In reply to the discussion: Inside the Meltdown at CNN (after the ill-advised Trump Town Hall) [View all]UTUSN
(77,795 posts)29. The Atlantic, self-indulgently *long* articles, I should have stuck with the OP's excerpt but
read almost the whole link. One point some of us made from the start, that LICHT was a product of SCARBOROUGH back before SCABS made his marital and ideological shift. What the writer doesn't say is what Keith has said, that back in SCABS' shop LICHT would go to the weak boss at MSNBC and threaten him on SCABS' behalf to cancel Lib guests on the other shows with the threat that SCABS would call in sick if not complied with.
Point specific to this article, that the writer has been interacting a LOT with LICHT all during this time and at least at some point with LICHT's *new mission direction*.
Saying again, very LOooong exposition - and without much unexpected INSIGHT.

He's interesting, knowledgable, and imo worth listening to when he comes on MSNBC....

It's predictable that CNN will continue to go off the rails because of Licht and Malone.
