CNN President Jeff Zucker announced his resignation Wednesday, citing his failure to disclose a relationship with a network colleague as the reason for his abrupt exit.

This almost certainly isn’t the full story. For starters, he was reportedly pressured to resign. So, the good money says the network’s decision to force Zucker’s resignation was based on something far worse and far more egregious than just a failure to comply with corporate policy. Consider: CNN currently employs a workplace masturbator. So why would it drop its top man for having a “consensual relationship” with a marketing executive?
