As RedState previously reported, CNN’s New Hampshire town hall featuring 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump was a dumpster fire – not for the former president, who pretty much dominated the event, but for the struggling “news” network

The event produced hurt feelings among what’s left of CNN’s viewers and infighting galore, with on-air meltdowns and conference calls where so-called “journalists” expressed their frustrations to CEO Chris Licht, who took a “move along, nothing here to see” approach to the controversy.

Leading the way among the CNN staff pouters has been their media reporter Oliver Darcy, formerly the poodle-like sidekick to ex-CNN media hall monitor Brian Stelter. In the aftermath of the town hall, Darcy penned a newsletter which heavily criticized his network over the Trump broadcast, stating right from the top that in his view, “It’s hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN Wednesday evening.”

In response, some staffers and executives were reportedly incensed by Darcy’s blatantly biased and questionable framing, so much so that Licht called a tense meeting with Darcy, which was said to have left the wildly partisan media figure who is well-known for his one-sided reporting “visibly shaken.”

Fast forward a few days, and we’re now learning from the well-regarded media source who first brought us behind-the-scenes predictions (which turned out to be correct) on how Don Lemon’s days were numbered that Darcy might be next on the list to be told by Licht and company to exit stage left:
