He moved host Don Lemon out of a prime-time slot and into a morning show with two other co-hosts. Licht attempted to move host Jake Tapper into former host Chris Cuomo\u2019s prime-time slot, but Tapper\u2019s tenure there proved to be short-lived. Cuomo had been let go by the network months earlier after an internal investigation reportedly concluded that the host had inappropriately attempted to help his brother, Andrew Cuomo, as the former New York governor was mired in scandal.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Gutowski, Second Amendment expert and founder of firearms reporting site The Reload, has been brought on as a contributor under Licht\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tim Pearce contributed to this report\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/uninformed-vitriol-cnn-boss-chris-licht-swings-at-the-left-over-stunning-reaction-to-his-reforms\">\u2018Uninformed Vitriol\u2019: CNN Boss Chris Licht Swings At \u2018The Left\u2019 Over \u2018Stunning\u2019 Reaction To His\u00a0Reforms<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV host Piers Morgan said this week that he was backstabbed by CNN host Anderson Cooper during his tenure at CNN, adding that the network is \u201ca lot less friendly\u201d than Fox News. \u201cI gotta say, and this, you know, people can believe this or not, but I find it a very friendly collegiate place &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":1744209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[10886,9069,10885,6962,6117,9373,6118,6202,7690,9462,5263,10884,4774,6148,3720,6195],"class_list":["post-1782757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-backstabbed","tag-friendly","tag-less","tag-the","tag-anderson","tag-cnn","tag-cooper","tag-daily","tag-fox","tag-him","tag-morgan","tag-piers","tag-suggests","tag-than","tag-while","tag-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1782757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1782757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1782757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1744209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1782757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1782757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1782757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
