Yikes, CNN is in it DEEP and Chris Cuomo plans to air out all the dirty laundry on the corrupt network. In a robust $125 million lawsuit Cuomo says that it’s a lie, that CNN was clueless about him helping his brother, creep, Andrew Cuomo, with his sexual harassment allegations.
That wasn’t surprising but the lawsuit goes on to name names… and OH! Did Cuomo burn his bridges!
Jeff Zucker Allison Gollust:
“CNN has a long-established pattern and practice of selectively enforcing its policies based on cynical calculations of public perception. Indeed, CNN fostered a culture in which “exceptions” to the network’s standards and practices were routinely sanctioned, and that culture began at the top with Zucker and Gollust. As long as CNN’s ratings would not be hurt, Zucker and Gollust were more than willing to overlook major transgressions by CNN personalities such as Don Lemon and Jake Tapper, or even to engage in blatant misconduct themselves.”
Jake Tapper:
“In another troubling incident, Fox News reported on September 10, 2020 that CNN anchor Jake Tapper had repeatedly urged Congressional candidate Sean Parnell not to run against Rep. Conor Lamb, but to run in a “safer,” more heavily Republican district. Tapper reportedly repeated this advice in a phone call, text messages, and direct Twitter messages, one of which Fox News obtained and published. After the story broke, Tapper reportedly reached out to Parnell repeatedly asking him to make a joint statement to clear Tapper’s name of this obvious breach of journalistic ethics. CNN conducted no inquiry and imposed no disciplinary measures on Tapper.”
Don’t forget Cuomo’s best buddy, DOn Lemon:
“For example, in November 2021, CNN anchor Don Lemon was widely criticized for a flagrant breach of journalistic ethics when actor Jussie Smollett testified at trial that Lemon had texted him to warn him that Chicago police did not believe Smollett’s allegations of suffering a racist, homophobic attack. Lemon had covered Smollett’s accusations and his subsequent investigation and prosecution, so intervening in the ongoing investigation by texting Smollett was an inexcusable breach of ethics. Yet CNN did nothing; Lemon was not disciplined in any way.”
The lawsuit even talks about creepy Jeff Toobin, the legal analyst who was caught on camera masturbating on a zoom call with his coworkers.
Cuomo also claimed that Zucker and Gollust used him for his connection to his brother, then Gov Andrew Cuomo:
“During the time when Gov. Cuomo’s appearances on Cuomo’s program were creating significant value for the network, CNN, through executives Zucker and Zucker’s second-in-command, Allison Gollust (“Gollust”), made a concerted effort to cement and strengthen the network’s ties to Gov. Cuomo and his administration and control his media presence for CNN’s exclusive benefit. CNN pushed Gov. Cuomo not to appear on other networks, intimating that not honoring CNN’s request might threaten Cuomo’s professional standing with the network.”
That relationship was such that Zucker and Gollust were able to pick the times when Andrew Cuomo would interview to allighn the times to boost ratings:
“CNN, through Zucker and Gollust, also requested that Gov. Cuomo hold his daily COVID-19 press conference at a time that was most suitable for the network based on its program schedule and when its ratings were weakest.”
The lawsuit also says that Zucker and Gollust, who suddenly stepped down from their positions as CNN, played advisor to Gov Cuomo. Imagine the leverage they must have had. Imagine the nature of that kind of relationship.
I don’t think anyone can argue now about CNN being a political weapon and not a genuine news organization. Russia and China have state TV—The US has CNN. A network for the Democrat regime.
