Brian Stelter and Jim Acosta aren’t the only CNN anchors being evaluated
Recently appointed CNN chairman and CEO Chris Licht is assessing who should stick around, and who should be shown the door, as he is "determined to tamp down spectacle" and restore the network’s reputation.
"Chris is the midst of an entire org evaluation, which includes a review of talent and executives -- not just two anchors. He’s determined to tamp down spectacle and has discouraged the presentation of content in an alarmist fashion," a CNN insider told Fox News Digital.
The "two anchors" comment was a reference to an Axios report last week that suggested Brian Stelter and Jim Acosta were seen as the "face of the network's liberal shift" in the eyes of conservatives.
Licht has already toned down the network’s use of the "Breaking News" on-screen graphic that became commonplace during the previous regime.
Fox News Digital has also learned that Licht recently informed staffers that he wasn’t thrilled with CNN anchors and pundits regularly referring to former-President Trump’s 2020 election claims as the "Big Lie," which is frequently invoked by on-air personalities like Stelter, Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper and Jim Acosta.
