Jeff Zucker Out At CNN!

Jeff Zucker joins Chris Cuomo in the CNN cannon.

Major shakeup at CNN. Its president, Jeff Zucker fired out the cannon after it was revealed he had an affair with a top manager. It happened as former CNN host Chris Cuomo fought for his severance package.

Cuomo was unceremoniously fired out the cannon in late 2021 after it was revealed he communicated with his brother ex-New York governor Andrew Cuomo.

Cuomo opened the lid on his old boss' relationship with CNN executive vice president.Allison Gollust.

Zucker and Gollust are an item. Both divorced their spouses. That's perfectly fine for them to have a relationship. However, the failure to disclose it to top brass and executives at WarnerMedia was the huge mistake and it was enough for the company to tell the media mogul to exit or take a cannon firing.

"As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo's tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closet colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledge the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn't. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today," Zucker wrote in a statement.

"I came to CNN on January 28, 2013. Together, we had nine great years. I certainly wish my tenure here had ended differently. But it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute. I am grateful to the thousands of incredibly talented CNN and Turner Sports employees who helped make this such a joy for me, and such a success for all of us. I wish each of you nothing but the best in the years ahead. With gratitude and much love, Jeff."

The New York Times reported that Gollust served as a communications director for the former New York governor. Gollust and Zucker knew each other for decades. They worked previously at NBCUniversal.

Thus, this was an open secret the two were dating. But Cuomo being the fredo, said he's taking bodies.

Jason Kilar, CEO of WarnerMedia said that an interim president will be appointed shortly.

"I have accepted Jeff Zucker's resignation as chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, and president of CNN Worldwide. We thank Jeff for his contributions over the past 9 years."

Brian Stelter, CNN's media correspondent also confirmed the news in the CNN newsletter.

Again, the no standards over at Fox are unbelievable. While Zucker is shown the door. The far-right is dancing on his grave. The most annoying media personality on the planet had to have a say in the matter.

Mind you, "Softball" Hannity has a controversial relationship with Washed Up 45. He shared lawyers with the former president. Michael Cohen was primarily one of those lawyers. He has a sexual harassment allegation in court. He pushed the Seth Rich conspiracy which led to a lawsuit against Fox. He is named in the Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuit. He failed to disclose he own properties. 

He has completely failed in his journalistic and ethical standards. Yet, he has the nerve to talk about the issues over at CNN and MSNBC in some "gotcha" monologue. 

Look in the mirror, Softball Hannity: You're no better than these guys! And sooner or later, you're time in the cannon will come. You fucking annoying agitator.

The biggest shock so far this year besides Betty White and Bob Saget's tragic deaths.
