Reports suggest that Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, and other prominent CNN hosts are on the verge of getting the boot under the network’s current management.

Given the plummeting ratings attributed to these hosts, it’s hardly surprising. CNN’s viewership has dwindled significantly, with many attributing this decline to the lack of credibility among its anchors.

One might ask, why hold onto dead weight when it’s dragging down the entire network?

In Touch Reported the following:

Big-bucks talent will become history at CNN as the spiraling network’s new honcho slashes budgets and takes aim at anxious anchors with oversized salaries, insiders say.

New CEO Mark Thompson is preparing ruthless cuts to remake the network as ratings plunge leaving Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper facing dates with the axman, a source says.

“Anderson knows he’s on the chopping block because he makes a whopping $20 million a year. He’s already started looking for a new gig!” a network insider exclusively tells In Touch. “Chris Wallace takes $8 million and figures he’s a likely target, too!”

Insiders say other network favorites including $15 million man Blitzer and $8 million gent Tapper ”“ are also bracing for the boot!

“Everybody knows the focus is on cutting costs,” the insider continues. “No one is safe!”

Breitbart reported the following:

Throughout all of February, CNN averaged only 479,000 total day viewers and 573,000 primetime viewers. Fox News earned almost four times as many primetime viewers as CNN, while MSNBC earned a little over twice as many.

Fox & Friends Sunday earned more total viewers (1.12 million) than CNN’s highest-rated show in February, Erin Burnett Tonight’s pathetic 743,000.

These CNN idiots are paying Anderson Cooper $20 million to attract 741,000 viewers, Tapper $8 million to attract 717,000 viewers, and Wolf Blitzer $15 million to attract fewer than 700,000 viewers. Who the hell knows what CNN pays Chris Wallace $8 million for.

To normal people, that is stark-raving insane, but normal people don’t run CNN.

In the grand scheme of things, it’s astonishing that these hosts, and CNN as a whole, have managed to survive for as long as they have.
