5. Remember Chris Licht?

Tuesday

He took the hit for CNN's disastrous "Trump Town Hall."

Problem is, he was a sacrificial lamb. The "Town Hall"..and the general swing to the right with more unchallenged Republicans spouting talking points and a painful addiction to "whataboutism"...were all the direct efforts of two radical right billionaires, Warner Discovery CEO Davis Zaslav and his pal John Malone. They threw Licht under the bus and then got worse.

Same will happen with Weiss. They'll single out someone to blame, but it won't be her.
