CNN CEO Fired After Trump Town Hall

CNN chief executive Chris Licht, who faced growing public criticism and declining staff morale following several programming blunders and his own disparaging comments about the network’s journalism, was fired Wednesday, capping one of the shortest tenures for a CEO at the cable network. Licht departed under pressure from his boss and patron, David Zaslav, chief executive of new parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, who had charged him with moving CNN toward more centrist reporting and commentary. Jimmy discusses the decline of CNN as the network sought to return to a more “neutral” approach to the news business — an approach that no longer has an audience.
