This week, CNN CEO Chris Licht was fired after a scathing profile was published in the Atlantic.
In the profile, Licht details his own thoughts about how diversity should be defined in the media industry.
In Alberta's profile, Licht claimed to be operating under his own idea of "diversity," one that does not include "virtue signaling."
"I think 'Defund the police' would've been covered differently if newsrooms were filled with people who had lived in public housing," Licht continued.
The diversity Licht did seem to value was geographic diversity, which can be a coded way of saying "not from the liberal coasts."
