Uh-oh … CNN media firefighters are celebrating their chief! Hope you’ve got plenty of lotion:
Chris Cuomo in Jeff Zucker tribute video at Mirror Awards: "One of his best skills is the ability to not seem as short as he actually is."

Marfmarfmarf. Oh, Chris Cuomo … you cut-up, you! More:
Jake Tapper on CNN president Jeff Zucker: "I said to him one time, 'You are the only boss I've had who is ballsier than I am,' and I really meant it."

Yeah, it takes a lot of balls to dedicate your network to promoting Donald Trump and then pretend you didn’t.

Embarrassing

You think that’s embarrassing? Wait’ll you see this totally embarrassing faux-pas from Jeff Zucker himself:
Jeff Zucker on CNN morning anchor Alisyn Camerota, who MC'd the awards show: "I was gonna say that I love waking up WITH YOU every morning, but I want to say that I love waking up TO YOU every morning." (there were some groans in the room)
— Jeremy Barr (@jeremymbarr) June 13, 2019
Some groans, eh?
Gross either way and extremely inappropriate. Not really surprising.

Where are the torches and pitchforks?
And she complained about the behavior of her boss at Fox but will say nothing about this

Jeff Zucker made this sexually suggestive remark about a colleague (who was sexually harassed at Fox News before joining CNN) — while he was getting a *leadership award*

No big deal, just Jeff Zucker sexually harassing Alisyn Camerota in front of all of her colleagues. If a CNN employee made this joke to Camerota in say a text message or email, what would've happened? https://t.co/66V0JfAIa4

Real News™ would’ve put the kibosh on it.
How big of a sleaze do you need to be to 1) toss off a casual workplace sexual harassment joke 2) about an employee who was sexually harassed in her previous workplace 3) to an audience of journalists 4) at an event where Ronan Farrow wins a journalism award? https://t.co/0hnMMIJAWZ

"Matt Lauer came out of seclusion to celebrate Jeff Zucker’s 54th birthday bash" earlier this year, per Page Six. Zucker used to be Lauer's executive producer at NBC's Today. https://t.co/wqm6YqcA6J

Welp.
If a Fox employee said it: Sirens, Red Alerts, and endless panels on CNN. Maybe even a special 2-hour Reliable Sources.

question for @brianstelter: If the head of Fox News said this about a female anchor, how would you cover it? https://t.co/66V0JfAIa4

Sorry, Brian’s too busy just drinking in Zucker’s awesomeness:
