In no man's land, CNN
Struggling to draw in viewers
Stuck in limbo still

#ChrisLicht denigrated his journalists but look who just broke a huge, seminal story in the Trump documents case. A team headed by Paula Reid.
CNN loses a light
Chairman departs the network
Leaving a deep void

‘Less than 10 million people watch cable news nightly; 155 million voted in the 2020 election. There simply aren’t enough rabid news consumers who are also staunch centrists to sustain a network’ #chrislicht
"The solution proposed by Licht and his bosses at Warner Brothers for the "jersey" problem was nothing more than bothsiderism. Because, for all his protestations that 'You can’t tell me it’s not raining [when] it’s raining,' Licht's plan was to make #CNN a hospitable place for people who look into a thundercloud and call it sunny weather." You must read Wonkette's take on the #ChrisLicht fiasco.

#ChrisLicht "is out".
How can anyone working in the mainstream news media not understand at this point that #ETTD ?
It's good he's gone, someone that oblivious shouldn't be in charge of a news stand, much less a news agency.
