CNN chair and CEO Chris Licht was ousted from the network on Wednesday. Insiders say Licht was responsible for pushing The Atlantic profile forward. I guess the lesson is: when your boss is about to do something really stupid, throw your body in the way. I say that because, last Friday, The Atlantic published a brutal 15,000+ word profile on CNN chair and CEO Chris Licht and today – well, today he got fired. But it was Licht who pushed the project forward over the summer of 2022, including over a long dinner with the writer.

CNN reporter Oliver Darcy described Licht's tenure as "stained by a series of severe missteps." Darcy wrote that Licht alienated employees at all levels of CNN and effectively "lost the room." He said the chairman and CEO alienated employees at all levels of the organization and effectively "lost the room." But he "quickly squandered much of that goodwill through a series of blunders, many of his own making," Darcy wrote. "In the final days, Licht seemed to understand that he had alienated staffers," Darcy wrote.

The Atlantic published a really tough article about CNN CEO Chris Licht. The disaster I'm referring to is Tim Alberta's devastating profile of CNN chair and CEO Chris Licht published Friday. And maybe, the story suggests, that's because that big idea is not really Licht's plan at all but one foisted on him by his boss, Warner Bros. Through the summer, Alberta and Licht and CNN comms people talked about what the story might look like. A handful of sources tell me Kelly was skeptical of whether this was a good idea, Dornic was happy to do whatever, and Licht really, really wanted to do it.
