No doubt most of you have seen the news already, and laughed yourselves absolutely silly in the process. For the two men and a dog who, like me, tend to be a bit thick, rather busy, and only interested in the news when we are bored out of our gourds, this comes as a bit of a hilarious shock. For those of us in the cheap seats – Jeff Zucker just got cucked out of his job, because, ostensibly, he was boning one of his underlings:
Rumors have swirled around Zucker for some time. Earlier this month, there were reports that Zucker and Gollust were “involved in a clandestine romance dating back years.”
The report added, “The alleged affair is said to have begun while the pair was both married: Zucker to wife Caryn and Gollust to husband Billy.”
Zucker took over as CNN chief in 2013 and quickly drove the once-respected cable news outlet into the ground by moving the network to the extreme left, which included the embracing of countless conspiracy theories and barrels of misinformation: the Russia Collusion Hoax, the Covington Kids, “Hands Up; Don’t Shoot,” among countless others.
Even more disturbing is how Zucker twisted CNN into a corporate media outlet that openly embraced political violence against the right and encouraged riots in predominantly black neighborhoods.
In the arena of credibility, the results were catastrophic. In the arena of ratings, after an anti-Trump sugar high, CNN watched its viewership collapse as much as 90 percent to humiliating lows that would have seemed impossible pre-Zucker. As of this writing, CNN’s primetime averages only a little more than 500,000 viewers.
What’s more, this is just the latest in a litany of unsavory sex scandals to hit the basement-rated outlet. Before he was fired, Chris Cuomo admitted to grabbing a colleague’s butt. CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin was caught masturbating on a work Zoom call. CNN suspended him and then, incredibly, allowed him to return. Two CNN producers are implicated in sex crimes involving children. The first, John Griffin, is charged with trolling underage girls for sex. The second was a producer for Jake Tapper’s basement-rated show.
On top of all that, CNN anchor Don Lemon has been credibly accused of a sexual assault and remains on the air, despite a viewership that regularly dips below 500,000.
The ongoing sex scandals at CNN are of no surprise to anyone who understands human nature. For years, this misinformation outlet has puffed itself up as morally pure and demonized those who it saw as falling short. Generally, people who behave in this way are covering up their own misdeed in a cloak of self-righteousness.
There is only one proper and correct response to that:
Now, let’s be clear about one thing.
Jeff Cucker did not lose his job because he was playing the rather enjoyable game of hide-the-sausage with a mistress. Apparently, that has been the worst-kept secret in the entire whorenalist industry for years. Both Cucker and his moosetress evidently committed adultery, and then divorced their respective spouses (what’s the proper plural for “spouse”? “Spice”?), and continued to shack up after that.
By modren standards, shockingly low as they are, this isn’t even newsworthy. There is literally nothing here to be outraged about. Cucker wasn’t pleasuring himself over a Zoom call. He wasn’t grabbing a subordinate’s ass in plain view of everyone else. He wasn’t propositioning or abusing children. He was simply a consenting adult, boinking another consenting adult.
Reprehensible as that behaviour is, it’s hardly extraordinary. It sure as shit ain’t worth firing one of the most powerful men in the American (((media)))))))). If it were, then Joe Scarborough and his mistress/co-anchor/now-wife, MIka Whatsername, would have been out the door on their fat duffs years ago.
So Cucker clearly didn’t get canned because of his personal life. There is a lot more to this story, which we will only learn in the coming days.
The most likely explanation, as noted by virtually every host on Fox News last night, is that “Fredo” Cuomo is wreaking bloody vengeance upon his former employer, by threatening to dish out some serious dirt, unless those who “wronged” him are themselves fired:
So what, exactly, is going on? I suspect that the truth is much darker and more terrible than any of us can, or should, imagine.
The core lesson here is that those who scream the loudest and most piously about “justice” and “equality” and “racism”, are themselves the absolute worst hypocrites.
This is why you should simply switch off the mainstream American (((media)))))))) They are the absolute worst kinds of liars. Whatever they tell you, on ANY subject, is a full 180 degrees opposed to the truth.
Seriously, if ANYONE who works at CNN tells you that the sky is blue, assume that he is lying his ass off, and stick your head out the window to check.
There used to be a time when serial liars would be birched in the streets. I say we should bring back such a noble punishment – First Amendment be damned, it plainly isn’t working anymore.

I stole this from a forum post, but at this point, if CNN reported that an alien invasion was happening, I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw grays walking across my front lawn. This couldn’t happen to a nicer person or company.
It’s my opinion that Fox News, despite its current status as an SJW skinsuit, was what finally broke the American media establishment. They had been steadily slouching left since the progressive era (Walter Duranty, hiding FDR’s polio, and I’m sure all the proven Communist infiltration from the Venona project didn’t help) but always claimed they were “unbiased” despite jealously enforcing a center-left Overton window. Once Fox News came out and started actually reporting both sides of a story, and not just those which were favorable to the left or unfavorable to the right, the lefty medial lost their collective minds. They figured “fine, if Fox News is openly right-wing (which they honestly weren’t, they just didn’t filter the news through a lefty lens), we can be openly left-wing too.” It’s exactly the same as Trump ripping all the masks off of the cuckservatives.
Nowadays Fox News is best summed up by an Ace of Spades comment:
“Fox News is a curious case. Their product is shit. It has always been shit. Even in context of the rest of our execrable cable news media, it’s of noticeably lower quality.
Their people are so low-grade, that I’m surprised they can finish complete sentences between Crossfit sessions and appointments with the hair stylist. It’s like the cable news version of Balls’ Models from Zoolander.
But they’ve been #1 for quite awhile, on the strength of precisely one strategy: being the only right-of-center news outlet in the United States.
Rupert Murdoch rightly perceived that he could serve up the very thinnest of gruel – a thoughtless, cheap, trashy product – and make a gazillion dollars by serving a yuuuuge and utterly ignored mass-market.
And they are knifing that golden goose right in the neck. It’s bewildering.”
This is hilarious and couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of people.
But I think there’s a good ‘go woke, go broke’ lesson here wrapped up around corporate takeovers:
https://nypost.com/2022/02/01/att-to-spin-off-warnermedia-in-43b-discovery-deal/
ATT is selling warner media. That includes CNN. These Discovery/FoodNetwork/TLC/Animal Planet guys do one thing well: Make money with crap TV that is just not as crappy as the rest of boomer cable.
And they ain’t buying CNN or HBO to loose money on it. CEO David Zaslav is a known head capper.
Zucker is getting out now with the most dignity he can in his world: ‘CAUGHT’ banging a MARRIED GROWN WOMAN, of all things, .(For these guys thats bonus points, because they are slime.)
Zucker is not leaving on the most shameful of all things: Dying ratings and destroyed viewership.
They’ll leave Toobin out to dry for that.
Who knew that Zucker was a gnome? Fredo is not that smart to orchestrate these happenings. It seems with new management onboard, and Zucker sucking at his job, it was time to make a change. The fact that he was banging the hired help is just the smoke management needed. More cleaning house will happen there in the coming months. Discovery Communications may produce boomer tv, that sucks, but they make money and expect to make money with their properties. CNN hasn’t made money in years, it’s a loss leader.
Sheeeit. This was about money.
Fredo got fired in December for conflicts of interest and his puff pieces with his bubba Andy the former NY Gov. Fredo goes, “I’m smaaahhht! I can run things! And I got $18 million left on my CNN contract! I wants paid!”
So he goes to his old boss Cucker and says “either give me the cash you owe me, now, or I’m gonna tell on you! Yeah, that you’ve been porking your underling for the last decade or so and you’ve gotten her every job she’s ever had. Can you say “conflict of interest”? Yeah, I thought you could. Just pay me my $18 mil and I’ll be on my way.”
Cucker says “cuck you.”
Fredo says “OK then, war it is. If I’m going down, I’m taking CNN – and you and Allison – down with me. I’m going to burn this whole f***ing place to the ground.”
“Hey, media contacts. Guess what?”
This is about money. Revenge, sure. But it’s about money.
It’s also about the fact that Jeff Zucker is a spineless coward and Fredo is a little bitch.
(Fredo is the perfect moniker for Chris Cuomo – the weak, incompetent, talentless, dimwitted brother always living in the shadow of his more intelligent, stronger, and more capable siblings. And who wails like a bitch when he doesn’t get what he wants or when he gets caught.)
Little bitch.
It was you, Fredo. I know it was you.
You broke my heart. You broke my heart.
