CNN chief executive Chris Licht has been ousted after weeks of mounting criticism and a plunge in ratings. Licht had been in the position for just over a year and was part of a drive to steer the network toward a more “centrist” position. Last month, CNN came under fire for hosting a chaotic live town hall event with Donald Trump, in which he continued to spew lies before an audience of his supporters. Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich wrote, “The lesson is that Licht’s goal of shifting CNN from anti-Trump confrontation toward an imagined political center was doomed from the start, because there is no longer a political center.”
