Head of CNN Quits Over Relationship with Aide to Andrew Cuomo
This is getting messy.


The last several months have not been all that kind to both CNN and the Cuomo family, and this week saw a new twist to their tawdry, intertwined tales.
First and foremost, there are at least one dozen women out there who have made credible claims of sexual assault and harassment befalling them at the hands of the disgraced former Governor or New York Andrew Cuomo. Compounding that issue, (and dragging CNN into the fray), were reports that his younger brother, on-air personality Chris Cuomo, had lent his media resources to the embattled Empire State lawmaker in an effort to help squash the uproar surrounding his behavior.
Then Chris himself was hit with a number of similarly-scandalous claims and was forced out of his job at CNN.
Now, in what is yet another example of this strange intermingling, CNN boss Jeff Zucker has resigned from the company after failing to disclose his own relationship with a former aide to Andrew Cuomo.
CNN President Jeff Zucker resigned Wednesday for failing to disclose a romantic relationship with a high-ranking colleague who once served as communications director to ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Zucker, 56, in a memo sent to staff said that he should have admitted to that relationship with CNN executive Allison Gollust when he was asked about it during a recent probe by the network of Chris Cuomo, who at the time was a host of a prime-time show there.
Zucker acknowledged the issue outright in his resignation letter.
“As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,” Zucker said.
“I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong,” said Zucker, who like Gollust is divorced.
“As a result, I am resigning today.”
The revelation could open CNN up to further criticisms, particularly as it pertains to their handling of both the Andrew Cuomo news, and to their leniency in regard to Chris Cuomo’s involvement.

Musk Steps Back from Twitter Purchase After ‘Fake Users’ Concern
Or is Musk a better negotiator than we give him credit for?


Free speech advocates around the world have been rejoicing in recent days, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared to be on the verge of purchasing social media giant Twitter.
The site, which has grown restrictive for conservative viewpoints in recent years, was going to be “unlocked” by Musk, who firmly believed that a more open, inclusive Twitter would be a much more powerful tool than previously imagined.
But now, as his team uncovers concerns about the site’s real user number, Musk is taking a step back.
Tesla billionaire Elon Musk has put his plan to buy Twitter on what he called a temporary “hold,” raising fresh doubts about whether he’ll proceed with the $44 billion acquisition.
Musk tweeted early Friday that he wanted to pinpoint the number of spam and fake accounts on the social media platform. He has been vocal about his desire to clean up Twitter’s problem with “spam bots” that mimic real people, and he appeared to question whether Twitter was underreporting them.
But the company has disclosed in regulatory filings that its bot estimates might be low for at least two years, leading some analysts to believe that Musk could be raising the issue as a reason to back out of the purchase.
Musk wasn’t shy about his issue.
“Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users,” Musk tweeted Friday morning, indicating he’s skeptical that the number of inauthentic accounts is that low.
The eccentric billionaire would go on to insist that he still fully intends to purchase the site, leading some to speculate as to whether or not this might be a simple negotiating tactic.

Sony Bucks Beijing By Refusing to Censor Spiderman Movie
At least someone is refusing to capitulate to China.


China has long been exploiting their citizenry, thanks to their commitment to the cruel tenets of authoritarian communism and their unwavering disregard for even the most basic of human rights. This has allowed the CCP to treat Chinese citizens like cattle, working low-paying jobs to produce goods that can then flood the international market, essentially milking them for money.
In order to keep the people of China happy in this arrangement, the government has had to severely limit the sorts of ideas that can be viewed in art or books, lest their human livestock were to get some strange ideas about freedom.
In order to do this, China has leveraged their enormous consumer base against some of the west’s most powerful entertainment companies, demanding that they tamp down certain references in books, films, television, and music.
A recent attempt to manipulate one Marvel’s biggest blockbusters has not gone Beijing’s way, however.
Sony reportedly refused the Chinese government’s demand to scrub the Statue of Liberty from Spider-Man: No Way Home.
According to Puck on Sunday, citing “multiple sources,” the Chinese government requested the Statue of Liberty be digitally removed from the film, despite its inclusion in a pivotal scene. Sony rejected the request.
The Chinese government then asked if the Statue of Liberty could be, according to Puck, “minimized in the sequence: if Sony could cut a few of the more patriotic shots of [Tom] Holland standing atop the crown, or dull the lighting so that Lady Liberty’s visage wasn’t so front-and-center.” Sony considered the request, but declined.
China has demanded several changes to major movies throughout the years, including a massive adjustment to the end of Fight Club, in which the protagonists’ plot to destroy the credit banking system was removed and replaced with an epilogue stating that all of the characters involved were arrested by police…even the character that was a figment of someone’s imagination the whole time.
