Scandal at CNN, whose president has resigned for hiding from the company the relationship with his closest collaborators. Jeff Zucker, until yesterday one of the most powerful men on American TV, 56 years old, for a long time had an affair with Allison Gollust and the "tip" would come from Chris Cuomo, who is negotiating the terms of the dismissal from the network. In fact, many argue that it was the "secret of Pulcinella": "It has been nine great years and I would not have wanted it to end like this," commented Zucker.
Allison Gollust also had been a spokesman for Andrew Cuomo for four months in 2012, but had left the governor when Jeff was called to the top of CNN. She and her husband lived in nearby apartments with their respective spouses and, within months of each other, they both divorced.
An "earthquake" that the CNN is costing a great advance for the rival Fox. The first, moreover, is about to launch the most ambitious project in its long history: the launch of the Cnn + streaming service for which the network stole one of its flagship anchors, Chris Wallace, from Fox.
