and now i guess we see that jeff zocker, after 9 years the head of cnn is stepping down not good times for cnn, and for american mainstream media. we spoke to legal media analyst lornel, who says that cnn like other american mainstream media is on his last legs. if cnn was a patient and a hospital, the doctor would call a co, the doctor would look at his watch as a call at that's it. they put the sheet over the patient. cnn is gone. if i didn't know better, i think cnn, before every broadcast says, what can we say? that is so fundamentally stupid. so, and so unbelievable that people will talk about it. because we're not getting audience audiences from doing what we're doing. we have to get audiences by having people comment, how stupid we are. many people expect expect there to be fairness. many people believe that c, n n always them a duty of fairness. people will say, this isn't fair. cnn. there, journalist, they're supposed to be journalist. this isn't fair. how can you say this? how can you get away with this? how can they do this if you can't do well on your show, say something st

having in the fur well, it appears that in this surprise, email that went out to the staff of cnn, jeff zocker is resigning. he is stepping down and the reason listed is that he failed to disclose a relationship that he had with a colleague that has gone on for the past several years. the idea was that understand and policy. if he was having a romantic relationship with a co work here, he would have to make it public or make it known to the company. he did not do so, and so he is stepping down. however, many people are looking into this and wondering if this might have something to do with cna ends dropping ratings. the viewership of cnn is in significant decline. but regardless, the official stated reason is this relationship. cnn's been under fire recently, caleb over several other scandals. can you just remind us about some of those oh, sure, i mean in december the f b, i arrested a cnn producer by the name of john griffin. john griffin was arrested and the charges are pretty serious. apparently, john griffin is charged for setting up a facility for interstate commerce, in which he would lo

only recently disclosed and more than friendly relationship with the channels. former president, jeff zocker. on top of that, it seems she was behaving in a less than ethical manner at work. on interviews of more than 40 individuals and a review of over 100000 texts and e mails. the investigation found violations of company policies, including cnn, new standards and practices. zocker himself resigned just 2 weeks ago for not spilling the beans on his conflict of love interest. i was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest collie. someone i have worked with for more than 20 years. i acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. a bit hypocritical, maybe to be fair, the relationship between sucker and gall loose was consensual. but cnn does recently seem to have a problem with varying degrees of sexual misconduct. the only reason the last who were outed was because the company found out about them while investigating its former anchor chris cuomo. he was fired back in december for trying to cover up sexual misconduct of his brother, former new york governor andrew cuomo.

well, there was a surprise email to sienna, an employee today informing them that jeff zocker, who is the head of cnn, is stepping down. and the reason given for his stepping down is that he had a relationship with a colleague that he did not disclose. apparently cnn requires that, that relationships between colleagues be disclosed in order to protect the company from liability lawsuits, etc. he's saying that this relationship he's had for the past several years with a colleague started out as a friend relationship. and in the last couple years became a romantic one, because he did not disclose that he is stepping down as the head of cnn. now many are looking on and finding it peculiar and wondering if this is not really more about cnn's falling ratings. not so much this romantic scandal. ok, this isn't the stand alone events. we know. i there, cnn stuff. i've been caught up several times in scandals recently. haven't they? ball sure. i mean, the most blatant example is john griffin, a cnn producer who was arrested by the f b i in december. and he was charged with a pretty serious cri
