After sleeping with staff, CNN’s President Jeff Zucker has resigned from his post. Zucker was allegedly unable to disclose the details of a “consensual relationship” between the President and a CNN employee.
“As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged 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,” the President of liberal media said in a memo shared by Brian Stelter.
The incredible irony is unbearable. While investigating one scandal at CNN regarding Chris Cuomo, yet another was uncovered. CNN is a scandal minefield, nearly impossible to walk in any direction without someone’s career being ruined.
In a statement reacting to Zucker’s resignation, 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump called the former CNN figurehead a “world-class sleazebag”. Zucker and the former President often butt-heads while Trump was in the Oval Office.
Though, Zucker and Trump do have something of a history together. Zucker, in 2000 was also the President of NBC where he introduced Trump’s reality television show, “The Apprentice” to the channel.
“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 predominately because CNN has lost its way with viewers and everybody else – 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!” Trump said in his statement.
