CNN’s Barbara Starr posted a pic on X of the now-vacated room the dying legacy media outlet had at the Pentagon for years. Like CNN, the room is a disgusting mess. CNN is being rotated out for at least a year to free up workspace for other incoming news outlets. It’s all part of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s plan to open the Pentagon to other media organizations.

Many posters were quick to note that the disgusting state of the now-empty space mirrored how they view CNN.
The look at that place just sums up CNN

Send @CNN a bill for the cleaning service. With their news stories being trash I’m not surprised this is how they left the office.

You guys couldn’t clean the workspace that you claim to love so much?
Either way, I’m glad that some journalists will finally be using the space.

If this was an apartment, y’all would lose your deposit for leaving it trashed.

It’s truly a gross sight.
It was hard to avoid the stomach-turning stain on the carpeted floor. Commenters have their theories on who left their mark on the ground.
Who stained the floor? It was Blitzer, wasn’t it?

Somebody needs to do that room with holy water and burn that carpet. God knows what Loobin Tubin was doing in there..

Get real. It was Toobin.
Black light it and you’ll know I’m right.

Ewwww. Anyway, it was Brian Stelter.
Posters wondered how much fake news had its start in the room.
Imagine all the lies created in that office

You say “legacy” as if you don’t believe it when in the same sentence you say you’ve been there for decades

Despite hyperventilating reports, CNN is merely losing a dedicated workspace at the Pentagon. It will still have access to the building. Besides CNN, The Washington Post, The Hill, The War Zone, The New York Times, NBC News, Politico and NPR will be rotated out for at least one year. Outlets being rotated in are The New York Post, Breitbart, The Washington Examiner, The Free Press, The Daily Caller, Newsmax, The Huffington Post and One America News Network.
