CNN boss Chris Licht slams ‘stunning’ left-wing ‘vitriol’ aimed at him

CNN boss Chris Licht slammed liberals for criticizing his move to make CNN less partisan, saying it only makes him more confident about his decisions.

“The uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning,” Licht, who took over the cable network in May, told The New York Times. “Which proves my point: So much of what passes for news is name-calling, half-truths and desperation.”

Licht was tasked with bringing CNN back to its hard-news roots, to tamp down on anti-Trump, left-leaning punditry, and to cut costs.

Hopefully DU-grade Progs keep dumping on him!

Embrace the suck, Chris. 

Unfortunately, by attempting to counter your company's reputation for being a propaganda sock-puppet for the DNC_{(and worse}, you have begun alienating your actual viewer base, the denizens of the echo chamber who don't WANT un-biased coverage of news events.

Proverbs about lying down with dogs and waking up with fleas might come to mind, but I wouldn't want to insult dogs by comparing them to your viewers.

Be careful whom you associate with, Mr. Licht...

I'm surprised that he's surprised.

He, more than most, should know that when proglodytes don't get their way, they whine, attack, whine some more, and then threaten. Some of them actually do carry out their threats.

Chris, you need to go to Proglodyte University and take a couple of crash courses in Safe Spaces 101, Whinging 201 (I think you've tested out of Whinging 101), and How to be a Dick to Others And Really Mean It.

Don't forget to pay your tuition, otherwise they won't let you register.
