Now that I got that out of the way, my theory: Yes I know Zucker has to pursue "maximum profits" for the shareholders. Got it. That's his top priority per capitalist principles and (I'm assuming, not a lawyer) the law. However, I've gotten the impression that Zucker regrets the 24/7/365 coverage of Trump that contributed to his election.
CNN, although making some attempts to be objective (with idiots like Lord and that GA congressman on), really seems to be doggedly pursuing all leads into the Trump swamps. Good business, sure. Maybe Zucker personally wants to rectify his horrible mistake ? Yes there is the argument it was good business, but good for the nation ? Nope, hell no.
Could Zucker actually think this way ? Or am I giving him way too much credit ?
