Everything is not well at CNN.
CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy says staffers in the network’s ranks have lost faith in CEO Chris Licht who has been at the center of controversy in recent weeks.
“There are a wide range of emotions coursing through the halls of CNN. Some staffers are frustrated. Others are angry. Many are sad about the awful state of affairs that has taken hold of an organization they love,” Darcy wrote in his Reliable Sources media newsletter late Monday. “There is one near-universal sentiment, however, that has been communicated to me: Licht has lost the room.”
On Monday, Lichet reportedly apologized to CNN staffers during the outlet’s morning editorial call over the negative press attention that has followed the publication of a lengthy profile of him.
In the piece, published Friday by The Atlantic, Licht was critical of the network’s coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic under the leadership of former top executive Jeff Zucker and discussed his ner vision for the network that focuses on facts rather than sensationalism.
“In the eyes of so many at CNN, there isn’t anything Licht can do at this point to win over their support,” Darcy wrote. “They’ve hit the wall with him. As one anchor texted me, in reference to Licht’s announcement on Monday that he will relocate his office to a newsroom floor at Hudson Yards: ‘We don’t want his office relocated to the 18th floor, we want it relocated out of the building’.”
Since taking the reigns at CNN, Licht has made a number of programming changes which say some of the network’s mainstays exit.
Bravo more divide at CNN
CNN was a great network when they reported the news from all over the world. Now the are just a propaganda are of the democratic party.
CNN is no longer a trusted source of News.
They have made Fox the number one news source.
So all the reporters and hosts don’t want to report facts just their little socialist feelings! Boo who! If you just scream and cry enough you will get your own way. Most people have been done with CNN for a long time. The lies and destroying people lives with your lies. You back disfiguring children and destroying children lives because a sick man wants to play dress up and have sex with children. May you burn in hell, you sick unclean unamerican unmoral subcreatures.
