Puck’s Dylan Byers had a new dispatch Wednesday night on the drama inside Chris Licht’s CNN and his failing project, CNN This Morning, triggered by co-host Don Lemon’s squabbles with co-hosts and controversial comments.

CNN in Disarray: Lemon’s Sour Ratings, Licht Wants Barkley to Save CNN

February 10th, 2023 5:54 PM

Chris Licht’s CNN tenure has been nothing short of a disappointment. Having promised to tone down the laser focus on only a few stories a day, partisan sensationalism, and snark that dominated Jeffrey Zucker’s reign of terror, Licht implied wholesale changes were in order. Not only has he failed thus far, but the inmates remain in charge of the asylum (despite layoffs and the ushering out of…

It’s a Cult: CNNers Continue Worshipping Zucker Despite Ouster

Through a series of stories this week, it was evident CNN’s current staff have no interest in being salvaged as a serious news organization and anything other than a far-left propaganda outlet worthy of being some combination of mocked and ignored.
