CNN's new boss Chris Licht is 'working towards cease-fire on network's aggressive coverage of Fox News' and wants to push hosts away from Trump-era 'opinionated and emotional' reporting and back to hard news

Then they will go to MSNBC for their dose of liberal pablum.

CNN might shoot themselves in the foot. How many will want to watch Don Lemon if he’s not spewing out liberal talking points?

CNN hadn’t been a news station way before Trump.

That's the truth--they weren't called the clinton news network for nothing back in '92.

Why does he need to have discussions with FOX? Shouldn’t he be able to go down to the newsroom with pink slips in hand? He doesn’t need to go anywhere else if it’s his guys who are stuck on stupid!

I’m old enough to remember when we used to call it “Clinton News Network” here on FR.

Does Toobin still have a Job at CNN? If so can’t take any claims to them returning to integrity as having any meaning

Too many tainted reporters there starting with Don Lemon. Clean them out first. Then get rid of the horseshoe desk with multiple commentators parroting narratives while posing as journalists. Restrict the number of adjectives and adverbs they can posit in a sentence that bespeak opinionated narratives and make their statements nouns and verbs that bespeak facts. Go back to the Turner days and hand the news guy a sheet of paper to read his nouns and verbs and then shut the hell up...Oh, yes, make sure Toobin wears a condom to work, We don’t want his dna staining the carpets

“Since when did that happen?”

Well, it must have been sometime after November of 2020...

I wouldn’t know since I haven’t watched since then though.

They would need to clean house before that would happen. Although, it would be fun to watch them report straight news knowing they were dying inside

Malone is a smart cookie.
He knows Fox is done. Too many don’t trust it any more.

Huge opening for a legit 5W’s news source
WITH
some Half-Arsed identified opinion presented as such.

Let all make their case.
Let the people decide.

Tough to make money with that, because Deep Pockets want pay for an an ad campaign pushing an agenda, not news.

He’s going to fire them all and start all over again ... thinking not so and no chance of success.

Licht reportedly told certain Fox reporters and agents to breathe a little easier because he is working towards a ceasefire after his network's unrelenting negative coverage of the competing news station.

The ceasefire is denied. Your total surrender is necessary and must include reoperations for the crimes against journalism and the American people.

Your failure to meet these demands will result in a long over due humiliation and bankruptcy. Replete this is not a negotiation.

Give me a break... If he doesn’t fire everybody that made the network ridiculously partisan and totally dishonest then there’s no chance to reform them at all... No chance, NONE.

Kill the memory of that vile network. If they change the name that would be a start...but if they just tweak the format to get more middle of the roaders and sacrifice the truth, they can duhrop deadso’s. There are more truth seeking networks now, so tweaking ain’t gonna work.

Translation: CNN needs to go back to sounding realistic when they push the Dim propaganda instead of being so obvious like the past couple of decades.
