Saw that the CNN statement did contain this tidbit -

“While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light.”

So then the question becomes, was Zucker protecting Cuomo? Somebody within CNN was already complaining, and Zucker did nothing ... that’s CNN in a nutshell, right there - the network that screamed endlessly about Donald Trump being a rapist does nothing when one of their own employees is being abused

CNN’s “management” is totally incompetent!!

“I wonder if he will still support the CNN hosts or will he tell the truth about how they LIE. We shall see where his loyalties lie.”

CNN is a frightened company. The reason Cuomo was suspended instead of being fired was to test the water. Would CNN be targeted by the woke crowd? If so, they’d “review” the suspension and bring him back. But, the suspension was widely heralded by both left and right. Therefore, it was the right move and CNN fired him outright. So, call it a trial balloon firing.

While it’s possible Cuomo will act like a jilted wife and speak out in order to hurt CNN, it won’t be because he doesn’t believe in the biased way they report the news. It will be because his pride was wounded, and he wants to strike back at them. People like Cuomo don’t have loyalties. Loyalty is for the surfs, the peasants, NOT the elite. People should be loyal to THEM, not the other way around.

The people who fired him also need to fire themselves.

I guess the copies Journalistic Code of Ethics in circulation are so covered in mud, muck, and other forms of BS that they are impossible to read.

The Society of Professional Journalists has a Code of Ethics

I found a copy of it.

It just had three words:

"Don't get caught!"

Doesn’t CNN do this kind of stuff all the time for people like Biden, his son Hunter, the Clinton foundation, etc.?

No problem. Another network will sign him. They probably had it worked out before they “fired” him. The System takes care of its own. It is like football coaches. Before they are fired, they have another job awaiting.

It’s really just a matter of slow movement toward public rehabilitation. Sometimes it’s faster (like with Spitzer, and Brian Williams), sometimes slow and gradual, but all of it is all about PR.

I think Cuomo will wind up teamed up with Lauer, with guest correspondents like Dan Rather, Cenk Uygur, and Baghdad Bob. Couldn’t be worse than Keith Olbermann.
