CNN is making so much money for Warner Discovery that the company is looking to spin it off into another company called "Loser Deadweight Ratings Poison Networks LLC" if my facts are correct. Update: My facts weren't correct. It will be called "Global Networks" or something gay and vague like that.

They will be reviewing the exorbitant salaries they're paying proven ratings-disasters like Anderson Cooper. No one wants to buy a dying company until management gets serious about making it at least plausibly profitable in the future.

CNN is reportedly paying anchor Anderson Cooper $18 million a year -- an eye-popping sum that could be in the crosshairs when the ratings-challenged network is spun off by its debt-ridden parent company.

Cooper, the face of the network and host of its primetime show at 8 p.m., along with other anchors like Kaitlan Collins and Jake Tapper face an uncertain future following Monday's stunning announcement by Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav about the looming split, according to the Puck newsletter.

Zaslav tapped WBD Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels to take over CNN and other cable assets including TNT, TBS, HGTV as part of a new company called Global Networks.

A source told The Post that CNN staffers are worried about Wiedenfel, who they say has a reputation for ruthlessly cutting costs.

"Gunnar news is not good," the person said. "He is slash and burn."

Puck media writer Dylan Byers singled out Cooper and his $18 million salary as a possible target, considering the network remains mired in last place in the ratings.

"Why, for instance, would Gunnar pay Anderson Cooper $18 million a year when Kaitlan Collins draws the same ratings at roughly a fifth of the salary?" Byers wrote.

According to the latest Nielsen ratings, "Anderson Cooper 360" drew 647,000 total viewers on Tuesday -- or about $27 per viewer.

LOL. I see Podcast Opportunities in zis future.
