Liberal podcaster Keith Olbermann continued his assault on new CNN President and CEO Chris Licht Wednesday, this time using anchor Erin Burnett as his reasoning.
During Erin Burnett OutFront, the anchor covered a story published by New York Magazine in what it called a six-month investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop, which Olbermann panned.
“It went over like a lead balloon. No traction, no interest in the story almost anywhere on social media, not even the right-wingers seemed hopped up about it. Except for Erin Burnett,” Olbermann said. “A five-minute segment on it in a 60-minute news broadcast, including a live interview with one of the co-authors. The irony here is the story wasn’t even interesting or salacious. It’s hard to imagine that what CNN did with it will save Burnett from the wrath of the new right-wing hatchet man running CNN, Chris Licht. Or as I always like to give him his full title: Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CNN Worldwide and The Guy Who When We Were At MSNBC Together I Used To Think Ate Paste.”
Olbermann has continued to slam the CNN President, calling him a “corporate butt-kisser” during a podcast last month. The Countdown With Keith Olbermann host has previously stated people were unaware “how dangerous Licht would be for this republic” in his role at CNN.
