CNN's Darcy worried about getting axed for criticizing Trump event

Top CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy is reportedly worried he will be fired over his response to the Donald Trump town hall last week.

The senior media reporter was allegedly ‘summoned’ to a meeting with CEO Chris Licht and other top executives where he was told his coverage of the controversial TV event had been ‘too emotional.’

According to Puck News, the meeting ‘put the fear of God’ into Darcy and he was left ‘visibly shaken’, as the network continues to grapple with the fallout from the town hall on May 10.

[Maybe Licht just thinks that Darcy’s criticism was “overwrought” as initially reported, rather than firing anyone who criticizes the network. It could be both, of course, but if it’s the former, then maybe Licht is as sick as most viewers have become of the hyperbolic performative wailing at CNN. — Ed]
