They own a lot more than just CNN.

Here is the list of Time Warner's holdings:

The OP did not know this. TWC also own a vast amounts of physical markets, which includes the cables in the ground, above ground, etc. Anyone living in those markets belong to TWC exclusively, and Comcast, RCN etc other cable companies cannot compete. Only satellite and phone companies can compete since they have other means of getting the signal to the houses.

My statement was correct. CNN is a division of Turner Broadcasting System, which is owned by Time Warner.

That's the correct parlance. Saying CNN is a division of Time Warner isn't quite accurate.

As for the share holders, the price has gone up from $75 to $110, so I don't think they are looking for a change.
Hmmm..... CNN is not publicly traded. So what's your source?

I would expose Trump as the being the best fake news lier ever. I would show front and center how Trump has conned pretty much everyone he has ever worked with.

Please point to where in the OP that it says CNN has a CEO.

And as usual, you missed the point entirely.

Nice double standard ya got there CNN, it'd be a shame if something came along and screwed that up...

If it wasn't for double standards they'd have no standards at all

Clocking in at No. 10 on the list, CNN fell behind HGTV, Nick At Nite, History Channel, and ESPN — the sports network that’s been hemorrhaging viewers for months.
I pointed out all of these stats last week as well. It went totally ignored as the minions wish to believe things are great for CNN... when they're not.

What would you do if you were CEO of CNN?

Get ready to start kissing Randall Lynn Stephenson's azz, the CEO of AT&T.

CNN is going to change and everyone at CNN knows it.
