Power corrupts and leftist media power corrupts in sick, sexually perverse ways

February 3, 2022 By Andrea Widburg 

In 1980, Ted Turner, a visionary no matter what else you think of him, launched the Cable News Network, the first 24-hours-a-day news show. Although we’ve since learned that most people in the media going back at least as far as the 1960s were leftists, they mostly played it straight. You could rely on CNN. When Jeff Zucker became CNN’s president, however, he decided to make it a partisan outlet, which worked to CNN’s benefit during the Trump years. With Trump gone, CNN is collapsing and, not only are the rats getting fired, but we’re also discovering that they are disgusting, perverse, unprincipled rats.

I don’t need to tell you what a cesspool CNN has been in terms of “news.” It’s been a cheerleader for every piece of garbage the media has generated, whether it was pro-Obama, anti-Trump, pro-Russia-hoax, pro-Biden, pro-Fauci, pro-lockdowns, pro-vaccine mandates, or any other piece of fake news that the Democrat class has needed in order to advance its power over American politics.

However, I was really struck by a tweet from Nicholas Fondacaro because it illustrates how, when people feel so insulated by power that they have no boundaries at all, they lapse into the worst kind of moral corruption—and CNN had way too much power for way too long:............To Read More...

My Take - There's more to this Jeff Zucker story that's not being covered in my opinion.  

• First, this wasn't any secret tryst.
  
• Second, this was two consenting adults who decided to violate their vows of fidelity to their mates, and it destroyed their marriages.  
• Third, and here's the real story in my opinion, there's a new owner of CNN, and it's my view Zucker is a absolutely arrogant jerk, and he's an incompetent lefty. 
• Fourth, just like Biden doubles down on his failed policies, he was going to ignore the new owners instructions and double down on his stupid policies, and the owners weren't going to put up with him.

This was they way out to get rid of him, and since there is a morality clause in their contracts, they can fire him for cause and not pay him off.   Now I think that's the real story, more here, Zucker and Schadenfreude, By Rich Kozlovich
