@Beachbum @acosta I have literally 100% boycotted #CNN since they hired #ChrisLicht to make them into #FoxNoise . He is long gone, but so am I! I stream, and put CNN at the bottom of the list, and made it invisible. Haven't seen it in years!

@georgetakei! #CNN threw away entirely their credibility. I've watched 0 since Aug 2022. I thought it strange a relative nobody was hired to run #CNN . They looked far and wide and low to find an unethical lackey to convert it to a #RWNJ outlet. Resign #ChrisLicht . #BoycottCNN #Politics (This was posted 1 year ago. I still am boycotting them. Deep sixed them on my streaming devices).

Rolling StoneChris Licht, CNN's CEO, Steps Down After One Year
In no man's land, CNN
Struggling to draw in viewers
Stuck in limbo still
VoxCNN fires CEO Chris Licht, but the network will still struggle for viewers
#ChrisLicht denigrated his journalists but look who just broke a huge, seminal story in the Trump documents case. A team headed by Paula Reid.
It was a good day for justice:
- Pat Robertson dead
- Chris Licht kicked out as CNN CEO
- SCOTUS rules against Republican gerrymandering in Alabama
- Donald Trump indicted on 7 Federal felony counts
I don't have any real thoughts about Chris Licht because by the time he was hands-on, I had already made the decision to leave CNN, but this article rings true to me.
Thread to follow.

"There’s little evidence that these will be the takeaways from this debacle. But it sure would be pretty to think so."
"Perhaps the biggest cheeses at CNN have learned the right lessons: that you can’t “both sides” your way into ratings success. That there is no vast political middle just waiting to be entranced by performative neutrality. And, most of all, that good journalism has nothing to do with sucking up to would-be authoritarians but rather it demands brave truth-telling."

"What especially confused Chris Licht and the rest of CNN’s management was the difference between being politically partisan and standing up against authoritarian demagogues. They assumed that holding Trump accountable for what he did (and continues to do) was inconsistent with so-called “balanced journalism.”
Wrong. It is not partisan to stand up for decency and democracy. That’s where CNN’s audience wanted — and presumably still wants — CNN to be."
