THIS IS CNN: Don Lemon goes berserker on Kaitlan Collins

PBS does this with Frontline.

 

Frontline - - without a political filter? When do they air that version?

Inside the Meltdown at CNN

 

A little more summary for those of us who burned up our free articles?

 

“The media has absolutely, I believe, learned its lesson,” Licht said.

Sensing my surprise, he grinned.

“I really do,” Licht said. “I think they know that [Trump's] playing them—at least, the people in my organization. We’ve had discussions about this. We know that we’re getting played, so we’re gonna resist it.”

 

It's a disservice to a fine 15000-word piece, but 'Hicks Nix Licht's Picks' covers it.

 

Everything -- and all I need to know -- about Licht I've learned from KO's podcast...and that's namely that Licht is a paste eater.

I love not being able to reply to a steaming pile of bullshit for fear of being accused of “replying to every post.”

 

Chris Licht reminds me a lot of Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin gave us a look at how he thinks news ought to be done in "The Newsroom", and it has nothing to do with anything approaching reality. A lecture from a guy who has never set foot in a newsroom and is just relying on the knowledge that he is the smartest person on earth, and therefore he is right.

The Trump round table was an absolute disaster in ways that every single adult other than Chris Licht could see coming from the moment it was announced.

Soon enough, Licht will be fired and replaced with someone who won't work so hard to mask the fact that his boss wants CNN to be Newsmax.
