Licht worked with Colbert, it just seems like the only thing that matters here is money and the money and/or will to make CNN better is not there. So the plan seems to be to make CNN even worse and cheaper and hope that they can position themselves between MSNBC and Fox News, when that's obviously crazy for multiple reasons. (People who presently believe CNN is controlled by Satanists for being mean to Trump are not going to come to their senses)
