Former CNN CEO Chris Licht was spotted during Oscars week seemingly without a care in the world at the San Vicente Bungalows, Hollywood’s starriest private club.
The ousted news exec was seen solo in the corner of the Los Angeles club’s private open air library, texting away on his phone with his feet up.
Maybe Licht’s had the last laugh after all?
The self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” is fighting an uphill battle to remain relevant two years after Discovery took it over, sources tell us.
Anderson Cooper remains as the network’s only primetime star after CNN axed Chris Cuomo, and moved Don Lemon to mornings — only to then fire him last year under Licht’s watch, before Licht was shown the door.
Insiders at the network today feel talent has become an afterthought, after former New York Times and BBC honcho Mark Thompson took the helm in October, following Licht’s catastrophic 13-month stint as its leader.
In an effort to boost ratings, presumably, CNN oddly invited fired Lemon back to promote his interview with Elon Musk.

I am sure I could figure out the bias of the international folks—if I ever bothered to watch it.
Everybody has an agenda—if you don’t know what it is then they have conned you.
Nobody has done “straight news” for decades.
You win the thread.
They were creamed by a genius.
The late Roger Ailes, the founder of Fox News.
Ailes’ secret: he understood that television is visible.
He brought great visuals to Fox and people watched it.
Other nets tried to catch up but just spend a few minutes on Fox vs them and the visuals still favor Fox.
It’s interesting that “providing factual information to the audience” was not mentioned in the article, at all.

I am not a techie nerd, but I think, and many of you probably know that we are all being surveilled.
I have gut feeling and just wanted to suggest that we all should have a “CAUTION” before we post.
I find I’m unable to be concerned about whether anybody Out There noticed my mild sneer at Chris Licht, bless his heart.
You are correct but it goes much deeper than you think.
If you carry a cell phone, your exact location is tracked 24/7. If you do ANYTHING on the internet, the NSA has a copy. It has been rumored that anything you say in earshot of a microphone (a cell phone, a computer mike) it may be saved somewhere. I do know for a fact that various agencies can get warrants to surveil in this fashion.
Simple fact is that Deep State doesn’t need thousands of presstitutes to peddle the same crap that fewer and fewer people are buying anyway.
I’ll just bet they have many, many ways to surveil. They live for that kind of power.
But, Laz, I am soo untechie that I don’t own a cell phone. I am a Neanderthalette.
Bet you have a computer, though. 😊
