The Rise and Fall of Chris Licht at CNN.
Former CNN CEO Chris Licht was spotted at a posh New York City restaurant with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after being fired from his job earlier this week. Licht was let go in part due to his criticism of CNN's past coverage, which he suggested was too partisan. He also faced criticism from staffers for his efforts to pull in a more diverse audience falling flat. Licht and his CNN chief of staff Devan Cayea shared the photo on their private Instagram accounts.
