BREAKING: CNN President Jeff Zucker is Out
The president of CNN, Jeff Zucker, is out for refusing to disclose an affair with a subordinate at the network. The same network that often claims moral superiority over conservatives through an army of fact-checkers is ruled by people at the top who think they are above the rules. Take a moment and listen:
The affair is a total misdirection play. Based on the research data I’m seeing, Zucker and his old network could be held criminally liable for disparaging the use of both ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for early stage treatment of Covid. We’ll be publishing an update if our Covid guideline shortly. CNN snd the other naysayers will have much to answer for.
Jeff Zucker's "offense" is, IMO, a rather minor thing, the affair being one between two divorced people, with no aggrieved spouses involved. I can't help but think that the powers that be at CNN seized on this as a pretext to avoid having to dismiss Zucker for the reason which sits there like the proverbial elephant in the room; namely the precipitous decline in the network's ratings, which often find it behind MSDNC, let alone Fox.
There is also one interesting fact about all this. Zucker's paramour happens to have come to CNN from employment as the communications director to then-New York governor Andrew Cuomo. Given that CNN had to fire Chris Cuomo over his unethical assisting his "Luv Gov" brother with the accusations of sexual impropriety against him, as well as similar allegations made against Chris Cuomo, one can't help but wonder if Zucker's failure to keep control over his libidinous employee and said employee's aiding his brother on the side wasn't the real reason, in addition to the ratings collapse I alluded to earlier.
Now, Chris Cuomo has filed legal action seeking to be paid the $18 million CNN refused to pay him by firing him. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that he gets the money, CNN deciding that paying him off is far better than having Chris Cuomo expose the entirety of what Jeff Zucker may have done or not done which the network would like to keep swept under the rug.
Bring your popcorn, folks; watching all the skeletons fall out of the closets of various CNN employees until CNN can get the whole thing safely behind it by paying Chris Cuomo his de facto blackmail should be great fun for all, Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld in particular will have a field day with this. It of course won't end until CNN repents and decides to become a news network rather than an arm of the DNC - which means it may never happen.
