Jeff Zucker Failed To Address Serial Sexual Misconduct At CNN And Should Be Fired Immediately

The hit to the network’s already damaged reputation and the potential legal vulnerabilities for CNN should be more than enough reason to fire Zucker immediately. 

The Federalist  "In a move more typically associated with shady politicians than a news network supposedly committed to transparency, CNN had a whopper of a news dump on Saturday night, announcing it was firing primetime news anchor Chris Cuomo.

"This followed a weeklong suspension after government documents proved his involvement in covering up the sexual misconduct of his brother, disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was much more extensive than previously known. The emails and text exchanges released by the New York attorney general’s office showed Chris Cuomo not only assisted with the public relations strategy to help his brother evade accountability, but used his relationships in the media at outlets like MSNBC and Politico – that he had gained from his job at CNN – to help him do it." . . .

. . ."Worse, why did it take nearly six months for Chris Cuomo’s employer, CNN President Jeff Zucker, to suspend his network’s star anchor? As I wrote in August, journalists should have been leading the campaign to hold Chris Cuomo accountable and CNN should have fired him immediately after his initial involvement in the coverup of sexual abuse came to light.

"Unfortunately, we know exactly why “media critics” like CNN’s Brian Stelter failed (or rather refused) to seriously investigate their colleague or comment on his misdeeds, even when they already knew of serious misconduct, and instead even chose to defend Chris Cuomo. These people, and most in their profession, could be more accurately described as lazy, partisan, and unserious rather than journalists. They are much more interested in vapid, click-bait hit jobs on Trump and Republicans than they are in holding their industry, and Democrats – which are increasingly synonymous – accountable. " . . .

The Racist of NBC News

In the case of [Joy] Reid, she is a prime wrangler for people running risk of thinking for themselves. The former blogger with a long history of homophobia and anti-Muslim posts now spends her time insisting others are destroyed because of what they say or how they look. She really is the worst of the worst.

 Townhall  "Beauty is only skin deep, but in the case of the NBC News race-baiting host ironically named Joy Reid, every bit of her is ugly. She finds race everywhere, especially when it’s not there. It’s her brand, and hate is her medium – her sculptor’s clay. She works in racism the way Van Gogh used paints or Hunter Biden uses crack, it’s where she thrives and all she brings to the table. Inside and out, Reid is the worst person on cable news, and NBC News, which employs her, Comcast, which owns NBC Universal, and every Comcast customer pays her to do it.

"In an era of “diversity officers” and other stupid, left-wing virtue signaling creations, Reid is an anomaly. Racism has always been tolerated by the left, Democrats having fostered it the entirety of that party’s existence. But it wasn’t always front and center, featured proudly on cable news, which should really drop the “news” part since none of the networks do anything but pay lip service to the concept. ". . .

That leaves you with only 2 choices: is Joy Reid stupid or a liar? The answer is yes. 

In San Francisco, they like smash-and-grabbers more than police

 San Francisco restaurant that ordered cops out is poster child for the local wokester idiocyl   "To get a sense of how a beautiful city like San Francisco could first elect a crazed leftist like Chesa Boudin, and then find itself mired in car burglaries, home break-ins, shopliftings, and smash-and-grab organized lootings, get a load of this pair if you haven't already heard of them:". . .

"Not surprisingly, that's what's on San Franciscans' minds, and the restaurant got scored on Yelp, Twitter, Instagram, and any other place where they had an internet presence.  On Yelp, there were more than 1,000 negative reviews, many from local San Franciscans and Bay Area denizens.". . .

Things have since moved on since 2020, though, and now it's organized smash-and-grab looters with no stated politics and district attorneys who carry the politics for them, under the Soros-influenced rubric of "ending mass incarceration" and "social justice."  The lootings are out of control now, and fancy restaurants are not exempt.  Just yesterday, a different San Francisco restaurant, RT Rotisserie, got sacked and trashed, with its cash register emptied out, by organized looters.

"Here's a sample from just the Yelp reviews:". . .

And yet....California Needs To Stop Its Crime Spree Before It Goes National   "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is apparently convinced that the shoplifting and smash-and-grab robberies in California are a myth. But they are real, perversely spectacular, and likely to spread across the country if they remain unchecked.

"The retail heart of San Francisco, with its abundance of luxury shops, is usually overflowing with commerce at this time of the year. Instead, it’s become a “ghost town.”

“Widespread ‘flash mob’ looting turned Union Square – the city’s most fashionable shopping district – into an area resembling a blighted neighborhood in Detroit,” Michael Shellenberger writes in a recent New York Post op-ed. "

Uh, Oh. CNN's Don Lemon's Name Just Came Up at the Jussie Smollett Trial

 PJ Media

But it’s what other things Lemon texted that may be of interest in the corner office at CNN.

Now that CNN has established a bright-line test for getting rid of its anchors — no, not for lying on the air, but using the network’s resources to help friends and family — Don Lemon might be wondering if he might be “Chris Cuomo’d.”

The CNN anchor’s name has come up in the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax trial and he might have some ‘splainin’ to do.

No one less than Jussie Smollett himself testified on Monday that he texted with the CNN anchor and the message was pivotal to his defense. Indeed, right after the “attack” on Smollett, Lemon admitted to texting the actor every day because “there’s not a lot of us out there. Sometimes he responds, sometimes he doesn’t.”, , ,

If CNN is to be impartial they need to suspend Lemon until further review, but they wont because the blow back would be huge to suspend a black gay guy. A cis white male is so much easier to discipline.. . .

This, Sadly, Is CNN  Things are so bad that Chris Cuomo’s downfall isn’t even all that surprising.  . . .

"CNN is an embarrassment. It might be the single most dishonest media entity on the planet. Even the Korean Central News Agency, the mouthpiece of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, doesn’t pretend to be objective as it blasts out propaganda to the world. But CNN does.

"None of that is news, of course. It’s been two decades since CNN gave up on attempting to be objective. They just lie and say they are these days. But what makes CNN’s corruption noteworthy is that it has branched out beyond the airwaves.". . .

Why would they care? Why would these actions be disqualifying? CNN isn’t a news organization; it’s an advocacy and propaganda shop. It exists to push narratives favored by its corporate overlords or the petty middle managers who run its newsroom. Or the pet causes of its on-air talent.

Talent? 

Don Lemon to be the next one out at CNN?

It's an outrageous break with newsroom ethics around the issue of conflicts of interest. Here Lemon was using his privileged position in the news to help a hate-crime suspect beat charges by giving him an advantage. His thumb on the scale of justice here amounted to a whopping conflict of interest.

His contract was reportedly worth $6 million annually, leaving between $18 million and $20 million that he would be owed, sources said, adding that Chris Cuomo would also likely seek damages. But CNN has “no intention of paying [Chris] Cuomo a penny,” an insider said.

Epstein, Victim Virginia Roberts Guiffre, Does Ghizlane Maxwell In: ‘She Was Pulling The Stings’ She’s A ‘Monster’

Unite America First  . . .“ 'Ghislaine was much more conniving and smart than Epstein ever was,” Giuffre said.

“ 'I know that woman. I’ve known her really well. Put it this way — Epstein was Pinocchio, and she was Gepetto.”

"Giuffre had still more choice words for Maxwell.

“ 'She is a monster. She’s worse than Epstein. She did things even worse than Epstein did. She was vicious. She was evil. And she’s a woman.”

"As things now stand, Maxwell has been accused of procuring young women for, and participating in sex crimes against them with, Epstein.

"If Roberts-Guiffre is right then it’s highly likely that Maxwell really does hold incredibly compromising evidence against a number of high-profile and powerful icons of business and politics to use as leverage as her lawyers bargain for her freedom." . . .

For every visitor who walks through the exhibits, stands over the sunken wreckage of the USS Arizona, and hears of the trials and tribulations of that Sunday morning, the story of Pearl Harbor is bound to be passed down and survive the test of time. Hopefully, at some point that knowledge will prevent a similar event from occurring.

You Heard it Here First: The Old CNN Is Dead

 This is fine, but what about MSNBC's Joy Reid, Ali Velshi, Nicolle Wallace and all others there?

Ed Sherdlu

. . ."The cause of death is not the forced departure of Chris Cuomo or Rachel Maddow’s act becoming so old she is moving to a weekly show. Nor is it that CNN’s jaundiced journalists conspired to be completely wrong about Kyle Rittenhouse, the false Russia collusion claim, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Jessie Smollett, Border Patrol whippings, and countless other “important” news stories. The reason is good old-fashioned free-market economics combined with Americans’ limited tolerance of CNN’s ultra-liberal BS (Bovine Secretions).

"Two decades ago, CNN was the news juggernaut. But since then, its viewership dropped faster than Joe Biden’s approval ratings. Media mogul John Malone just bought the sinking news ship in a fire sale and he will waste no time in cutting out the cancerous cause for CNN’s liberal-laced decline.

"To understand why Malone must drastically reshape CNN, you must understand who really decides what you watch on a news program. When watching CNN, MSNBC, or the three major entertainment networks, it is easy to blame the news anchor for the seriously slanted left-leaning coverage.

"Today’s talking heads, though, are not the main cause of the problem. They just blindly read whatever the show producers dump into their teleprompters. " . . .

Ed Sherdlu is the pen name of a former CBS television network reporter.  He uses a pen name because his mother would be so embarrassed to know that Ed's 12-Step Journalism Recovery Program had been a failure.

Cuomo vs CNN: let the games begin

 Fired CNN Host Chris Cuomo Proceeds to Spill the Tea as War of Words Escalates  . . ."But regardless of whether or not Cuomo is telling the truth about what Zucker knew, one thing that is satisfying beyond Cuomo getting his just deserts is the fact that they are both burning themselves and each other to the ground as we speak. A rather fitting position to be in for the disgraced former anchor and the network that most definitely is not a real news organization, despite their claims to the contrary."

Lawyer: Chris Cuomo accuser was disgusted by 'hypocrisy'   "A woman who lodged a sexual harassment allegation against former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was “disgusted” by what she saw as his hypocrisy and attempts to discredit women who made similar allegations against his brother, her lawyer said Sunday." . . .

The Media Inverts Reality in the Kenosha and Waukesha Cases

 Isaiah 5:20...Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who [a]substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;

Who [b]substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

 MAGA News  "I hereby nominate America’s left-wing regime media for the 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics.

"These far-left activists, masquerading as objective journalists, successfully inverted reality by 180 degrees. They turned a non-racist white teenager into a white supremacist and rendered a black bigot completely invisible.

"The original details that Americans heard about Kyle Rittenhouse were screamed loudly and swiftly, soon after he shot three men who chased and attacked him in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020. Rittenhouse killed two and injured one. This case’s “facts” bounced around and echoed each other, like subatomic particles in a media-powered linear accelerator.

•MSNBC’s John Heilemann described Rittenhouse as follows: “A white, MAGA-loving Blue Lives Matter social-media partisan, 17 years old, picks up a gun, drives from one state to another with the intent to shoot people.”

•MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called Rittenhouse an “active shooter” and “a 17-year-old kid just running around shooting and killing protesters … who drove across state lines with an AR-15 and started shooting people up.” During Rittenhouse’s trial, the Morning Joe co-host called Rittenhouse a “self-appointed militia member … unloading 60 rounds.”

• The Independent reported that Rittenhouse shot “three Black men.” . . .

Before Rittenhouse There Were Roof Koreans: How Civilians Defended Koreatown from Racist Violence During the 1992 LA Riots

Ammo.com

. . ."The Roof Koreans were spontaneous self-defense forces organized by the Korean community of Los Angeles, primarily centered in Koreatown, in response to violent and frequently racist attacks on their communities and businesses by primarily black looters and rioters during the Los Angeles Riots of 1992. Despite their best efforts, over 2,200 Korean-owned businesses were looted or burned to the ground during the riots. It is chilling to imagine how many would have suffered the same fate had the Koreans not been armed.

"Standing on the rooftops of Koreatown shops they and their families owned, clad not in body armor or tactical gear, but instead dressed like someone’s nerdy dad, often smoking cigarettes, but always on alert, the Roof Koreans provide a stirring example of how free Americans of all races can defend their own communities without relying upon outside help.

The Koreans of Los Angeles were the ultimate marginalized minority group. They were subject to discrimination and often victimized by the black community of the city. Due to language barriers and other factors, they lacked the political clout of other minority groups, such as the large Mexican community of Los Angeles County. This in spite of their clear economic success in the city beginning in the 1970s and 80s." . . .

Would today's press have treated the Koreans as they did Rittenhouse?  Joy Reid of MSNBC would be apoplectic, I'd say.
