In an email to staffers sent shortly after Zucker's [announcement], Jason Kilar, the CEO of CNN parent WarnerMedia, said, "I have accepted Jeff Zucker's resignation as Chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, and President of CNN Worldwide. We thank Jeff for his contributions over the past 9 years."

Kilar added, "We will be announcing an interim leadership plan shortly. Both of these organizations are at the top of their respective games and are well prepared for their next chapters."

Emphasis mine, but where's the Beavis snarky chuckle emoji?

From January 12 and the New York Post (well before Zucker's resignation):

Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage
https://nypost.com/2022/01/12/cnn-sees- ... -coverage/

CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year....

CNN’s longtime boss Zucker was slammed last month over the network’s low ratings and dealings over scandals concerning network stars Cuomo and Don Lemon.

The Turn

For many years—most of my politically cognizant life, in fact—I felt secure in my politics. Truth and justice, I believed, leaned leftward. If you were some version of a decent human being, you cared about those less fortunate than you, which meant that you supported a whole host of measures designed to even the playing field a little. Sometimes, these measures had unintended consequences (see under: Stalin, Josef), but that wasn’t reason enough to despair of the long march to equality. Besides, there was hardly an alternative: On the other end of the political transom lurked despicable creeps, right-wing orcs who either cared for nothing but their own petty financial interests or, worse, pined for benighted isms that preached prejudice and hate. We were on the right side of history. We were the people. We were the ones giving peace a chance. And, no matter the present, we were always the future.

When “the left” becomes the party of wealthy elites and state security agencies who preach racial division, state censorship, contempt for ordinary citizens and for the U.S. Constitution, and telling people what to do and think at every turn, then that’s the side you are on, if you are “on the left”—those are the policies and beliefs you stand for and have to defend. It doesn’t matter what good people “on the left” believed and did 60 or 70 years ago.

A large Boulder was removed from the Campus where it has been for over 100 years. Placed there to honor the University President who was a geologist.

The Boulder was considered racist.

There may be geologists here who can correct me, but I believe they are called drop stones. Very large boulders are placed in odd spots by a melting glacier.

Teddy Roosevelt bites the dust. Not even one vote to keep his statue in New York City Museum of Natural History.

BTW Teddy started the National Park system for which we should be eternally grateful.
