TL;DR Summary

Former CNN CEO Chris Licht has been seen for the first time since his ousting on Wednesday after just 13 months at the network. Licht, who was brought on to overhaul the network, cleanse it of its left-wing bias and boost ratings, was criticized by ex-colleagues for being hands-off and not taking advice. His departure from the network was announced by David Zaslav, the CEO of CNN's parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. Licht's strategy included an hour-long town hall with Donald Trump, which boosted ratings but saw the former president railroad Kaitlan Collins and enrage staff who were furious that Trump had been given a platform.
