The FNC host speculated it had more to do with other reasons, including bad ratings.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p>CARLSON: You probably heard CNN President, Jeff Zucker, got fired this morning. In a statement, Zucker said he has been dating a colleague, didn\u2019t disclose it, and when his bosses found out, they made him leave. That\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone in the TV business already knew about Zucker\u2019s relationship with the head of CNN\u2019s Marketing Department. Every executive in television has known about it for years, it was definitely not a secret. So Jeff Zucker did not get canned for his sex life. New management wanted him out of CNN for other reasons, including bad ratings, and maybe others that we\u2019ll find out later.<\/p>\n<p>So the relationship was just a pretext for what you saw. But as usual with CNN, you\u2019ve got to wade through a lot of lies to get to what actually happened. So what happens next at CNN?<\/p>\n<p>Well, for starters, let\u2019s hope to get rid of the eunuch and his weird pop-eyed accomplice. The two have made a career of trying to kill free speech in this country. No news organization should ever employ people like that. It\u2019s disgraceful.<\/p>\n<p>As for who replaces Jeff Zucker, we hope it\u2019s someone better. CNN is poison, we want that channel to improve. With Zucker gone, it\u2019s at least theoretically possible it could happen. We didn\u2019t like Jeff Zucker, we said that very clearly, for a long time. We attacked his programming decisions, we slammed his political agenda, we called him names, and we meant every word of it.<\/p>\n<p>Still, on this day, when we should be celebrating Jeff Zucker\u2019s departure, we\u2019re not celebrating. Why is that? Because we see a pattern here.<\/p>\n<p>There are an awful lot of contemptible leaders in Corporate America, maybe most of them, but only a certain kind of CEO ever gets fired. It\u2019s not the weak ones, the guys who do what they\u2019re told, issue the cringy statements and let the H.R. Department run everything, those people tend to keep their jobs until they retire. People like that just want to get it over with and cash out.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t take risks. They don\u2019t dare to build anything. They\u2019re just caretakers. If their dignity is the price of job security, they are happy to pay it.<\/p>\n<p>More than at any time in our history. America is run by people like that. It\u2019s only the strong who are punished. Strong leaders tend to be abrasive. They\u2019re arrogant. Sometimes they\u2019re what we now call abusive. They ignore convention, they say outrageous things in public and private.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t blend in with the group. Often, they alienate the more sensitive types around them. They don\u2019t have maternal instincts. A lot of modern people are put off by strong leaders, but you\u2019ve got to have them. Creative masculine energy is the essential quality in any civilization. It\u2019s how we got civilization in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>But increasingly, boisterous masculinity is systematically suppressed to make way for a timid caretaker class, for people who think the whole point of society is to get to zero COVID infections or eliminate all traffic deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Those may sound like virtuous goals. In fact, they\u2019re signifiers of decline. Not dying can never be the whole point. If it is, you\u2019re already dead.<\/p>\n<p>Our current leaders are fearful because they are old, but the opposite is also true. They kept power into their 80s because they put safety first. They put it over creativity, over courage, over leadership. Nancy Pelosi never built anything, neither has Joe Biden or Mitch McConnell. They\u2019re not capable of building anything.<\/p>\n<p>At the very best, they can preserve what others have built, not that they\u2019ve even tried to do that.<\/p>\n<p>So Jeff Zucker, whatever else we have said about him and meant, Jeff Zucker tried to do something new. We hated what he did. We did not share his vision. We found it repugnant and destructive, but at least Jeff Zucker had a vision. Too few still do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, FNC\u2019s \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight\u201d host Tucker Carlson dismissed the claim CNN head Jeff Zucker lost his position at the long-time cable news network for an improper romantic relationship he &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1267626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1267626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1267626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1267626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1267626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1267626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1267626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
