Zaslav supports Licht amidst backlash over Trump town hall.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has backed CNN CEO Chris Licht amid rising tension at the network over the decision to air a live Donald Trump town hall packed with his supporters. Zaslav emphasized CNN's desire for more balance on the network, citing a common refrain that he wants to ensure CNN isn't an "advocacy network." Veteran CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour publicly challenged the notion of covering "both sides" of the political spectrum if both sides weren't factual.
