Once Oliver Darcy started openly discussing how people at CNN wanted Licht gone because morale was at a low and nobody told him to stop, I knew Licht's days were numbered. Darcy previously reported that people at CNN were upset over the Trump town hall and the CNN execs told him to shut the fukk up.

It was the same thing they did with Don Lemon: after the Nikki Haley comments, all these quotes started 'leaking' about how he was a massive misogynist and pre-Madonna at CNN right before he got fired.

What I wanna know is who at CNN has such a hard-on for Kaitlan Collins? :wtf:

They promoted her to Chief White House Correspondent at the start of the Biden Administration, but that only lasted a few months before they moved her to the morning show, and that only lasted a few months before they moved her to the 9:00 PM hour, even though she is literally not ready for primetime. They also gave her the Trump town hall that she got steamrolled on.

She's not even cute with her strong ass face. :hhh:

According to that huge Atlantic piece on CNN and Licht's demise:

As we continued chatting, the bond between Lemon and Harlow was evident. She said her husband had advised her to switch roles only if it would mean becoming partners with Lemon; Lemon said he wouldn’t have moved to the mornings alongside anyone else. Less clear was where Collins fit into this mix. Barely in her 30s, Collins had in a few years’ time zoomed from entertainment writer at The Daily Caller to chief White House correspondent at CNN. She had serious reporting chops and a deep roster of sources. Everyone at the network could see that Collins was the future of the brand—a next-generation star who could be synonymous with CNN for decades to come. So why take away her prized reporting post and sit her behind a desk with two co-anchors?

No one really knew. Licht spoke of chemistry and character, of dynamic personalities and geographic diversity. (Lemon is from Louisiana, Harlow from Minnesota, and Collins from Alabama, making them symbolic of a forgotten America that Licht was determined to reach.) But this was mostly game theory. The truth is, Licht didn’t know if it would work. What he did know was that CNN was falling farther behind in the ratings, and that without a daring move, something that could rouse a lethargic network, the discontent would grow louder. Licht remembered what Joe Scarborough used to tell him: “Scared money never wins.”

Licht was ready to gamble. He asked Lemon to take the lead, trusted Harlow to be the stabilizer, and hoped Collins could adjust in a hurry. Licht’s formative experience in television had come from watching Scarborough learn to check his ego and build an inclusive, engaging, highly entertaining program. He hoped Lemon could do the same.

CNN is trying to compete with MSNBC and Fox News.

Most cable news stations are garbage either way. I prefer the local news.
