CNN chief Jeff Zucker says Chris Cuomo ‘deserved termination’

CNN president Jeff Zucker told the network’s staffers on Tuesday morning that former host Chris Cuomo “deserved termination” and won’t be paid any severance, according to reports.

During a town hall-style meeting, Zucker also called Saturday’s firing of the “Cuomo Prime Time” star “a lesson we have all learned from,” the Wrap reported.

Zucker said Cuomo’s secret efforts to help his brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, battle sexual harassment allegations violated CNN’s standards and practices in a way that went “too far and deserved termination,” the website said.

Zucker also said Chris Cuomo won’t receive any money toward the remainder of his reported $6 million-a-year contract, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Like an octopus, Deep State has many limbs, and will not hesitate to shed one to save the whole. No one is irreplaceable.

Cuomo’s going to have a tough time making that kind of money in the future. Although the left does ignore these things he apparently did so he’ll be working again somewhere. ....in time.

He’ll probably write a book and hope for a movie.

And too think who’s in charge of all these shenanigans, Jeff Zucker. This fish is rotten at its head.

They knew all about the Cuomos last year when they were media darlings and the Numero Uno media Anti-Trumpers.

Yes, totally disgusting. Not that she was as bad as Chrissy/Fredo pre-Trump’s first debate, but Megyn Kelly made 8 million a year at Fox and Fox offered her 20 million to stay; NBC gave her 69 million for 3 years, let her go after a year and a half with the balance of her contract (good only in screwing NBC). The money is insane that these people make.

Zucker would not do this unless Cuomo was a large liability.

There must be powerful interests in NY aligned against Andrew Cuomo that were looking into CNN’s connections via Fredo, hence the big talk from the head CNN putz himself.

What was the too far part? It can’t be for going after private citizens (see Sandman). It can’t be indecent (Toobin). We know it can’t be lying (see all of CNN). What exactly was the too far part.

They picked them as sacrificial lambs, albeit wolves in sheep’s clothing, to cover for all the rest of cnn’s liars, to make themselves feel self righteous.
Btw, Tucker says he’s heard Zucker’s going to get the ax
We’ll see.

“too far”

A client is entitled to “zealous” representation by his lawyer I believe.

“secret”

It comes with attorney-client privilege.
