I risked my life many times on assignment for CNN, believing they would have my back. They did not,\u201d she said while being interviewed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mohsin worked for CNN for more than five years, initially as the network\u2019s Pakistan reporter and then as the foreign correspondent, according to her LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n<p>CNN refused a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Mohsin, a British-Pakistani journalist, currently freelances for Sky News in London and has created a program for ITV on the agony of living with an \u201cinvisible\u201d disability.<\/p>\n<p>According to an Instagram photograph that Mohsin posted, she told the Daily Mirror earlier this year that after the injury in 2014, she would stand \u201con one leg like a flamingo\u201d on camera but was eventually bedridden as the agony worsened.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2019, Mohsin has worked with a doctor who specializes in pain management to help rehabilitate her injuries and obtain a blue badge, which is London\u2019s equivalent of a disabled parking permit.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe worked out that my ligaments and tendons had been stretched by the tire going slowly over my foot. I\u2019d lost elasticity and structure, had a lisfranc (mid-foot) injury, and complex regional pain syndrome,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mohsin\u2019s case comes as CNN is still reeling from The Atlantic outlet\u2019s blistering profile of former network CEO Chris Licht, which depicted him as a weak and unqualified executive who alienated himself from his employees and struggled to lead in comparison to his revered predecessor\u2019s shadow.<\/p>\n<p>Licht was eventually fired, along with the PR executives who handled the 15,000-word report. Licht has been temporarily replaced by three in-house executives.<\/p>\n<p>Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said the hunt for a new CEO could be lengthy since he needs to find someone who has what it takes to resurrect the struggling network.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed!
