CNN President Jeff Zucker resigns over undisclosed relationship with colleague
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | February 2, 2022 | JEREMY BARR

Posted on 02/02/2022 9:42:06 AM PST by PittsburghAfterDark

CNN President Jeff Zucker announced to his staff Wednesday morning that he is resigning immediately from his role at the cable news network, which he has led since January 2013.

Zucker said in a statement that his decision stemmed from him not disclosing a “consensual relationship” with his “closest colleague” when it first began.

“I certainly wish my tenure here had ended differently,” he wrote. “But it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute.”

Zucker oversaw all of WarnerMedia’s live programming, including all divisions of CNN and Turner Sports. That includes CNN, CNN International, HLN and CNN’s digital properties.

I guess she would do in a pinch. Not horrible looking. Not great looking either.

Sounds too convenient, too quick, and Zucker is making himself out to be some kind of hero ... sounds like he’s looking for a semi-valid excuse to run

that means either (a) Zucker knew he was about to be fired, or (b) there’s something worse brewing that he doesn’t want anyone to find out about

I’m going with (b) ... and predicting CNN will never investigate

Gollust

What an interesting name for someone who has been sleeping with her boss for years.

I made the same point earlier. Seems like Zucker could have weathered this storm. It was a consensual relationship. Could be more to this behind the scenes.

Maybe Zucker was becoming a problem for the Deep State and he was made an offer he couldn’t refuse.

I don't know much about her.

(Other that she appears to be not especially, ummm, choosy)

According to a New York Times article dated sometime in 2012, Gollust was the executive vice president of corporate communications at NBC Universal when Jeff Zucker was its chief executive.

How did the Cuomo investigation jump to Zucker?

Did Cuomo decide to take everyone down with him?
