Now that CNN vet Chris Wallace is leaving his 8 million yearly salary for a podcast, CNN CEO Mark Thompson has said they will start laying off people in the masses because of slump ratings in the next few months. They said its only in the production side but many say it might include hosts that get paid allot.
For comparison, in 2016 during their primetime slot, they averaged a little over 13 million viewers which is allot. And today only 800,000 viewers. Some say its because of streaming but FOX news has seen a huge increase in viewership!
