Also! There’s been reporting for months that Discovery didn’t like CNN+. Discovery management, which pays a lot of attention to business press, provided zero public pushback. https://t.co/IFeHzG9sDR — PolitiTweet.org

Shortest answer for cnn+ shutdown: old management launched it, new management didn’t want it. Getting rid of the old owner’s stuff is the easiest call for a new owner to make. Like ripping up the landscaping. Or getting rid of a $10 billion mistake. https://t.co/SfC1Hcw3c5 — PolitiTweet.org

Slightly longer answer: CNN+ was a tweener product, which old media specializes in and almost never works. It didn’t do the thing CNN does - 24/7 live news - because its owner didn’t want to compete with CNN. — PolitiTweet.org
