Chris Licht, the new boss at CNN, is claiming that they will no longer be a Trump 24/7 news network. We’ll see about that. Old habits die hard.
Can anyone imagine Jake Tapper or Anderson Cooper getting through an entire broadcast without somehow bringing up Trump?

From The Hill:
New CNN chief: ‘We are not going to be a 24/7 Trump news network’
Chris Licht, CNN’s new top boss, said the network will not cover former President Trump as much as it did during his first run for president in 2016 and his four years in the White House.
“We have fact checkers ready to go. We will put things in perspective. We will not let everything he does consume the news cycle, right?” Licht said this week during an appearance on the podcast “On with Kara Swisher.” “There are other things that are important.”
Under previous CNN leadership and former top network boss Jeff Zucker, Licht said CNN and other news outlets “let every little thing that he did consume everything, and so you ended up talking about him for eight hours a day.”
People are a little skeptical about this claim.
Riiiiight. I will believe that when I see proof.

Right. They have to save a little time to dedicate to DeSantis.
