This article convinced me to give CNN another chance, after being disgusted with it under Zucker.
IMO the USA does need an honest, unbiased news organization. If CNN can be it, then more power to them.
- jgalt212 3y agoI heard that. And you don't need to overpay all the talking in heads. In England, they are called newsreaders because that's what they do. And if you pay them as such, you'll get a lot closer to break-even.

- s1artibartfast 3y agoI find it interesting that we haven't seen rise of a bipartisan fact-based news media that presents both sides in a deliberate Maner. I could follow a simple format of topic, position one, position two. And obviously could be a debate platform but it could also just be a simple summary of facts

- yesco 3y agoHonestly this article convinced me there is no chance for CNN. To fix it you would need to rebuild the entire organization from scratch, it seems increasingly clear to me that the tabloid elitism they call "journalism" at CNN, was just as much a bottom up issue as it was top down under Zucker. > Licht argued that the media’s blind spots owe to a lack of diversity—and not the lack of diversity that he sees newsrooms obsessing over. He wants to recruit reporters who are deeply religious and reporters who grew up on food stamps and reporters who own guns. Licht recalled a recent dustup with his own diversity, equity, and inclusion staff after making some spicy remarks at a conference. “I said, ‘A Black person, a brown person, and an Asian woman that all graduated the same year from Harvard is not diversity,’” he told me. I feel this really gets to the heart of the problem at CNN. Sadly, I have doubts over whether Licht actually has the skill to pull it off.
