Zucker immediately hires his sidepiece Gollust, who\u2019d been working for Andrew Cuomo. Zucker then hires Andrew Cuomo\u2019s little brother, Chris, and hands him the anchor chair of the morning show <em>New Day<\/em>, which was Zucker\u2019s most high-profile launch at the time. After Chris proves to be a ratings disaster on <em>New Day<\/em>, he is still promoted to primetime. Then, in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, CNN pulls out the stops to make Andrew President of the United States: CNN ignores and dismisses Andrew\u2019s scandals. CNN attacks Andrew\u2019s critics. CNN hands Andrew hours of unfiltered airtime to burnish his image as a national leader.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chris Cuomo\u2019s gobsmacking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2021\/11\/12\/nolte-scandal-plagued-chris-cuomo-hits-record-low-ratings\/\">pile<\/a> of ethical scandals is also ignored.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>And then, because God is real and loves us, it all came crashing down\u2026<\/p>\n<p>After CNN was forced to fire Chris in August, Fredo threatened to file a lawsuit if he was not paid his contract\u2019s remaining $18 million. And now, per the <em>Post<\/em>, Chris has <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/03\/what-jeff-zuckers-resignation-could-mean-for-chris-cuomos-potential-cnn-payout\/\">so much dirt<\/a>, he\u2019s ready to let fly. CNN is ready to pay him half of that $18 million to keep his mouth shut about Zucker\u2019s unethical relationship with Andrew Cuomo:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Chris Cuomo isn\u2019t likely to get much more than half of the $18 million he\u2019s seeking as a settlement in his feud with CNN&nbsp;now that Jeff Zucker has resigned, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n<p>Zucker fell on his sword in an effort to keep a possible Cuomo lawsuit against CNN from seeing the light of day, sources told The Post. The ex-CNN chief was named multiple times in a draft of a suit, which hasn\u2019t been filed, sources said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>According to&nbsp;an earlier report&nbsp;from The Post, Zucker and Allison Gollust \u2014 the colleague with whom he is romantically involved \u2014 had an ethically dubious relationship with former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The pair would coach the governor on his now-infamous Covid briefings \u2014 telling him what to say and how to respond to criticisms from President Donald Trump to make more compelling television.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If this is all true, here\u2019s what I find most telling\u2026<\/p>\n<p>According to the <em>Post<\/em>\u2018s source, Zucker agreed to resign without a fight if CNN\u2019s parent company, AT&amp;T, would agree to settle the Cuomo issue before the details of his lawsuit became public.<\/p>\n<p>If that is indeed the case, can you imagine how damaging the truth is to Jeff Zucker that he was willing to resign in disgrace to stop the truth from being revealed?<\/p>\n<p>Remember, Chris was fired for his own unethical dealings with his brother, Andrew, so it makes perfect sense for Fredo to file a lawsuit alleging unfair termination when the top guy at CNN was guilty of the same.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13072527\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cuomo-vs-cuomo-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13072527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cuomo-vs-cuomo-.png\" alt=\"Andrew Cuomo\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Governor Andrew Cuomo hosts his brother, Chris Cuomo, to talk about having the coronavirus (Gov.
