Well. The thing that gives CNN power is viewership. If that viewership goes away, CNN might go away.

A gambling app that lets you gamble on lots of non-traditional things, like who will win elections, whether a bill will pass Congress, who will be given awards at shows, etc

Kalshi is basically betting, but in a way that gets around state gambling laws. You’re trading futures contracts, so it’s kind of like stocks. Therefore, it’s legal in all 50 states, and you can bet on stuff that’s usually not on a US-regulated book, like election outcomes

I don’t really see the connection. How would CNN be able to fuck with current affairs more than they already could right now?

This is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, but I think it may be up to Congress or a non-Trump-controlled CFTC to rein this in
