CNN’s Kara Swisher vows to leave the network if Paramount takes over: “I’m not working for you hacks”

The tech journalist, star of the upcoming CNN docuseries Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever, expressed her thoughts on a David Ellison takeover Monday at Syracuse University. “On some level, I don’t have to because I’ve created my own media organization where I make a lot of money,” she said. “So I don’t have to. And so for me stand up to say, I’m not working for you hacks, I’m just not doing it, and it’s not worth it to me. Especially in a business, television, which is the audiences are going like this and aging like this. So, I do a lot better direct to consumer kind of thing. And so it just doesn’t hurt me because I can wander over to MS if I feel like having a television, I can wander anywhere else. But it doesn’t matter because I reach, right now, Pivot has a bigger demo in the 25-to-45 range than all the cable networks in prime time, right?”
