Former CNN CEO Chris Licht suggested he faced resistance among staffers as he attempted to steer the struggling network in a different direction during his 13-month tenure.
Licht was then asked by ESPN's Stephen A. Smith whether he could "pinpoint" what exactly led to his firing, citing examples like the CNN Trump town hall and the now-infamous Atlantic profile that painted him in a negative light, both having sparked backlash among staff.

"When you try to change something dramatically, you can't do it alone. You've got to build the trust of the organization. They have to believe in you. And I did not build that trust," Licht said. "I was not able to, in the time that I was there, build trust so that people would tune out the noise and sort of follow me into that."
