The Ostensible Reason for CNN Firing Zucker Is Not the Real One
I don't believe Zucker is leaving CNN because of a ten year affair that everyone already seems to have known about. I imagine he is being pushed out because of the network's bad ratings and because of his failure to push the vaccine agenda its owners are so desperate to promote. Pointing to the affair is just an excuse and an attempt to humiliate him on the way out. Indeed, CNN might simply be using the failure to disclose the relationship as a way to fire him without having to offer him his golden parachute.
A telling piece of evidence in favor of this claim: Allison Gollust, the other half of this affair, is not being required to resign though she ostensibly violated the very same disclosure agreement Zucker did.
Post Script: So it is possible this is not being done because of Zucker’s poor performance, it might be a consequence of their firing of Chris Cuomo: Cuomo has requested discovery in his lawsuit against CNN for the payment of the remainder of his contract. It might be that the discovery process forced management to acknowledge the awkwardness
