CNN's embattled CEO, Chris Licht, is out after a turbulent first year that included layoffs, a botched town hall with former President Donal

Here, in a nutshell, is everything wrong with CNN and why it cannot be fixed:
Licht had argued that CNN had strayed too far from its roots, and spent much of his time publicly condemning the network's coverage of former President Donald Trump, the COVID-19 pandemic and many other key subjects. In so doing, he was echoing the mandate of Zaslav, who had taken over CNN as part of Discovery's acquisition of Warner Media last year, and Discovery's most important investor, the conservative media magnate John Malone.
Not conservative, reactionary.
Chris Licht was wrong. He was also expendable. But he was a symptom of the fascist malignancy of David Zaslav on the marching orders of David Malone. Until they and their collaborators are purged, and CNN returns to reality-based actual journalism, it must be shunned.
