when discussing <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-trump-says-jan-6-represented-the-greatest-movement-in-the-history-of-our-country-to-make-america-great-again\">Trump<\/a>&#8216;s claims about the 2020 election, saying they should instead use &#8220;election lie&#8221; or &#8220;Trump&#8217;s election lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Curtailing the use of the phrase is the latest in a string of changes made by Licht to reform the network and its coverage since he took over in place of <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-jeff-zucker-resigns-as-cnn-president\">Jeff Zucker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\"><\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>As Mediaite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/scoop-new-cnn-boss-chris-licht-wants-staff-to-stop-calling-it-the-big-lie\/\">reports<\/a>, Licht made the announcement during a conference call with management and executive producers on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>He argued that saying &#8220;the big lie&#8221; makes the network appear less objective given the phrase&#8217;s use as a slogan by members of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>It should be noted that Licht did not shy away from continuing to refer to Trump&#8217;s numerous claims about &#8220;election fraud&#8221; as lies, he simply wanted to do away with that particular phrase.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>In its place, he suggested staff use &#8220;election lie&#8221; or &#8220;Trump&#8217;s election lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that CNN&#8217;s hosts and producers love to parrot the Democrat slogan. It has since been mentioned over 150 times in June alone, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/january6th.house.gov\/news\/watch-live\">Jan. 6 Committee holds its first hearing<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The news was met with mixed reaction from those within the company, one of whom told Mediaite it was a &#8220;worrisome&#8221; decision given the magnitude of Trump&#8217;s claims.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Earlier in the month, Licht <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/cnns-new-ceo-plans-to-prune-partisan-personalities-and-programming\">announced<\/a> plans to prune partisan personalities and programming, warning that on-air talent could be ousted if they can&#8217;t &#8220;adjust to a less partisan tone and strategy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Instead of simply firing those who he deems partisan, Licht is hoping to give hosts a chance to reform. Under Jeff Zucker, the network took on a more polarizing and combative tone, largely in response to Trump, who became a major target across its many shows.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"revcontent-slot\" data-v-4da339e1=\"\" data-v-1408f321=\"\">\n<p>Ads by revcontent<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"contributions-container\" data-v-1408f321=\"\">\n<div class=\"partial contributions-epic\" data-v-37b8bc14=\"\" data-v-1408f321=\"\">\n<div class=\"inner\" data-v-37b8bc14=\"\">\n<h2 data-v-37b8bc14=\"\">Join and support independent free thinkers!<\/h2>\n<div class=\"words\" data-v-37b8bc14=\"\">\n<p data-v-37b8bc14=\"\">\n                We\u2019re independent and can\u2019t be cancelled.
