CNN vs SUBSTACK
Jon Rappaport
This is a good one, folks.
The word is, CNN has so far spent $250 MILLION on its new + subscription service, which features Chris Wallace, whom they lured away from FOX.
Wallace has steam coming out of every orifice as he notes the + service has fewer than 10,000 subscribers.
It’s not just a flop, it’s a house that burned down to the ground the day after it was built, and the ashes have already been swept away.
Check my math. I calculate CNN has spent 25 thousand dollars for every subscriber to +. Each subscriber pays six bucks a month for the service.
Meanwhile, a number of substack writers have more subscribers than CNN+, for whom these substack writers have spent virtually nothing.
