Political shows are trying to book more conservative voices, and producers have been urged to ignore Twitter backlash from the far right and the far left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times also noted that Licht, whose last job was with \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert,\u201d had jumped from the frying pan into the fire when he moved from managing a show that employed approximately 200 people to a major global network that employed around 4000 \u2014 and the report claimed that \u201csome CNN journalists say they wonder if he can navigate a sprawling, unwieldy global news network past what has been a no good, very bad year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Zucker\u2019s departure \u2014 which was followed closely by that of his paramour, Allison Gollust \u2014 CNN is fresh off the failed launch of fledgling streaming service CNN+. The network also fired one of its top prime time hosts \u2014 Chris Cuomo \u2014 amid allegations of sexual misconduct and the admission that he had advised his brother, former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), while he dealt with his own sexual harassment and assault allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN may be preparing to offload some of its more overtly partisan talent in a renewed effort to promote itself as a straight and unbiased news network.
