In an email to staffers sent shortly after Zucker's [announcement], Jason Kilar, the CEO of CNN parent WarnerMedia, said, "I have accepted Jeff Zucker's resignation as Chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, and President of CNN Worldwide. We thank Jeff for his contributions over the past 9 years."

Kilar added, "We will be announcing an interim leadership plan shortly. Both of these organizations are at the top of their respective games and are well prepared for their next chapters."
Emphasis mine, but where's the Beavis snarky chuckle emoji?

From January 12 and the New York Post (well before Zucker's resignation):

Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage
https://nypost.com/2022/01/12/cnn-sees- ... -coverage/
CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year....

CNN’s longtime boss Zucker was slammed last month over the network’s low ratings and dealings over scandals concerning network stars Cuomo and Don Lemon.
The irony about evil men like Zucker, Cuomo, etc is that for a brief moment they believe their Reign of Terror won't come back and consume them too.

It’s been pointed out that Woopie was suspended for two weeks but Gina Carano of Mandalorian fame and Rosanne Barr were fired.

Yikes! She's 75 years old. Not that there's anything wrong with that, in general terms. I'm north of 70 myself. But still.... :shock:

600 geographic sites across the US will be renamed replacing a derogatory term - squaw.

Such as US Winter Olympic Site - Squaw Valley. So naming a picturesque beautiful site in America, Squaw, was being derogatory. Who knew.

https://repository.si.edu/bitstream/han ... sAllowed=y

Article discusses in great detail where the word squaw came from.

"In its historical origin, however, the word squaw is perfectly innocent, as current dictionaries
also correctly indicate: squaw comes from a language of the Algonquian family in which it
meant "woman.'' "

As I suspect in 100 years the average American will know nothing of the customs, and culture, of the humans who were here already when ole Chris sailed over. It will be as if they never existed.

I want name-changes performed on anything and anyone named "Soros," Bloomberg," "Brady," "Giffords," and the complete prohibition of use of the words "gun violence" in sequence or as part of a phrase. I mean, if we can change 600 existing placenames across America because they contain the Algonquin word for woman, surely I can get that simple request fulfilled...

Hahaha... trust me. You will know when they start to cancel you. Twitter killed my account two years ago and FB regularly suspends me for 30 days at a time. In every case it was after making a conservative point of view post. Since I am not famous, there isn't much else to be canceled from.

I don't use Twitter, but Facebook will get just one chance to cancel me. If they ever suspend my account for any reason, even for ten minutes, I will close it down. They need me much more than I need them and I will not put up with their cancellation.

I would do the same with FB but my whole darned family, Son, Daughter and extended family is on there and communicates family business to each other. I would love to cancel my account on FB but it would cut me out of the loop for my entire family. We need another option.

I did not care about Twitter much as it is just a bunch of people sitting in their parents basement in their underwear trying to be significant. They canceled me because I saw a video of a bunch of middle easterners storming the border of Greece. I said it looked like they were invading and Greece had the right to shoot them all. Twitter called it promoting violence. Idiots!
