First off, let’s just get this out of the way.

In the current form that CNN+ is being launched as, it will be a bust.

People are barely watching CNN as it has lost much of its credibility and has just become a PR arm for the left wing.

Now, CNN is getting ready to launch a streaming service that they are dubbing CNN+.

The network had 365 days to announce which day they would be launching the streaming service and they chose my birthday (March 29th) as the day they would launch it.

CNN media critic Brian Stelter took 3 minutes out of his ironically named show Reliable Sources to offer up what amounted to a long commercial for CNN+.

"It has to be different. It has to be distinctive."

CNN will try and spin this as a success, but I can assure you that it won’t be.

Later down the road, CNN will attempt, likely more than once to repackage CNN+ into something people will want to buy.

We’ll wait and see how that goes, but I will not be holding my breath waiting for this to be a successful launch.
