New CNN CEO: stunned by “uninformed left wing vitriol” over trying to steer network to actual news

Warner Bros. Discovery tasked former “Late Show” producer Chris Licht to steer a news-first pivot at CNN.

 

“U.S. news is largely populated by ‘advocacy networks’ that ‘make a lot of money by generating and supporting an audience, but CNN is in the journalism business and will be ‘journalism first,” said Licht’s boss, Discovery CEO David Zaslav, in April.

 

Not-so-subtle translation: Licht’s job is to undo the left-wing bias that had come to define modern CNN.

 

Licht began his mission by firing Brian Stelter, Jeffrey Toobin, Chris Cillizza, and John Harwood. He followed those dismissals by demoting lying hack Don Lemon from a solo primetime program to a low-rated morning show which he shares with two co-hosts.

 

Naturally, this change of direction has turned Licht into a target of the Left. The crowded coalition cannot believe a prominent member of the clique would abandon its loyalties to the progressive movement. Elsewhere, MSNBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post have doubled down on hard Left rhetoric this past year. 

 

“The uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning,” Licht told The New York Times on Sunday. “Which proves my point: so much of what passes for news is name-calling, half-truths, and desperation.”

I don't like to use nasty language, but I hope you are aware of how dumb you are/seem on this site, and don't apply those principles in your real life.

The China Communist Party is doing fine, the people are definitely not

 

you could argue the "People's Republic of China" has already collapsed and been replaced by whatever that is right now, and what it will be shortly.

Lol bro, you realize they have transportation infrastructure our country could only dream of? We barely even have trains that goes faster than 80mph for a small portion of the US. Have you seen their new airports? Makes JFK look like a dumpster. The people are doing fine and thriving.

I wish we had this. Some of you really need to travel the world more. The US isn’t special anymore and in many ways lagging behind.

Did I say that? I don’t support their government. But it’s obvious our country is falling behind in many things because our politicians don’t give a crap. We no longer lead in important things like math/science scores, infrastructure, or quality of life metrics. We rather spend 2 trillion on foreign BS wars than make our country better.

Didn’t even need to look to know this but had to prove what an idiot Jon Cooper and his followers are

 

 

Lying is like breathing for progressives. They just do it naturally. They know the left wing cult would never question anything they say.

CNN went way left (make up stories and orange man bad) to get that progressive clicks. now that they go back to the middle ground and attempt actual news, lefties melt down.

 

at least they still got MSNBC and PACS to tell them what to think.

It looks like the rats are abandoning a sinking ship. Or it’s a huuugggeee coincidence these left wing media outlets are moving away from the cult of progressives?

 

Lol, they are hoping to get ahead of the shitstorm before they get caught up in it.
