CNN CEO Chris Licht in Crisis Mode, Apologizes to Staff and Vows to Win Back Trust.
TL;DR Summary
Dozens of CNN on-air talent, producers, and journalists have criticized CNN boss Chris Licht after his profile ran in The Atlantic. Insiders are questioning how David Zaslav got the network in this mess in the first place. Licht's comments about CNN's COVID coverage and his ego have enraged network staffers. Licht's camp appeared to leak unflattering internal data to try to defend his negative portrayal of the network's COVID coverage. Licht made a weak attempt at damage control during Monday's 9 a.m. staff-wide editorial call. Insiders suggest that Licht should start negotiating an exit with Zaslav.
