Chris Licht

CNN This Moring co-host Don Lemon travelled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to promote the show and insist that “I don’t think we were liberal” when speaking about the pre-Chris Licht era.

Inital reports to the contrary, new CNN CEO Chris Licht has made clear that he wants the network to retain its partisan liberal "edge."

In both a memo to staff and a story about the network on CNBC.com, CNN boss Chris Licht marked six months this week with the struggling liberal network by announcing he’s been tasked with costs cuts and layoffs as, according to CNBC, CNN’s profit “is set to drop blow $1 billion this year” and Warner Bros. Discovery is aiming to layoff 1,000 people from its 40,000-workforce. 

CNN continued its programming overhaul with a huge release Thursday revealing that, starting October 10 and going through the week of the midterm elections, Jake Tapper will move to primetime to takeover the 9:00 p.m. Eastern timeslot previously held by Chris Cuomo.

Video editor Bill D’Agostino and I were at the helm for boss Tim Graham for Monday’s show, which we hit the ground running on by reminiscing Brian Stelter’s infamous tenure at CNN and breaking down the final episode of Reliable Sources.

CNN’s chief media correspondent and liberal media janitor Brian Stelter — perhaps one of the most polarizing liberal journalists of all-time — is being pushed out of the network and his show Reliable Sources being cancelled following a final episode this coming Sunday.

On CNN's New Day, co-hosts Brianna Keilar and John Avlon, discussing Tuesday's primary results, parrot Democrat tropes, "democracy on the ballot," "election denier," and "the big lie." This despite new CNN head Chris Licht saying he wants the network to become less partisan, and to avoid such tropes, singling out "the big lie," because it "makes the mistake of adopting branding used by the…

Washington Free Beacon editor Eliana Johnson penned a story on Monday headlined “CNN Chief’s Republican Apology Tour.” Chris Licht has been trying to get Republicans to accept interview invitations. One hopes they expressed skepticism that a guy who's been in charge of Morning Joe and Stephen Colbert's Late Show knows anything about being nice to conservatives. 

On Thursday, CNN’s global employee town hall generated some interesting news as new boss Chris Licht announced some of the plans and intentions to his nearly 5,000 underlings. Among the headline-worthy items to come out was Licht’s dissatisfaction with the morning show New Day, a desire to have something “fun” in Chris “Fredo” Cuomo's old 9:00 p.m. timeslot, a clampdown on leaks, and…

Former CBS and MSNBC producer Chris Licht formally took the helm of CNN on Monday morning and, in a 650-word note to employees, said he wouldn’t be in “the weeds of day-to-day editorial decision making” (like former CNN head Jeff Zucker), take on “‘group-think,’” and ensure CNN is “respectful of differing viewpoints.”

With Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine having dominated the headlines, you may have missed some of the latest headaches for CNN, which has sought to pivot back to its past reputation and reporting of yesteryear thanks to the war. But in reporting from far-left outlets at Daily Beast and Rolling Stone, the headaches over Jeff Zucker aren’t over and, when it comes to…

On his show Monday night, left-wing Late Show host Stephen Colbert was ecstatic that his executive producer Chris Licht had been tapped to become the president of CNN. He heaped praise on Licht while jokingly taking credit for having “trained the next president of CNN.”
