CNN’s New Boss Is Flipping the Script, Could This Cause a Major Shakeup?
New CNN Chief Chris Licht is now reportedly revamping the left-leaning liberal network in an attempt to return CNN to doing more “hard news” and less opinion.
The new decision would likely cause a slew of new faces on the network.
Here’s what the Wall Street Journal is reporting:
Mr. Licht’s tenure will begin during a pivotal moment for the network. CNN is planning to launch CNN+, which will be the cable news network’s beachhead in the video-streaming wars.

WarnerMedia, currently a unit of AT&T Inc., is preparing to merge with Discovery, a deal that will put the HBO Max streaming service as “90 Day Fiancé.”
The network faces uncertainty over the future of its programming under Mr. Licht, a veteran producer whose credits include “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” and “CBS This Morning.”

Mr. Licht, who declined to be interviewed for this article, has told confidants that he plans to adjust the network’s programming mix to include more hard news and less opinion programming, according to people familiar with the matter.

Biden Federal Reserve nominee embodies Wall Street’s revolving door
Opinion by Tim Carney at Washington Examiner: Sarah Bloom Raskin was always going to be successful, no matter what path she chose. She just happened to choose the path that passes through the revolving door.
Raskin is President Joe Biden’s nominee to be the top bank regulator at the Federal Reserve. On a meritocratic level, her resume qualifies her for the job. She has lots of relevant experience.
