thompson, who comes from the far-left New York Times and far-left BBC.
When New York Times CEO Mark Thompson was Director General of the BBC, he looked the other way as reports of rampant and insidious child abuse began to emerge about one of the network’s biggest stars, Jimmy Savile.
The scandal erupted after a BBC program canceled an investigation they were conducting on the BBC star’s activities dating back to the late 1960’s.Mr. Thompson has said he knew nothing of the Savile investigation before it was canceled by the editor of the BBC’s “Newsnight” program. As for what he knew afterward,: He first said he was unaware of the investigation, but then acknowledged he was subsequently told of its cancellation by a reporter at a cocktail party.
Ten years later, with these large corporate and media institutions openly embracing child grooming, it makes sense that everyone shrugged this off. File/Mark Thompson, former director general of the BBC arrives for a select committee hearing on February 3, 2014 in London, England. Mr Thompson faced questions by MP’s over a failed £99m GBP Digital Media Initiative during his tenure at the BBC.
Thompson’s latest specialty is guiding legacy media outlets through the digital age, which is CNN’s only hope. There’s no way a network as hateful and dishonest as CNN can survive as a TV network or streaming service on the merit of advertising revenue and streaming subscriptions. Within ten years, regardless of what this new guy does, it’s hard to imagine CNN as anything other than an add-on to Max that no one will watch.
