Rolling Over Jeff Zucker
/Rolling Stone is out with a well-sourced piece on fired CNN president Jeff Zucker and how he cast journalism aside at the cable news network.
The story talks about how Zucker and former CNN comms chief Allison Gollust (also Zucker’s girlfriend) would manipulate the news.
Gollust was often in communication and advising disgraced NY governor Andrew Cuomo about how to handle situations.
Rolling Stone points out how Jeff Zucker thrust Donald Trump upon the American people and his huge role in getting Trump elected to the White House.
Zucker not only wrecked CNN, before that he cratered NBC while running that network.
The most telling quote in the story was from former Today Show EP Tom Touchet who said, “Jeff and Trump are essentially the same person — the ability to self-promote and be wildly duplicitous. They are very similar. And vindictive. They’re not gonna forget anything.”
For years, FTVLive sounded the alarm on Jeff Zucker and how he was killing CNN. This Rolling Stone story wraps it all up in a must-read about how the one-time “golden boy” is nothing more than a rusted piece of junk.
