“New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Thursday that she is suspending her campaign for governor and will run for reelection as attorney general. James led the investigation into former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and has been investigating the Trump Organization.”

The gist of the article is that Dershowitz claims that Cuomo didn’t MISLEAD anyone, this because EVERYONE knew he was biased in favor of his brother. Moreover, Zucker approved of the “brotherly love” tag-team programming—because he believed it was terrific for CNN’s ratings.
Zucker, on the other hand, according to Dershowitz, CONSTANTLY MISLEADS on practically everything he touches.
And so, Dershowitz concludes that Zucker should be fired. (Thought he doesn’t get into the mechanics of how Zucker might actually go about firing himself…)
NB: It’s personal, since Dershowitz has been involved in a long-standing lawsuit against CNN for—I believe—defamation.

There are enough ratings to keep them broadcasting their leftist propaganda and you are underestimating the affect / influence their propaganda has on many voters ( I know a bunch of these voters and I am sure you do too; they are totally brainwashed).
Their ratings did well when Trump was president?
Why?
Because there are enough folks willing to listen what CNN has to say; enough folks that about 1/2 of all voters voted for Joke Bidet because they believed the BS about Russia / Trump.
Don’t know about you, but I never watched CNN before, during or post Trump.
But a lot of folks do, and CNN knows this.
That is why they never change their strategy (i.e., lies, lies, lies, leftist propaganda, more lies, etc) irrespective of their ratings.. Their ratings are still not low enough for them to change how they present “the news;” (or more precisely, their version of the news).

Their ratings may today be in the toilet, but so what; they have enough voters watching their propaganda to perhaps help sway an election, which, of course, is one of their goals.
And bringing back controversial propagandist mouthpieces back from the sewers caters to their audience.

By the way, their on-camera folks are following the directions of the higher -ups at CNN.
Jeff Zucker and all the “news” producers reporting to him are the ones that are directing and promoting CNN’s leftist propaganda efforts. Nothing at CNN is done without their approval.
Nothing.

There wouldn’t have been one. (That is, there IS one huge and very glaring lever but the Democrats can’t use it because of what is reveals about the party itself…. So we’ll get those embarrassments on sexual harassment charges, and/or immoral behavior, yeah that’ll work!!)

Which, given the criminal behavior of the Democratic Party for quite a while is a pretty sick joke. But there you go. They’ll do anything and everything to cover up who they are; and then anything and everything to cover up the coverup, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Latest example:
All they have left to try to cement their power and pull the wool over the eyes of the electorate is to promote insane hysteria and incendiary prevarications: IOW the sordid, fetid, rancid and deranged “art” of projection—
“Joe, Mika push Jan. 6 ‘decomposition’ of GOP”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/washington-secrets/liberal-media-scream-joe-mika-push-jan-6-decomposition-of-gop
The mask has slipped and they have decided—as a matter of policy—to go full insane, where everything is backwards, upside down and inside out in their “Looking glass war” against the antagonist WHO MUST BE DESTROYED.
Key grafs:
“This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the cast on MSNBC’s Morning Joe embracing the liberal ‘Atlantic’ magazine’s special edition on the Jan. 6 riots that suggests the events on that day were a dry run for more GOP antics.
“Hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski featured Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, who said it would take more than one issue of his magazine to ‘trace the Republican Party’s decomposition from Lincoln’s day to ours. It is enough to say that its most recent, and most catastrophic, turn — toward authoritarianism, nativism, and conspiracism — threatens the republic that it was founded to save.’…”

Absolutely nuts. Absolutely deranged.

And yet, this is the official Democratic line—the narrative they’re going to flog non-stop as the country gets further enmired in the deep, repulsive cesspit that the Democratic Party has—INTENTIONALLY—dug and which it plans to further enlarge and expand.

That said, had it not ben a matter of handsy, what would have been the lever?

Such is the fate of the apparatchiks who are not the actual Powers.
They are expendable.

Cue the Stalin air-brushing photo.

I know some people with annoying interpersonal habits or behaviors. They’ve never been socialized out of them. The mechanics of resisting what one would expect to be some kind of corrective pressure would be interesting.

And harassing women is one of them. You shouldn’t. The women don’t like it. Better men don’t like it. Society tells you not to do it. The news regularly runs stories of guys getting into one or another kind of trouble. But keeping your hands to yourself just doesn’t occur to them.
