  2. That morsel surfaced in a searing profile of #ChrisLicht that appeared last week in the Atlantic under the byline of Tim Alberta — a piece that aggregated a run of bad stories about #Licht & added a few new ones. On Wed morning, #CNN staffers learned that Licht was out….

    There are many subplots to Licht’s abbreviated tour, but the #SexualAbuse chyron moment captures a critical one:

  3. A New York jury on May 9 found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing #EJeanCarroll, an advice columnist who sued him years after the #assault she alleged. The next day, #CNN held its much-criticized #TownHall w/#Trump. In its tee-up coverage, a chyron that included the term “SEXUAL ABUSE” appeared on the screen. A lieutenant of CNN chief executive #ChrisLicht notified the control room: Scrub those words.

  4. #CNN boss #ChrisLicht & …top allies have been fired after weeks of turmoil & drama….

    #Licht’s brief tenure as the network’s boss was marked by plummeting ratings, extensive job cuts, programming shifts that didn’t pan out, & high-profile firings of on-air personalities (& Trump’s Town Hall). All of this, it appeared, was part of an effort to reshape CNN into a “centrist” news org & appeal to a supposedly broader audience.

  5. "Licht has taken a bad situation and made it much worse. Whether out of genuine conviction or out of a desire to please the plutocrats who own Warner Bros. Discovery, Licht has mastered the art of deploying centrist rhetoric for reactionary ends. …

    There’s a distinct ideology at work in Licht’s actions, a worldview that can be described as reactionary centrism."

  6. "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."

  7. Chris Licht is OUT at #CNN, says #DavidZaslav, the man who hired him and vouched for him. (One can only hope Zaslav will be next.) During his tenure, Licht single-handedly turned CNN into Fox Lite. Goodbye Chris, and good riddance. So the answer to the question posed by New York Magazine, Can Licht survive at CNN? has been answered once and for all.

  8. Brian Stelter at the badsite says The Atlantic's story about Chris Licht "shocked many staffers, but the people who worked closest with Licht weren't surprised, they were relieved. They felt like the 'absolute truth' had finally been compiled and would now have to be addressed."

  14. Trump Was Awful. CNN Was Worse. Kaitlan Collins and the network’s journalists tried their best. But the execs, from Chris Licht on down, brought total shame on themselves, journalism, and America.
