Scorching off the presses:
Underneath Licht’s tenure, it actually has been a horrible yr for CNN. Undecided what “ceded management of enterprise operations” means. Might be a resignation, or firing, or demotion, or switch to another a part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s huge empire.
Every day Kos employees author Hunter definitely was hoping for a firing after Licht learned all the wrong lessons from his disastrous Trump city corridor. Heck, Licht’s response was to chew out CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy for publicly criticizing the occasion! Mark Sumner was glad to level out CNN’s ratings collapse within the wake of that city corridor. Additionally, I hadn’t realized it, however Keith Olbermann took to the pages of Every day Kos to trash Licht final September.
Anyway, the man made no pals together with his “let Republicans lie” model of journalism as a result of, actually, that’s not what journalism is meant to be. It’s supposed to tell folks of the reality. CNN’s employees hated what Licht was attempting to do. The viewers hated it, and left in droves. Freaking Newsmax began beating CNN in scores. And the enterprise fits hated it, as a result of if cash isn’t being made, what’s the purpose? Briefly, he shit the bed.
Good riddance. Too dangerous CNN didn’t take heed to Hunter’s recommendation and provides Christiane Amanpour the job.
