As some Trump administration officials eye the exits after the midterms, CNN President Jeff Zucker doesn’t want to hire any Trump alums who helped the President spread false information, Politico reported.
According to people familiar with the conversations who spoke to Politico, Zucker has told people both inside and outside the network that he’d handle hiring on a case-by-case basis, but said he’s only interested in some departing officials who have “avoided damaging their credibility” — in Politico’s words — like Nikki Haley, who was floated as an example.
“If they do any hiring after the midterms, it’s more likely to be members of Congress, senators and governors who lost their races, plus outgoing GOP members,” a person familiar with the conversations told Politico.
The news comes as tensions remain high between CNN and the White House after the network was mailed a pipe bomb last week and its New York City office was forced to evacuate. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that the network blamed her and Trump for the attempted attack.
Sounds like a plan.
That should go without saying but he doesn’t seem to have any problem putting them on TV at the moment.
You mean Sarah won’t be a candidate for broadcasting job at CNN? Can you imagine how their viewership would plummet if she was?
Zucker will stick to this committment. Until about 9:15-AM on November 7th.
Several interesting similar articles on Raw Story that seem to point to his admin on the verge of collapsing. Which should be good in he long run, but I imagine will cause a lot of issue it self. Hope the US gets through it without too much damage.
Edit:This is interesting too. And not really surprising. I’ve always felt Donald only cared about himself and has no concern for others except maybe somewhat for his kids. And sad and pathetic he’s so driven buy peoples seeming admiration of him. Makes me feel like his relation to his dad, similar to his son’s, is all about getting praise they just don’t get enough of or that the dads refuse.
