Zucker's CNN was a tangle of ethics violations and blackmail

While the rest of CNN pretended to be shocked that Jeff Zucker carried on an affair with the network’s EVP and CMO Allison Gollust, a plucky handful openly lamented the news of their (now former) boss’s rushed resignation.

“This was an incredible loss,” anchor Alisyn Camerota said on air. “Jeff is a remarkable person and an incredible leader. He has this uncanny ability to make every one of us feel special and valuable. It is so regrettable how it happened. These are two consenting adults who are both executives, that they can’t have a private relationship? It feels wrong.”
