CNN ‘blowing up’ its morning show next after Brian Stelter firing: report

NYPost: CNN brass is reportedly planning to shake up the network’s morning show “New Day” as its next move following the abrupt dismissal of ex-anchor Brian Stelter.

CNN president Chris Licht is set on “blowing up” the morning programming block due to poor ratings, a report said late Monday.

Licht, who previously served as executive producer on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and “CBS This Morning” prior to taking CNN’s top job, has tapped fellow ex-CBS staffer Ryan Kadro to lead the overhaul, the Daily Beast reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

CNN is in the midst of a transformation led by Licht and WarnerBros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who are pushing the left-leaning network toward a greater emphasis on fact-driven and nonpartisan news coverage. more

  1. “greater emphasis on fact-driven and nonpartisan news coverage”

    Greater, not full and complete and emphasis, which confirms that they’re not going all the way.

    The brainwashing will continue but it will be relabeled.

  2. Licht is a pragmatist, he understands that the old model, water carriers for the DNC, is not working. He is on his Road to Damascus and a recommitment to journalistic integrity, to holding the powerful (no matter what party) to account, to go back to the old free press model of afflicting the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, this is their only path to survival.

    I for one hope he succeeds, it wouldn’t take much for me to abandon FoxNews altogether if CNN actually turned honest.
