TL;DR
CNN Chairman Chris Licht apologized to his staff following a damaging magazine piece about his first year at the network. The Atlantic profile by journalist Tim Alberta described Licht as an isolated leader primarily concerned with Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Executive David Zaslav’s mandate that the network be more hospitable to Republicans. Licht recognized the damage the piece has caused internally and expressed regret to his staff. The appointment of David Leavy as chief operating officer at CNN has heightened speculation that Licht's days may be numbered.
