Zucker Signed an NDA Before Being Pushed Out at CNN

It appears that Jeff Zucker signed an NDA before he was pushed out at CNN for a number of reasons.

Reports yesterday surfaced that Zucker had reached a deal with CNN which would pay him $5 million dollars to quietly go away.

But, word is that the $5 million was part of his bonus that CNN owned him from 2021 and it was not a payoff.

In what other job can you lead a cable station to the bottom of the ratings and see viewership drop nearly 90% and get a $5 million dollar bonus for doing so?

I’m telling you folks, we all need to get into cable news management.
