CNN staffers are rallying behind their colleague Christiane Amanpour, who offered a blistering criticism of their network's Trump town hall, undermining their boss Chris Licht, who continues to stand behind the TV special. Her tweet was also shared by anchor Kristie Lu Stout and senior producer Eliza Mackintosh. CNN'S ANDERSON COOPER OBLITERATED BY LIBEREALS OVER ‘PATHETIC’ TRUMP TOWN HALL SERMON: ‘HOW CONDESCENDING’Despite the hostility the CNN chief has been facing by employees and external critics alike in the wake of the Trump town hall, Licht has found support from his own boss, Warner Bros.
