With collapsing ratings, dwindling credibility and looming questions over its very future, the last twelve months at CNN have provided a case study in unintended consequences. Which fire should the beleaguered news network put out first? Is it even trying to save itself?
Newly added to the long list of CNN President Jeff Zucker’s nightmares is a shocking ethics breach involving primetime anchor Chris Cuomo, brother of embattled Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY). After disturbing revelations that the former participated in emergency strategy sessions designed to save the latter’s sinking political career, Zucker declined to punish his line-crossing on-air talent.
In addition to historic mismanagement during the early days of the COVID crisis, where 6,300 patients were inexplicably sent to infect many more vulnerable seniors inside New York nursing homes, more than a half-dozen women have accused Andrew Cuomo of making unwanted advances and broader sexual harassment claims.
Instead of suspending or terminating Chris Cuomo, Zucker allowed the host to simply apologize and then produced a shiny diversion, the abrupt termination of on-air contributor Rick Santorum.
Did the writer just refer to Fredo and to Santorum, as, "the talent"?
CNN cares not about viewer ratings, Soros uses his influence and money to keep them on the tv to spew his and his boss’s propaganda.
Amazing how the local media refuses to cover this failure of its fake news partner CNN.
Everyone who sees a tweet or media post by a local tv news station could REMIND others of CNN’s failure to be objective.
Looming questions over its very future.
You know you suck when AT&T sell you.
