The question is this: The right have been told for years and years by Fox News how CNN is evil. Does Licht think he can get them to change their mind when that's all they've heard for years--and unless they can get Tucker Carlson to join them and maybe Hannity or Ingraham? I'll bet that if Carlson joined them tomorrow, the right would be calling him a traitor.
And let this be said: If Licht is so right wing, why did he stay with Colbert so long? As much as us in the group didn't like what he did to the Late Show, it still has to be said that Colbert wasn't a ratings hit on CBS until LIcht took over. It's not exactly like Republicans came flocking to guest on Colbert when he was a hit (and is--"Gutfeld!" is only successful in the ratings when everybody else is on vacation or on strike, plus he's on at 11 and has the built-in advantage of viewers who leave the TV on Fox News all day and won't switch unless Meemaw wants to watch Andy Griffith reruns on MeTV).
