Failing Up?

When Jeff Zucker took charge of NBC, they cratered in the ratings.

He went to CNN and quickly the cable news channel went straight to the ratings basement.

You would think with a resume like that, the guy should be flipping burgers somewhere?

But, NBC writes that Zucker’s rise in the media industry may not be over yet.

Zucker, the president of CNN, is now the leading — if not the only — internal candidate being considered to become chief executive of WarnerMedia, the new conglomeration owned by AT&T that includes Warner Bros., HBO and Turner Broadcasting, according to five high-level WarnerMedia sources.

I’m telling you, this guy is like a cockroach and despite failing over and over again, he seems to keep getting offered bigger jobs.

This guy has turned CNN from a news leader to a punchline and now he’s being looked at for a promotion. And some people wonder what is wrong with the media industry?
