• CNN’s recent embrace of Republican guests is a sign the embattled network is “making real progress” in its effort to lure back viewers with a refreshed image, according to WarnerBros. Discovery boss David Zaslav.
• Zaslav highlighted CNN’s centrist push during the parent company’s earnings call — while making no mention of recent turmoil at the network over “CNN This Morning” anchor Don Lemon’s sexist remarks.
• “We are already seeing a more inclusive range of voices and viewpoints, as demonstrated last month, when over 70 Republicans came on our air during their congressional speaker election process, a first in a very long time, and we intend to continue advancing on this balanced strategy,” Zaslav told analysts Thursday.
