A former CNN anchor published an essay Thursday that criticized his former boss at the network. The essay described the executive's career path and questioned his qualifications for the role. " The essay noted the executive's 13-month tenure at the network, which included efforts to shift coverage toward the political center.
It also referenced slumping ratings and employee morale during that period.
The essay also discussed the end of a late-night program, which the former anchor said had been losing $40 million to $50 million a year. He described the host as "brilliant" and said the host would find a new chapter after the final show. The former anchor claimed his own departure from the network stemmed from his criticism of Republicans.
" The essay concluded that the real victim of these developments is the First Amendment and journalism.
