The Week In Pictures: Media Meltdown Edition

[Powerline] From afar it seems this was the week the mainstream media officially entered its death spiral. Whoopi got suspended from The View, while CNN discovered that not even sacking its president for a sex scandal can improve ratings. But CNN’s pain wasn’t even the worst involving someone with "Zucker" in his name: Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook took a Meta-dive when it turned the corner and is following CNN’s example in losing viewers, along with $200 billion in market value. Nice work media!

#3 Speaking of meltdowns, an analysis by Joe Concha of Zucker's defenestration at CNN -- looks like the big shareholders such as John Malone might have had a say. Hint: it had zip to do with his relationship with the woman and everything to do with his whoring relationship to Sonny:

CNN's Collapse is Now Complete
Instead [of covering the COVID story in a professional manner], Zucker apparently believed it was the perfect time to exploit the situation for political gain and to help the network's ratings.

Andrew Cuomo benefitted from briefings that made him appear to be the adult in the room regarding COVID and Trump appear to be the villain. Cuomo got a $5.1 million book deal as a result.

Chris Cuomo and Zucker/Gollust/CNN benefitted from marathon interviews with Cuomo's governor/brother, which didn't touch the governor's alleged nursing home scandal. Ratings soared.

So, was Zucker's departure simply about a consensual relationship with a co-worker? One might be forgiven for questioning that.
