UPDATED: CNN President Jeff Zucker Suddenly Resigns Over Undisclosed Romantic Relationship

 What if CNN turns into a real news source? What's the fun in that?

It goes without saying that the change of leadership could have a major impact on the future of CNN.

Former President Donald Trump made Zucker’s CNN the foil for his campaign and time in the White House, and the network has lately been struggling significantly with ratings.

It is unclear who the new CNN president will be, but it will be fascinating to see if they shift the direction of the network.

Justin Trudeau on Twitter:

Today in the House, Members of Parliament unanimously condemned the antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we’ve seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. Together, let’s keep working to make Canada more inclusive.

. . .Zucker made a long-list of enemies over the years at CNN, most notable of whom is Donald Trump.  

Trump celebrated his resignation on Wednesday, saying in an emailed statement: '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 predominantly 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!' he said.

If there is any reason that viewers’ trust in the media in general and CNN, in particular, has tanked, it’s the fact that Zucker designed the network to be an opinionated network that was supposed to attract partisan consumers. It failed miserably, primarily because the personalities he chose were just diet versions of what was already offered at MSNBC. People who wanted those kinds of opinions already had a place to get them. They weren’t going to go with Lemon, who is just Rachel Maddow Lite.

. . ."Critics took to social media to blast Stelter, with some calling his complaints "laughable," and others accusing CNN of creating propaganda rather than reporting the news.". . .

 "The ‘newsroom’ that pushed 4 years of Russia collusion and ‘mostly peaceful’ protests, or downplayed stories such as covid's origins, can't figure out why people started tuning them out," wrote Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., while Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich joked that she couldn't stop laughing at Stelter's comments."

 "So Jeff Zucker's alleged paramour at CNN was Allison Gollust, CNN's executive vice president.
"Her job before that? Gov. Andrew Cuomo's comms director. "This article suggests their relationship is why CNN protected the Cuomos for so long."
