Charlie Gasparino: AT&T is looking to sell CNN
Fox Business Network senior correspondent tells ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ Jeff Bezos is ‘uninterested in CNN, for now.’
AT&T is reportedly looking at selling CNN to pay its massive debt, but the cable news company may have hit its peak "hating Trump," Fox Business Network senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino argued Friday.
"CNN does not have Donald Trump to kick around anymore and their ratings will take a hit," he told "Tucker Carlson Tonight," given the current projected presidential election results.

"They need to cut costs. There's an active investor out there," Gasparino said.
