Jeff Zucker resigns from CNN

He was leaving shortly anyway and announced his departure almost a year ago as far as I'm aware of .

Not all sure from the reporting why a consensual relationship with a colleague is resigning matter , albeit few facts behind the story are known at this stage.

Chris Cuomo's shenanigans are a completely different matter and was appropriately shown the exit door .

I think it was more a lack of disclosure rather than a lie so to speak

This comes on the back of some very weird sexual misconduct exposed recently of their anchors and producers, some involving child grooming

Do tell?

Is he the guy that realised Trump was ratings gold and then gave him disproportionate coverage prior to 2016?

Well said Donny

CNN is indeed utterly crap nowadays. All they seem to have on is panel discussions or monologues. And before anyone says Fox does as well, well yes but CNN didn't used to be like this, it was a reputable news channel worth popping into now and again.

It's quite surprising how many Irish people watch CNN given how bad it is.

American news is about panels, the so called panelisation of news. It's no longer about journalism.

And those that want to blame Fox for this madness are incorrect. CNN began this process in the late 1980s and gave ridiculous wall to wall coverage to the OJ Trial in 1995, similar to their Trump coverage. Wall to Wall rubbish.

I'd say Ted Turner (Original CNN founder) is probably laughing his ass off as the Americans say. Most of the media personalities in that region will know each other, no surprising then that he can't lie his way out of that, the gutter press will eat him alive.

In other US media news Whoopi Goldberg got off lightly with a 2 week suspension.

• Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage

Rags like that really do rely on the remedial understanding of their average reader.

The Jeff Zucker-led cable news network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of Jan. 3 — a major drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to Nielsen ratings. 

The year-ago ratings were jolted by the left-leaning network’s coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980

So much more people tuned to CNN when the capital building was being overrun with violent rioters live on TV then they did a year later when nothing of the sort was happening.

Quite the scoop there. 😂

john malone is going to shake things up big time at cnn once the deal is completed.

Yeah it's completely messed up. In the US you are supposed to disclose these things but in Ireland, apparently it's in breach of regulations to do so!

You get dragged into HR and they start going on and on and on about privacy. I try to tell them that I was just disclosing my brief relationship with the new secretary after last Fridays after-work drinks. But oh no, apparently they now brought in an official rule that you're not allowed to disclose it to your employers. Apparently typing up the details and printing off flyers and putting them on all the noticeboards and sending one to everyone via internal mail "isn't the appropriate way to do it".
