From the New York Post:
Zucker, Gollust’s cozy ties with Andrew Cuomo included coaching him on COVID briefings
Ousted CNN honcho Jeff Zucker and his paramour Allison Gollust made personal calls to Andrew Cuomo in 2020 in a bid to lure the governor to make more flattering appearances on his brother Chris Cuomo’s show, The Post has learned.
Looking to keep Andrew Cuomo on his brother’s show and boost ratings even as controversy swirled around the puffy segments, Gollust personally called Cuomo and leaned on her “good relationship” with the governor, sources with direct knowledge told The Post.
Gollust also looked to capitalize on her ties with the governor’s top aide Melissa DeRosa, which she had cultivated years earlier when she briefly worked as Cuomo’s communications chief in 2012 and 2013, the source said.
Zucker — who sources say had an “open secret” affair with Gollust for more than a decade — also directly reached out to Cuomo at least once to urge him to keep coming on his brother’s show, according to the source.
“They wanted more appearances,” the source said.
Gollust’s maneuverings involved going over the heads of Cuomo’s communications staff, most of whom had joined the governor’s office after Gollust had already left, according to the source.
Another part of the New York Post story states:
Multiple insiders say the friendship between Andrew Cuomo and Zucker stretches back years — while Gollust was the disgraced governor’s head of communications before joining CNN.
And Gollust and Zucker — the latter of whom yesterday dramatically quit CNN after their affair was exposed — in return gave Andrew Cuomo endless positive coverage.
“While those 11:30 a.m. daily briefings by Andrew were across every network, they boosted ratings in a poorly performing slot for CNN,” one source said. According to a source to Cuomo, “Zucker and Gollust even advised Andrew what to say — how to respond and particularly how to hit back at [President Donald] Trump to make it more compelling TV.
“No network head should be coaching an elected official,” the source added. “It’s absolutely the antithesis of CNN’s standards of business.”
Since-fired anchor Chris Cuomo hosted his brother more than a dozen times on his primetime show, with some brotherly banter infused with simmering sibling rivalry.
Also in the story...
Zucker has carefully crafted CNN as the “anti-Trump network” in a bid to improve its flagging ratings. The former president yesterday celebrated the news that Zucker was stepping down, calling him “a world-class sleazebag.”
But the sources say Zucker and Gollust have enjoyed their own cozy relationship with Andrew Cuomo.
Gollust joined Zucker on a trip to Israel on March 5, 2017, where they had dinner with Andrew Cuomo and his top aide DeRosa at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
Gollust even told The Post in 2018 of the former governor’s ex-girlfriend Sandra Lee, “Sandy is a dear friend.”
A second source said Zucker was interviewed by CNN’s outside law firm Cravath — which is still conducting an independent investigation into Chris Cuomo — last week, when he was asked both about his relationship with Gollust and his cozy friendship with Andrew Cuomo.
This meeting directly led to Zucker announcing he was stepping down as worldwide president of CNN.
"An American journalist, Joe Concha, is known as a media reporter in ‘The Hill."
I wonder if Joe is referring to the CNN people who were among the many who flew to Epstein Island on the Lolita Express...
- Brian Stelter
- Jake Tapper
- Chris Cuomo
- Anderson Cooper
- and of course, Andrew Cuomo (to name a few of the passengers)!
They thought they would never get caught trafficking children to torture; rape; and kill for adrenochrome and let's not forget the "diamonds" and red shoes.
Or, is Joe speaking of some these CNN people who reportedly colluded with the DNC or Hillary campaign during the 2016 election cycle?
