The a16z Show · Marc Andreessen: Monitoring the Situation and the Future of Media · 21 Apr 2026 podcast

It's live.

And then you just people are just going to be glued to this thing.

OK, so that was the original CNN business plan.

They then took a while to get up and running, but then they actually did implement this.

And for our older viewers will remember, as I do, the real breakthrough point was the 1991 Gulf War, the first invasion of Iraq.

And that was the thing that really caused the whole thing to punch through.

And there was like a week there.

where basically people were just glued to CNN around the clock because they had, it was like literally live on the ground coverage of, they were in Baghdad with like bombing raids happening, all kinds of crazy stuff and the Iraqi government and like just the whole thing.

And so it was just like the most incredible show in the world.

And then quite honestly, they spent the next whatever, 20 years basically trying to repeat that experience.

And they repeated it every now and then with the Monica Lewinsky thing was that for a while and the OG trial was that for a little bit.

But it was just kind of hard to come up with the next thing like that.

And then over the last 20 years, CNN has kind of become something completely different today, let's say.

That's not that at all.

And then basically what's happened is the Internet reinvented randomonium, right?

And so, right, the experience of monitoring the situation on especially, you know, on social media and especially, of course, on X. On X.

Right, specifically, right?

And then by the way, also streaming, right?

The other part of it is streaming and now there's obviously streaming on X, but also there's streaming on other platforms, YouTube and Twitch and so forth.

And so the internet reinvented this, right?
