Because it is an institutional problem with CNN and further exposes CNN as not being a legitimate news channel that deserves to be taken seriously. Zucker used his platform to peddle disinformation. There is also the fact that it impacted a host of his decisions running the network. For example:
To those confused why Zucker’s affair w/an employee is a big deal: In essence he was sleeping w/her while promoting her up the ranks over other qualified folks. And he made her an EVP w/o disclosing any of it. That is an issue
That she worked for Andrew Cuomo, who CNN raised to exalted heights, is a problem
That Zucker protected Chris Cuomo for years because of this relationship
That Zucker employed multiple pedophiles at CNN
That Zucker protected a number of other CNN anchors, including one who intimidated and covered-up sexual abuse victims and another who has had sexual assault claims made against him
That Zucker still employs a serial public masturbator
And in the end - remember, Zucker didn't resign because he was banging some subordinate. He resigned to prevent some far worse stuff from coming out
