    I guess I was wrong about Tapper.

    Did Tapper not push back because he's soft or because he was sick?

    What accounted for Jim Acosta's fall from grace? Is he still working weekends? I don't know.

    I tend to watch Acosta on the weekends. Not sure why he's a weekend desker but he's good.

    I don't know this for sure. ... But my sense is that the White House Correspondent gig is an absolute, soul-draining killer of a life. There are some people who can last at it longer than others, because they are political human chyrons. With Acosta, I figured he wanted to have an actual life again after he gave it away for a few years. ... and they said, "OK, you can be the chief domestic correspondent and weekend anchor."

    I'm not sure it will. It did in the past - see what happened during Vietnam and Nixon era.

    It is, and the biggest way is in technology. Just don't see the novel/album/movie being made. Maybe a TV series or YouTube shorts.

    In the wake of The Atlantic's explosive story, I've spoken with dozens of staffers across the company. There are a wide range of emotions coursing through the halls of CNN. Some staffers are frustrated. Others are angry. Many are sad about the awful state of affairs that has taken hold of an organization they love.

    There is one near-universal sentiment, however, that has been communicated to me: Licht has lost the room.

    Licht's Monday remarks, according to the people I've spoken with, struck the right tone. He did appear humbled. Staffers could hear the raw emotion in his voice as he spoke. And he invited feedback and offered self-reflection in a way that represented a marked departure from how he has governed in the past.

    But Licht, notably, did not apologize for having disparaged CNN's previous journalism, an omission in his remarks that did not go unnoticed by staffers, particularly the network's health unit which has been infuriated by the attacks he leveled against the outlet's Covid-19 coverage. And, overall, the comments did little to move the needle. "Too little, too late," more than one employee said, summarizing the widespread attitude from staffers that I spoke with.
