CNN CEO Chris Licht's Struggle for Survival and Apology to Staff.

CNN CEO Chris Licht addressed his staff after a critical profile of him was published by The Atlantic, saying that he should not be in the news unless it's taking arrows for them. Licht has been trying to renovate CNN by tamping down on some of the emotion anchors had been granted to express when delivering the news. However, CNN's ratings have plummeted, and Licht has been hard-pressed to defeat rivals like Fox News and MSNBC, which often rely on hosts who are free to express opinions and pound the desk.
