Trump vs DeSantis, Changes at CNN (Part 2)

What this episode covers

We discuss the now official Donald Trump vs Ron DeSantis battle for the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination, what interests Trump and DeSantis appear to represent, how DeSantis is as much if not even more of a hawk on both the war on terror and the global culture wars than Trump is, and what makes DeSantis a weak candidate on a national scale compared to Trump. We also discuss the changes at CNN, with John Malone and David Zaslav in primary positions of control and influence. We talk about differences between CNN now compared to CNN under Jeff Zucker, and how CNN appears to be positioning itself as a much more Trump friendly outlet than Fox News, which has shifted away from Trump to DeSantis support. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-russian-mole-and-the-fight-for-the-promised-land https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitri_Simes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Zaslav https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Malone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaitlan_Collins https://altcensored.com/watch?v=_fCtlpSpb5U https://altcensored.com/watch?v=WI5k6Y9uFb8 https://altcensored.com/watch?v=Ita6XZZAixY https://altcensored.com/watch?v=gHSsoJPfxTo https://altcensored.com/watch?v=92ni6lZ6D8Q
