CNN for Sale? Speculation That Ousted Former CEO Jeff Zucker Mulling Purchase as “Ultimate Revenge”
Sources are floating the idea that Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company, may want to unload the struggling cable network and, according to The New York Post, former CNN CEO Jeff Zucker is mulling the opportunity to purchase the network.
Zucker resigned from CNN in February of 2022 after his relationship with Allison Gollust, the chief marketing officer for the network, was revealed during an investigation into Chris Cuomo’s sexual misconduct.
CNN has been forced to address multiple scandals in recent years including revelations that WarnerMedia used disgraced anchor Chris Cuomo’s connection to his equally disgraced brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, to lobby for policy measures during COVID lockdowns that would directly benefit their company.
