CNN announced a restructuring Thursday that includes some 200 layoffs, an accelerated pivot to digital operations and new TV roles for personalities like Wolf Blitzer, Jake Tapper and Audie Cornish.

Furious CNN staffers have rounded on their CEO Mark Thompson over mass layoffs which also saw star anchor Jim Acosta publicly humiliated.    'Honestly, this place is such a mess,' an anonymous on-air personality told The Independent after the roughly 200 firings affecting CNN's TV division.
