CNN Chief Chris Licht “summoned” reporter Oliver Darcy and his editor to his office for a meeting with other top executives to reprimand him for his critical coverage of the network’s town hall with former President Donald Trump, according to report.
CNN and new network boss Chris Licht are facing a fury of criticism — both internally and externally over the event. How Licht and other CNN executives address the criticism in the coming days and weeks will be crucial. Will they defend what transpired at Saint Anselm College? Or will they express some regret? For now, CNN is defending itself.
I’ve never been more ashamed to work at CNN. I don’t think anybody came out looking good. This is entirely a corporate and management failure. They should have anticipated how out of control Trump would be … to think he was going to act more presidential in that kind of setting is just naivety on a galactic scale.
Darcy had also tweeted the day after the town hall, before his meeting with Licht, that “dozens” of CNN staffers, ranging in seniority and positions across the network, “expressed dismay by what they saw transpire on their TV screens.” 24 hours after CNN's town hall, it's all anyone is talking about. Throughout the day, we heard from dozens of network staffers — ranging in seniority and positions across the org — who all expressed dismay by what they saw transpire on their TV screens.
