Rebuilding Trust: The Future of CNN
An internal survey commissioned by CNN found that the cable channel's sensationalist coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a lack of trust among viewers. Respondents cited an overall liberal bias and the Chris Cuomo situation as the top reasons for their distrust. CNN CEO Chris Licht apologized to staffers after being quoted in a magazine article criticizing the network's pandemic coverage. Licht's future as CNN boss is said to be in doubt as staffers have reportedly lost confidence in his leadership.
