Turns out LICHT is a longtime wingnut flunky dating back to JoeSCABS, Keith warned us:

Last edited Fri Sep 2, 2022, 07:07 PM - Edit history (4)

Some of us more than others have been referencing how LICHT's hacking away at CNN is surprising given his having been COLBERT's executive producer. Keith has tons of history on him: That LICHT was SCABS's "henchman" at MSNBC, who would scare the head honcho Phil GRIFFIN into cutting guests on Keith's and other MSNBC shows who were deemed to be too Lib or whom SCABS's Repuke friends found offensive (to them) and would threaten that SCABS would "not come in to work tomorrow" if GRIFFIN didn't do the bidding or if GRIFFIN would discipline SCABS for trash talking fellow MSNBC hosts.

I for one hereby apologize for bringing COLBERT into this.

*** ON EDIT P.S. - I remember when bowtie CARLSON had an afternoon circus on MSNBC under a guise of being a "nice" wingnut at that time and his producer was Willie GEIST, and Bowtie would bromance GEIST and bring him on camera lots. Both of them were broadcaster/legacy kids. I stopped watching Morning Scabs in 2012 but watched GEIST and Mika Mouse rehabilitate Scabs, with GEIST cultivating his own mainstream status and spread over into Today, while Bowtie festered into his rapacious Faux self. And I've often wondered what relationship those two have and whether GEIST is a double agent. Mika Mouse, too, now for that matter.

My full length warning to you about Chris Licht and @cnn

- how at MSNBC he was Joe Scarborough's henchman and got guests on my show, Maddow's, and Schultz's, banned or cancelled - is in Ep. 19 of the Countdown podcast, at about 29:30.
