The streaming wars have left big players with some battle scars: Netflix is recovering from a rough year so far, and CNN+ is no more. Axios media reporter Sara Fischer and The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern discuss what went wrong for the service, and why Warner Bros. Discovery has opted to shut it down. Political strategist and pollster Frank Luntz discusses America’s complicated response to corporations getting involved in politics, as Disney finds itself on the outs with Florida’s lawmakers. Plus, Elon Musk is still trying to scrounge up the funds to buy Twitter.
