| Chris Licht losing his edge. |
Cable news CEO Chris Licht has lost trust among CNN staff and Warner Bros. Discovery's controversial CEO David Zaslav. Licht best known for helping build The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Morning Joe.
Licht had led CNN further down the pit.
While hyperpartisan networks like Fox and MSNBC have generated ratings with endless banter about Washed Up 45, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, CNN struggled to generate a fair share of the banter.
CNN has allowed Washed Up 45 a platform to spread endless bullshit. The moderator Kaitlin Collins gets promoted after being called a "nasty woman." It riled up all the CNN staff. They thought it was totally incompetent to allow the former president go on lying without being fact-checked.
Licht fired Robin Meade, Jeffrey Toobin, John Harwood, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon and Brian Stelter. Demoted many of its notable contributors and told hosts to keep partisan coverage limited.
Tim Alberta of the The Atlantic wrote that Licht took a gamble a lost.
The story is called, "INSIDE THE MELTDOWN AT CNN: CEO Chris Licht felt he was on a mission to restore the network's reputation for serious journalism. How did it all go wrong?"
Oliver Darcy, CNN Media Correspondent and Stelter's former protege was scolded by Licht when he discussed the frustration among CNN staff. They are angry that Zaslav wanting to make CNN as bombastic as Fox.
Fox managed to lose $787.5 million after reporting lies. CNN is losing ratings because they want to be stale and non partisan. They eliminated HLN, gave more airtime to misleading figures and hired Charles Barkley to be paired with Gayle King.
CNN is a trainwreck.
