CNN Rebrands After White House Row, Paramount Takeover

On By The Social CriticIn in brief…, Media & Social Media, Satire

It wasn’t quite what anybody expected but it saved CNN a lot of money on rebranding costs:

A three cell satirical cartoon image on newsprint paper in full color. In the first cell a pedestrian observes workmen remove the CNN sign from their headquarters. The caption at the bottom of the cell reads "President renames CNN “Cancelled News Network”, prohibits reporters from visiting White House". In the second cell, the same pedestrian is walking by the building again and stops to watch workmen reinstall the CNN sign. The caption reads "CNN acquired in Paramount takeover". In the third cell, a visibly befuddled pedestrian is standing by a scene of the signage being reinstalled, but this time is pictured next to a CNN security guard. The speech bubble reads "The new boss calls it Conservative News Network."
