Report: CNN in Talks to Pay Chris Cuomo $9M in Hush Money to Protect Zucker, Network

CNN parent company AT&T is mulling paying $9 million to former host Chris Cuomo as a settlement over his exit and rancorous feud with the network, theNew York Postreports.

Cuomo, according to press reports, is demanding the $18 million left in his CNN contract after he was fired by network executives citing his improper role in advising his brother, then New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, over sexual harassment charges.

AT&T's consideration of a settlement comes on the heels of CNN chief Jeff Zucker's departure from the network after he failed to disclose a relationship with a female staff member.

The Post report suggests Zucker's exit was part of an effort to keep a possible Cuomo lawsuit and new, damaging allegations against CNN and Zucker from coming to light.

Wow hush money and payoffs...what administration has been accused of paying porn stars off and NDAs? Oh wait that's off topic, sorry.

I guess it's only CNN that has done that?! (Sarcasm) but I'm betting the sad state of this will result in yet another book deal for those in need more conspiracies. Whatever. There have been more book deals in The last 5 years, that I can remember in 30 years of prior political fodder. Y'all must be waiting with watering mouths for all this good juicy conspiracy meat?! Ho hum

Now people inside CNN are calling for Mr. Potato Head to be the next to go

Nolte: CNN Insiders Want Brian Stelter Fired over Zucker-Gollust Cover-Up

The calls to fire CNN Misinformation Maven Brian Stelter are coming from inside the house.

“The network needs to step up and fire Brian Stelter,” a CNN insider told the Daily Mail. “He is allegedly our top media reporter – yet he failed to report on the scoop that everyone in the office knew. And if he wants to say he didn’t know, he is truly terrible at his job.”

A cable news veteran, who wishes not to be named, spoke of the close relationship between Stelter and Zucker.

‘Brian Stelter should be calling his agent to start looking for another job,’ they said. ‘He’s been Jeff Zucker’s water boy for years and no one believes he didn’t know about all of this.’

[…]

‘He’s been sitting on his moral high horse doing Jeff’s bidding and ripping Fox and every other media outlet that Jeff tells him to while his ratings crash and burn. Where was he on the biggest story at his own network after chastising everyone else?’

I’m not sure how Stelter was supposed to report out his own boss having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. That would be a blatant act of insubordination, a violation of trust. So my issue with Stelter is not so much his silence but his willingness to service the cover-up of the affair with blatant misinformation.

We now know that the day before Radar Online broke the story of Zucker’s affair with Allison Gollust (who holds the number two spot at CNN), Stelter published a non sequitur in his newsletter attacking Radar as “nutty” and not “swayed by reality.” Here’s the full story on that.

That timing is not a coincidence.


So it’s one thing to ignore or remain silent regarding something internal. It’s quite another to service something so obviously sleazy and unethical.

As CNN’s media reporter, Stelter should have been sounding the alarm internally about how the Zucker-Gollust affair was undermining the newsroom’s integrity. If that effort went nowhere, he should have resigned on principle.

It is just a fact that the Zucker-Gollust affair poisoned everything and everyone at CNN. And while this was happening, and while Stelter knew it was happening, he not only eagerly swallowed the poison, he got on his self-righteous high-horse lecturing others about capital “J” journalism.

What you have to know is this… That before she joined Zucker at CNN in 2013 (just after Zucker took over), Gollust served as then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) communications director. From there, the dots are easy to connect. Gollust goes to work for CNN, and what happens? CNN turns itself over to advancing Andrew Cuomo’s political career. Andrew’s little corrupt brother Chris is given a morning anchor job, and after he fails there, he’s still promoted to primetime. Worse still, between 2019 and 2020, on behalf of the Jeff Zucker-Allison Gollust-Andrew Cuomo three-way, the entire network, everyone who works there, spent a whole year positioning Andrew to become president.

Everyone covered up Andrew’s scandals and sought to delegitimize his critics. Andrew was allowed to join his brother’s primetime show to burnish his image. CNN spent months and countless hours presenting Andrew to the world as America’s Governor and president-in-waiting.

If Brian Stelter had even an ounce of integrity, he would have either put a stop to this or resigned. Instead, he participated in the three-way — as did Jake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Alisyn Camerota, and the rest.

They all knew about the three-way, and they all serviced it by aiding and abetting Andrew Cuomo.

So the only thing that separates Stelter from his sleazy, ethically compromised CNN colleagues is that he’s a wafer-thin-mint away from exploding.

Other than that, the whole network is shit, is a cancer on everything journalism is supposed to stand for.

Billionaire Trump Donor Is Taking Over CNN, Says It Needs ‘Actual Journalists’

CNN's left-wing lickspittle may become a thing of the past when it is spun off to Discovery later this year.

Cable TV pioneer John Malone, a billionaire Trump donor and Discovery's largest shareholder, has said he’s eager to restore the network to impartiality.He retains a 25 percent voting share in Discovery, which will take control of WarnerMedia and its assets -including CNN - later this year.

“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 Malone. “I do believe good journalism could have a role in this future portfolio that Discovery-TimeWarner’s going to represent.”

With Jeff Zucker gone, that seems more likely than ever.Deadline reported last night that it was Malone who insisted on Zucker's departure after learning of the affair.

CNN Stelter’s "SHOULD GO" over Top-Level Affair Too - Don Lemon says "STOP Cancelling" over Whoopi Goldberg

Brain Stelter might find himself out the door for not exposing the years-long romantic relationship between the company’s former head and marketing chief. (Daily Mail citing source)

“He is allegedly our top media reporter […] yet he failed to report on the scoop that everyone in the office knew,” the source said.

Meanwhile, CNN’s Don Lemon has said... “Stop trying to cancel people.”

CNN's chaos has got those pushing to cancel being cancelled... time "to stop"?

Wow. I haven't been following this pending change of ownership. To be honest, I liked CNN (and watched more of it) back in the pre-Trump days. It would be refreshing if CNN returns to its previous impartiality. Now I understand why Chris Wallace opted to go there. He knew Zucker was on the way out.

I’d wager Wallace won’t make the cut with the new ownership. I wonder what his podcast viewership numbers are?

... I'm not sure... I haven't heard.
I didn't know his podcast started yet.

Funny thing... People call me a "know-it-all" and yet - I didn't know.

Dude I don't read half of the shit you post, it's usuay right wing garbage!
And unlike you, I could give a shit less about what that man Zucker or Mr. Toobin or anybody else is doing with thier genitalia!
My point being that nothing is ever as it appears even something involving sex, getting an executive fired or forced to retire, no that can't be it!
They are hiding something bigger!

And my comment was more to you stating there is a direct line from... I guess, CNN to the white house.
You have got to be kidding, look at what your Champ did with Fox!
They were trying to talk to him while the insurrection was going on, but he was too busy watching his cult members killing and assaulting and maiming the capitol police force, to give a shit!
And honestly I could give a shit less what rolling stone has to say either!
Get a life!

Oh and it was from Rolling Stone Magazine - you know that bastion of conservative politics

Yeah, AT&Ts spin off of its media assets may bring many more changes at CNN. Hopefully John Malone has his team flush CNN with an enema and remove all the shit that works there

Most of what you post is rage filled jibberish not even relevant to the topic at hand. So I am not dignifying it by quoting it. Just going to quote the relevant section I am responding to

Not rage bud, anger!
We are not quite at rage yet,!
And yes it pisses me off that the most unamerican Americans voted the biggest piece of shit into office that ever ran for president!

And you sit here spouting this unamerican bullshit because your an enemy of this country!
And you sit here lending aid and comfort to this this country's enemies spouting your right wing nazi garbage!
I used to think of you like Goebbles but no, Goebbles was on the side of Germany, his own country!
Your more like lord lord Haw Haw, a tratious turncoat to his country and executed at the end of the war.
I guess back then traitors were dealt with in the proper manner!
Now we allow them to continue to try to destroy democracy and denigrate the country like the orange menace is doing today!

You and the rest of the nazis in this section of the forum you the proudboys, the oath keepers, and all of those douchbags that stormed the capitol, you are a fifth column.
An enemy to this country!
You serve nothing but your self and that douchbag wanna be dictator, that you are so dedicated to that you voted into office!
.
Russia, China, they are the enemies of this country, and you are too!

I imagine that it was you that posted about the state of affairs between us and Russias relationship!
Who give a shit how Russia feel about anything, they are a olygarical, authoritarian government!
We never gave two shits as to how Putin felt about anything before Trump, but hey when someone gets you voted into office like Putin did Trump, I guess you feel beholding to him!
Trump is so beholding to Putin that be even has you feeling beholding to Putin !
So much so that you are going to worry about the state of affairs between us and a dictator well that really dose make you part of the problem!
Do you think Putin is being voted into office every few years?
Y do realize that any election ran in Russia is a sham, and the same goes for Hungary!
And I guess that you all realize that without Putin and his cyber war people chipping in you all would never have gotten douchbag into office! And don't give me that shit about how it was never proven, it was Barrs justice department, obstruct obstruct obstruct!
He didn't draw the line in till Trump wanted to take the Voting machines and all of the other bannana republican bullshit Trump wanted to do!
Remember when Regan, a great anerican president called Russia the evil empire,
He was right and nothing has changed!

We are a at least for the time being a functioning democracy!
Something that bothers the shit out of Putin and apparently you too!
See you all talk about democracy,for now!
Victor Orban is not a Democrat Hungary is no longer a functioning democracy.
But you all think he the greatest thing since sliced bread!
And once your side has its way, elections here will be a sham just like Hungary!
And Berry don't you dare talk to me about rage, you should reread some of your own posts, you can cut the hate with a knife!
I shed blood for this country, and what have you done beside try to destroy it?
Someone should have shot gengrich, he's the one that started all of this shit, and I see that douchbags has just become nastier over time!
Shame on every fucking one of you!
