CNN’s Oliver Darcy Slams Boss Chris Licht Over Atlantic Profile

Meanwhile, other network sources have dubbed Licht a “dead man walking” while CNN stars such as Jake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer, and Erin Burnett have reportedly “lost confidence in the boss” following the 15,000-word profile.

“I fully recognize that this news cycle and my role in it overshadowed the incredible week of reporting that we just had and distracted from the work of every single journalist in this organization,” Licht reportedly said during his Monday morning apology.

“And for that, I am sorry,” Licht added, apparently indicating that he has no plans to leave his role at the network despite the current frustrations amongst his staffers.
