CNN head says ‘uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning’ … looking to change the network’s direction.

Chris Licht, who has been CEO of CNN since February, said he is surprised by the amount of “uninformed vitriol” from liberals, as he is looking to change the network’s direction.

“The uninformed vitriol, especially from the left, has been stunning,” Licht said during a series of interviews with The New York Times published Sunday. “Which proves my point: so much of what passes for news is name-calling, half-truths and desperation.”

Licht having taken over for fired CEO Jeff Zucker and the Licht shedding some of the cable news network’s on-air talent has been perceived as a sign CNN has moved so far to the left that it’s losing viewers.
