When your ratings are in the toilet, its time to flush!
Good thing Licht got ousted because under his leadership CNN lost its journalistic independence and integrity. What he tried to do was to go after the Fox audience but that was a mistake. The new CEO should either be Cathy Briggs or Fidel Louis, in my opinion.
CNN girlies are just so easily offended. Pres Trump makes them cry. So funny!
Oh don’t worry, his golden parachute will gently float him into retirement, with millions, while a staff of folks will lose their jobs, out on the crime ridden, drug infested streets of NYC…nice philosophy liberals, good work.
He was unqualified! CNN has become a total joke. Missing Cuomo & Don Lemon immensely.
Will someone tell Chris Licht to become a manager for actors. With that impressive anytime as CEO of CNN that shines bright and shiney and is not something other managers will have, especially actors that want to be News personalities and achors. He has a awesome smile and i always say you can know more about a person by their smile then anyother thing. Peers and new information can change who we were into who we are, however i smile always shows us as who we have always been and will always be. Evil people dont make you get happy when you see their smile and they cant fake that smile. Look at Desantis he is a big ole dork and i love that in my Presidents!
Aww so sad. Someone turned the Licht out. Now they'll have to find another corporate DNC wealth defender to divert neolib rage toward rainbow racial gender culture war fluff and keep them distracted away from labor rights and wealth inequality.
Welcome back to the Late Show!
Why do all these news producers and editors always seem to have German sounding names like Licht, Stein and Berg?
"We made a lot of news!"
-Mr. Licht who was supposed to be covering news, not manufacturing it
Megyn Kelly is saying the town hall had nothing to do with Licht's demise. What a complete buffoon.
Good riddance
I remember when he left the Stephen Colbert show. Such promise then. Im sure he regrets taking the job. I always wonder why a show producer would be picked as CEO. Those are two different monsters.
Man got fired,stop dancing around it guys..this is national not local.
Bye Felicia
I stopped watching CNN 5 years ago… it's a whole lot of NOTHING!!
You can't do bipartisan today.
Good, what a destroyer.
I honestly don't know if CNN would have had more complaints and lost more viewers (I'm one of them) if they had hosted a town hall with Putin.
👏👏👏
If CNN will put Trump on TV, for ratings, they are no better than Fox.
He can always get a job at fox
Everything Trump touches dies
Fun fact, some try to say he was pushing the network "centrist". No way, he was pushing CNN to right wing infotainment.
