Top-rated cable news host Tucker Carlson lambasted CNN tonight in the wake of the Jeff Zucker resignation debacle. This “debacle” is part of a much bigger web weaved by CNN that has created a PR disaster.
These embarrassing events only serve to kick the network while it’s down, with ratings dropping like a rock over what they were a year ago, with some outlets reporting by almost 90%. Recently, Jeff Zucker had to resign as CNN President over an inappropriate relationship:
Previously, but not that long ago, CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin took a leave of absence after exposing himself on a Zoom call:
Chris Cuomo was also recently let go:
Since CNN constantly lambasts Republicans, Fox News, and former President Trump along with his 74 million + supporters, Carlson appears to believe it to only be fair that he lambasts them back some apparently.
In a new clip posted to social media of Tucker Carlson on his show, he mockingly suggests Jeffrey Toobin replace Jeff Zucker at his post of CNN president.
“We told you last night, you saw it, Jeff Zucker got canned over at CNN, no longer the president. Tonight, who takes over as president at CNN? The short answer is we don’t know. It seems pretty obvious the leading candidates will be chosen for their physical appearance rather than their competence, and at CNN as their competitor, of course, we strongly support that. But we’re also human, and we want to help a fellow news channel in distress. So in the spirit of cross-network cooperation, here’s a suggestion. Why not replace Jeff Zucker with Jeff Toobin? They’re both called Jeff, it’s not a small thing, sure Jeff got it, Jeff, “gesundheit” Jeff, here’s your large pizza Jeff, (deep dish). Everyone at CNN is used to saying those words every day. So trading one Jeff for another would ease the transition. We wouldn’t want a Penelope in this job, too many syllables. Jeff Toobin by the way knows the landscape at CNN. He’s been there for decades, he knows how CNN works. In fact, he tried to illustrate that on his now-famous Zoom call. From the first day, Jeff Toobin would have the network in the palm of his hand, a lot of Jeff Zucker rubbed off on him over the years. The job won’t be easy obviously, running a left-wing TV network isn’t like exposing yourself online. It’s a lot more embarrassing than that. It’s also a ton of work. You gotta get up early every morning. You can’t just lie in bed whacking the snooze bar. You’ve gotta make it to the office and crank it out. But Jeff Toobin’s up to it. Toobin reportedly has a keen business mind so the sales team at CNN would welcome him there. You can imagine the innovative new sponsorships, the Lubriderm news hour, weather updates brought to you by Kleenex, a content-sharing deal between Headline News and Only Fans. The possibilities are endless. So don’t dismiss Jeff Toobin ladies and gentlemen as the new president of CNN. The HR department has already endorsed him, fewer lawsuits, Jeff Toobin is not going to harass anyone, only himself.”
