CNN announced late Saturday afternoon the cable network has fired host Chris Cuomo, “effective immediately” following an investigation into Cuomo using his journalism contacts to help defend his brother former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) when he was facing numerous allegations of sexual assault by female staffers. Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace last August. CNN had previously suspended Cuomo last Tuesday but said Saturday that “additional information has come to light” in their investigation of Cuomo that apparently prompted his immediate termination.

“Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense. We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”

So new information resulted in him being fired, and not just based on the previous info.

When asked by Deadline what he thinks will happen with honcho Jeff Zucker, Zaslav said “Jeff’s a good friend and I like him a lot.” But according to Jon Nicosia – former Mediaite and IJR managing editor (and former breaking news editor at the DC Examiner) – CNN is going to revert to a 100% news channel, and a “good number” of CNN ‘s “talent/staff” will be fired as part of a major shakeup .

According to Deadline , Zaslav has vowed to be “very hands on.” He has to do something dramatic. If merged today ‘Shark Week’ would eclipse every show on @cnn by a mile. — Jon Nicosia (@NewsPolitics) November 11, 2021 Nicosia also says that another option being floated is replacing poorly performing […]
