CNN President started sleeping with CNN EVP during lockdowns

[UCFBS]

While CNN was lambasting people for hooking up with colleagues and others they weren't currently cohabitating with during the lockdowns...

That's exactly what 'Fox News doesn't deserve 1st Amendment protections' CNN President Zucker was doing with CNN Executive Vice-President Gollust.

CNN requires employees, especially executives and officers, so disclose personal relationships with employees for review, for obvious, ethical reasons in the case of officers, and Zucker did not disclose it because he knew it would neither allowed nor approved given the utter hypocrisy beyond the obvious other issues.

The affair was uncovered as part of the independent investigation recommended by the board, along with industry watchdogs, launched as part of the Cuomo situation, and brings further scruntiny to how CNN conducts itself from an integrity standpoint.

However, I don't expect a movie over the various issues like the one about Fox News. People will say that's different, but in the grand scheme of integrity and hypocrisy... not exactly.

"Jeff Zucker, a world-class sleazebag who has headed ratings and real-news-challenged CNN for far too long, has been terminated for numerous reasons, but predominantly because CNN has lost its way with viewers and everybody else," said Trump. "Now is a chance to put Fake News in the backseat because there may not be anything more important than straightening out the horrendous LameStream Media in our Country, and in the case of CNN, throughout the World. Jeff Zucker is gone—congratulations to all!"

The woman Zucker had an affair with was a Russian asset.
The affair was simply Russian propaganda.

Nobody steps down from that kind of job because of a "consensual relationship"

Well, we'll see. However, regardless, in violation of company policy, he purposely refused to disclose it for obvious reasons ...

It would have not only very troubling from an subordinate/ethics standpoint, but ...

It would have never been approved because CNN was lambasting people for 'dating' during the lockdowns, including new relationships with co-workers when you're not supposed to be at work or only at work for 'essential' needs, and he would have utterly been a total hypocrite in that regard.

I just find it utterly funny, and sad, that it's just another 'elitist' reality.

Huh…

So he’s fine with omitting the truth or lying if it benefits him? And he ran CNN?

huh…

And here come the apologists, complaining about hyperbole when it targets one of their own. Just like with Bill Clinton prior, even Hillary Clinton when it was revealed what she did to some of the women that crossed her husband.

He had a relationship with a subordinate, even if they were colleagues for 20 years. He started it during the pandemic, when he didn't have the opportunity to date outside the office. She is also caught up in the whole Cuomo thing beyond that.

As always, the appearance if impropriety is what the whole Cuomo things was about, even worse when it turned out to be true, and utterly undermined all the apologists.

That's why CNN has this whole requirement of disclosure. And just like Cuomo, he didn't hide it because he had nothing to hide. He hid it specifically because he knew the review of the disclosure would not go well, and the relationship would not be allowed.

That is the problem, and why Zucker is a standard, elitist hypocrite. "Do as I say, including how I judge you, making billions on your misery, not what I do, and don't you dare judge me."

Jeff Zucker’s CNN resignation is a scandal — but not in the way you’ve heard

There is a scandal here, but conservatives are so busy talking about sexual deviants that few people can even make it out

Nailed it (read it, it's good, not just one-sided politics)

Why is trust in media plummeting? Just look at what’s happening at CNN | Arwa Mahdawi

The fallout at CNN should be a wakeup call for everyone in media. Trust is hard to win and very easy to lose

I don't watch CNN. Not my circus ,not my monkeys. Who ever that guy is and who he decides to have relations with is his business..I don't give a crap . He has no power over me and his network is American Provda .

I don't care what happens in people's bedroom either. But ...

He violated company policy, purposely not disclosing, because he not only knew the corporate review would never approve it, but it would damage the company brand in the hypocrisy.

That's what this is all about. And a number women at CNN, like NBC prior, who have been complaining about it for awhile, are now coming forward too. In fact, several want her fired as well, because she is in a position she did not earn ...

And she did not at NBC either. That's what this is all about.
