You broke my heart. You broke my heart.

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.

But I think there’s a good ‘go woke, go broke’ lesson here wrapped up around corporate takeovers:

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.

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.”
