Former CNN CEO Chris Licht was spotted during Oscars week seemingly without a care in the world at the San Vicente Bungalows, Hollywood’s starriest private club.
The ousted news exec was seen solo in the corner of the Los Angeles club’s private open air library, texting away on his phone with his feet up.
Maybe Licht’s had the last laugh after all?
The self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” is fighting an uphill battle to remain relevant two years after Discovery took it over, sources tell us.
Anderson Cooper remains as the network’s only primetime star after CNN axed Chris Cuomo, and moved Don Lemon to mornings — only to then fire him last year under Licht’s watch, before Licht was shown the door.
Insiders at the network today feel talent has become an afterthought, after former New York Times and BBC honcho Mark Thompson took the helm in October, following Licht’s catastrophic 13-month stint as its leader.
In an effort to boost ratings, presumably, CNN oddly invited fired Lemon back to promote his interview with Elon Musk.

Sounds like nobody likes him.
The solution is to rebuild from the ground. They blew their heritage on politics. They will not be missed when they are working in the warehouse district trying to build up again.
Deep State doesn’t need thousands of presstitutes to peddle the same propaganda.
Note to real journos: If you want jobs, readers, viewers, clicks, you’ll have to work for the public and not Deep State.
I suspect through a variety of hidden connections CNN is getting Federal funds. Can’t have its unofficial propaganda mouthpiece go away when so many lies are needed!

I wonder what would happen if they hired unknown people to just read the news. Just report the Who, What, Where, When and Why. The Why also needs to strictly be free of commentary, opinion, propaganda and other assorted fabrications.

“Talent”
Boy, is that ever a misnomer in the case of CommieNewsNetwork.
What a wonderful start to my day!
CNN international is still good. Less opinion, more hard news, more international issues.
They cant afford the talent, because they chose to lie for decades instead of reporting the news!
All they need to is START reporting the news! Start doing a deep dive on the Biden Crime Family! and your ratings will SOAR!
It is not just what they report, but also what they chose not to report and how they report it!
If you wont ever report bad news about liberals, or report the race of the criminals people will tune out.
I’m not a fan of CNN, but I’ll help them out here. CNN, fire your entire on-air staff. Replace them with a cute robot programmed to say “Democrats are good, Republicans are bad”, over and over again.
See? Your message will stay the same. Your viewership will stay the same. And you’ll save lots of money.
Yes. That wouldn’t cost much.
