Barry Diller expressed a strong desire to acquire CNN, stating the network is ripe for innovation after years of stagnation. He criticized current management for neglecting the on-air product and failing to make necessary investments. Diller believes that CNN's future is uncertain, especially in light of a significant merger involving its parent company. He also mentioned his interest in acquiring Vox Media, indicating a broader interest in revitalizing media properties that have potential for growth and improvement.
"I would do it tonight and tomorrow night before they ruin it any further. Hopefully before it's extinct, which I mean it's not going to be, but I think, I mean, it is so ripe for care."
"They haven't done anything with their on-air product. They haven't really, I believe, at least seems to me, invested in it. I would very much invest in it."
