Jason Kilar, the CEO of CNN's parent company WarnerMedia, has apologized after he said at a conference that the COVID-19 pandemic is 'really good for ratings.'
Kilar made his comments during his keynote address at Morgan Stanley's Technology, Media and Telecom Conference and apologized after he was called out on Twitter by the Wall Street Journal's Joe Flint.
'It turns out the pandemic is a pretty big part of the news cycle and that's not going away any time soon,' Kilar said during the conference.
He continued: 'If you take a look at the ratings and the performance, it's going well. I think it's going well because A. the team at CNN is doing a fantastic job and B. it turns out the pandemic and the way that we can inform and help contextualize the business is really good for ratings.'
