The progressives who consume CNN won't tolerate fair coverage, and conservatives have been burned by CNN enough to never go back. The middle lane is pretty empty these days, but if CNN wants to make a play for the center, it'll be fun to watch who gets on the same page as CNN's new boss and who doesn't make the cut.
"Three CNN sources tell Axios that new network boss Chris Licht is "evaluating" the channel's talent to gauge their ability to do...news...rather than the partisan hackery CNN hosts have become infamous for even as their ratings tank. "If talent cannot adjust to a less partisan tone and strategy, they could be ousted," the scoop reports.
"Apparently, "Licht wants to give personalities that may appear polarizing a chance to prove they're willing to uphold the network's values so that they don't tarnish CNN's journalism brand," although CNN's "journalism" has not exactly been sterling, to put things kindly.
" 'For on-air talent, that includes engaging in respectful interviews that don't feel like PR stunts," Axios' report explains — presumably that means no more Avenatti-level groveling. "For producers and bookers, that includes making programming decisions that are focused on nuance, not noise." Seems like CNN's employees have an uphill climb to make.
"NN, which didn't respond to Axios' request for comment on the evaluation set to take place, is seemingly trying to find some steady ground again to start rebuilding its brand as a news organization rather than a resistance-to-Trump channel.". . .
Avenatti's Hundred-Plus Appearances on CNN Skipped in Report on His Sentencing . . ."Conveniently missing from the report is just how much CNN and other cable outlets such as MSNBC were in bed with Avenatti by hyping him as perhaps no other guest in the history of television. In fact, during a one year period, Avenatti made a grand total of 254 appearances, with CNN leading the pack at 122 guest spots.
"The hosts continually fawned over him to the extent that they shoved renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz out the door. So why would CNN ditch the highly respected Dershowitz for Avenatti? Dershowitz himself gave the best explanation:. . .
