Longtime Discovery chief David Zaslav, who will soon oversee CNN as part of his company’s merger with WarnerMedia, called his future competitor Fox News Channel “much more of an advocacy network than a news network” on Wednesday. “I think Fox News is much more of an advocacy network than a news network,” Zaslav said, according to Washington Post media reporter Jeremy Barr. Barr also said Zaslav did “not give an answer” when asked about current CNN boss Jeff Zucker’s future at the soon-to-be combined company. Per Barr, Zaslav said he is waiting for the deal to close before discussing — or simply divulging — those types of plans. Domestically, HBO Max and HBO have a combined 45.2 million subscribers.
