A new report claims big changes are coming to CNN.
According to the report, Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer, and Jake Tapper all could be on the chopping block.
The report also mentioned that contracts for the key talent don’t come until after the 2024 election which means changes would likely come after that.
A rep for Jake Tapper claimed that the talk of an ouster is false.
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!”
