ICHEOKU says when you think that it is only spreading fake news that is CNN's problem, a workplace-incestuous relationship between a boss and his underling has cost the boss his job and is quaking the already weakened foundation of the network. He was the boss and the rule against workplace dating did not apply to him; and how many employees would have risked it all by rejecting such an indecent proposal?
It is either the rule only exists for the lesser mortals at CNN and the boss is always right and can do whatever the heck he wants, or that he took advantage of the double standards which is always available only to the woke leftist liberal nutjobs, by knowingly breaking the rule, believing that nothing will happen to him. Unfortunately, Jeff Zucker did not know that an incensed Chris Cuomo could be more furious than a woman scorned and hell put together. The privately held information leaked and Jeff Zucker's headship of CNN is now history, as he begged to be allowed to fall on his own sword rather than be killed by another's sword and resigned.
How would those former President Donald John Trump's famous liner "You're fired" have sounded in his ears? Thankfully, he was spared the bullet of such dishonor and he went out with his golden parachute still intact, unlike Chris Cuomo who was disgracefully fired from the network by Jeff Zucker himself. Chris Cuomo must be laughing himself lame at what happened to the once seemingly untouchable CNN president, who fired him, forgetting that he too held his job at another boss discretion. Why was Allison Gollust not forced out as well, afterall both of them broke the rule. She also has admitted that Jeff did not make her do it and that she is not a victim.
She blames it on coronavirus lockdown and you wonder what the lockdown had to do with it when they were supposed to be observing the nationwide lockdown like the rest of us. Instead they were busy messing around and getting some, unafraid of contracting the contagion and transferring it to each other through bodily fluids. Unlike the other CNN exposed personality, Jeff Toobin, who was caught on a Zoom meeting helping himself with masturbation, this duo felt that there is nothing like the real thing and braved all the risks just to be getting some, while everyone else was quarantining because the CDC ordered it.
Call it the revenge of the Cuomo Brothers of the now defunct CNN Comedy Central. The junior Cuomo who is still smarting that he was fired by Jeff Zucker decided to take his pound of flesh and leaked an insiders-only known CNN's secret that the boss was dating a staffer. It is also possible that his lawyers ran into the information while carrying out a private investigation, preparatory to their client's case against CNN and Jeff Zucker, who refused to pay Chris his severance package after firing him.
Jeff Zucker was so full of it that he sees himself as the capo de tutti of American politics. He once wondered out aloud how former President Donald John Trump won the presidency without his CNN's approval and support. His fate was sealed by corporate power play as the long knives came out disemboweling everyone who had wronged people in higher places. First, Jeff took out Chris, then Kilar took out Jeff, Zaslav would have taken out Kilar if not that Kilar has, for all intent and purpose, already been taken out as his position will be redundant as soon as the deal reached by CNN's owner Warner's parent company AT&T to let Disney have the failing network is finally in place.
CNN sucks; FakeNews CNN; Cesspool News Network; LGBTQ's proven ground Network are some of the legacies which Jeff Zucker will be leaving for CNN. His hyper-partisan leadership reduced the once world famous breaking news source into a coven for ultra biased leftist pinheads who regularly offload their idiocy on the public. In fact CNN has become simply unwatchable except if you are part of the tunnel-opinionated woke far left crowd who relish the fantasy they dish out, while stifling true free speech.
Jeff Zucker(berg) should have been fired a long time ago, and not allowed to resign now, for screwing up CNN so badly. The CNN of Bernard Shaw, Peter Arnett, the then Christiane Amanpour and of course the original Anderson Cooper version 1.0, before he became the too gay and too woke Anderson Cooper 2.0, is the CNN viewers want back but which Jeff Zucker drove into the gutter of acute liberalism that it is very difficult for people to watch now. The network moved away from revolving full 360 degrees to now just swiveling back and forth, like a parking meter, within 180 degrees.
Watching CNN today, who would believe that people like Pat Buchana once had a show on the network. So, CNN's parting ways with Jeff Zucker is not a loss, talkless of it being an "incredible loss"; it is a blessing if only the incoming leadership would harness the provided opportunity to reposition the network. The other loose talk that they are "two consenting adults" is irrelevant because the last time ICHEOKU checked, Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton were also both "consenting adults" when the blue dress happened. The issue is that such workplace philandering is not allowed and they went afoul of the standing policy. The only outstanding issue now is why Allisia Gollust hasn't been fired since she has refused to resign as well.
Hopefully, whoever Disney brings in as the new helmsman or woman, will dust up the old play book of CNN and bring the network back to where it used to be, closer to the center, such that every American will once see the network as a news outfit and not a liberal leftist woke, Democratic Party's megaphone. CNN needs drastic changes in their lineup as people are tired of the bullcrap the incumbent talking heads are feeding them which has made many stop tuning in. Better still, if they believe they have evolved into something entirely different and want to stay their present course, they should drop the NEWS in their name and just make it a network.
Again, it shows that the only safe secret one has is that which no one else knows about. The good Omertà law states that two people can only keep a secret when one of them is dead. The revenge of Chris Cuomo as he used his former close friendship to Jeff Zucker to now disadvantage him, and Jeff must be feeling exactly how Julius Caesar felt many centuries ago about Brutus. If it didn't come out, they would have still kept it under wraps because they knew that what they were doing was wrong and against CNN's workplace policy, but they carried on anyway. They can spare the people all the crappy "regrets" for "not disclosing" that they were in an amorous relationship contrary to the company's standing rule.
Jeff Zucker should also know that Chris Cuomo too, wished that his tenure at CNN had ended differently too. It is called fate and human beings have no ability to foretell their future. When he fired Chris Cuomo he never knew that this day would come when he too would beg his own boss to please not to fire him, but to grant him the decency and honor of resignation. Anyway, the outlook for CNN is already gloomy, but we shall see how it fares under the new Disney take over; hopefully the new owners will do what is needed to resuscitate the comatose former News Network and bring it back to its game. So long Jeff, sayonara!
