Some interesting details in Politico London Playbook about Boris Johnson and whether he would have got a job at CNN if Licht was still there.
Quote:SCOOP — BORIS’ CNN CHAT: Now that he’s quit as an MP, attention is turning to what Johnson might do next … with books, journalism and a TV show among the things he’s reportedly interested in. On that note, Playbook hears Johnson had a secret meeting with then-CNN chief Chris Licht during his trip to the U.S. in early 2023. Johnson’s spokesman and CNN both declined to comment.www.politico.eu
Of course … Licht has now resigned: But could their private meeting signal a wider appetite at CNN to sign Johnson as an anchor and try to boost ratings?
