Maybe AT&T (CNN's parent company) was getting a little tired of all the BS at CNN

Something's going on. Front page of today's Wall Street Journal announced that AT&T is spinning off Warner, with shareholders getting 24 cents for every share they hold. 24 cents seems pretty far down into the dumps, IMHO.

not just "close" colleague, "closest"




brian stelter: the relationship is with Allison Gollust, the chief marketing officer for CNN. Gollust is remaining at CNN.

"I was wrong"

Yeah, when a leftist says "I was wrong" they mean "Fuck, I got caught and can't lie my way out of it!"

They can never be wrong. Everyone knows that.

Travis and Sexton are speculating that Zucker was already in a relationship with her and that's why he hired her. And that's the real corporate no no.

Gollust came to CNN in 2013 when she left NBC, where she and Zucker had previously worked together for 15 years.

Matthew Belloni: Potentially important: I’m told CNN received a litigation hold letter recently from Chris Cuomo lawyers, demanding, among other things, preservation of all communications between Zucker, comms chief Allison Gollust, and Andrew Cuomo. Andrew ??

Jon Nicosia: Source: The upcoming Cuomo/CNN lawsuit is going to expose "a lot of dirty laundry on the workings of CNN" Based on my source, Cuomo was "very good at keeping emails". A second source within Warner/Discovery wants this to be "settled" before they take over next year.

Source: Chris Cuomo "has damaging audio of discussions with Jeff Zucker."

These are two tweets from a guy I follow there by the name of Benny Johnson:

Hearing some incredible inside info about what is really happening at CNN right now — holy shit

The whole diseased temple is coming down.

Zucker is one in a long series of dominoes.

It’s about to get much, much worse

I'll believe it when I see it. Those kinds of predictions have a very strong tendency to go nowhere at all.

People love being dramatic and this is especially true when they can behave as if they know something the rest of us don't.

"Incredible inside information." Don't get me wrong I would like CNN gone but I do not care who is screwing who in the newsroom.

Nov 2021

There’s a place for CNN in the proposed $43 billion combination of WarnerMedia and Discovery, billionaire media mogul John Malone told CNBC in a recorded interview that aired Thursday.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” said the cable TV pioneer and longtime chairman of Liberty Media, which is a major shareholder in Discovery. “I do believe good journalism could have a role in this future portfolio that Discovery-TimeWarner’s going to represent.”

Back in May, AT&T announced a deal to combine its content unit WarnerMedia with Discovery. Under the agreement, AT&T will unwind its $85 billion acquisition of TimeWarner, which closed just about three years ago and form a new and separate media company with Discovery. It will bring together AT&T-owned CNN, HBO and the Warner Bros. studio and Discovery’s channels, including Animal Planet, TLC and its namesake Discovery Channel. At the time of the announcement, the parties had said they hoped to close the transaction in the middle of next year.

“A coward’s way out would be to sell [CNN] or spin it off and then sell it,” Malone said, in response to a question from CNBC’s David Faber on whether the cable news network would fit into the video streaming ambitions of the merged company, which will be named Warner Bros. Discovery.

Shortly after the WarnerMedia-Discovery merger was initial announced, Malone told CNBC at the time that he sees the combined company becoming the No. 3 global streamer behind Netflix and Disney+.

Is Cuomo trying to justify his covering for his snake brother (or brother snake) by using Zucker?

If it wasn’t so pathetic, it would be funny.

Oh and 18 mil severance? Damn.

What a cesspool. No wonder they identify with Leftists.

I wonder if Don Lemon and the serial masturbator are next to go?

Lemon has allegations against him too and they should have never hired that jerkoff back, what a complete joke and lack of morals those people have.

So, how long has Zucker been cornholing Stelter?

Well, until they sort their shit out...

One of my favorite quotes seen today:

"Looks like Jeffery Toobin was the only CNN employee who could keep his hands to himself"

The fact that Jeffy Jackoff still has a job tells you everything you need to know about that whorehouse.

The mental image of Stelter’s eyeballs bulging cartoonishly with every Zucker thrust is making me lol
