"Inside the Power Struggle: CNN's David Zaslav's Plot to Oust Jeff Zucker"

David Zaslav, the head of Warner Bros. Discovery, reportedly criticized former CNN president Jeff Zucker, calling him a weakling who had tears in his eyes after his ouster from the network. Zaslav was unimpressed with Zucker's behavior and had been considering firing him due to CNN's controversial anti-Trump stance. The article also details Zaslav's interactions with CNN host Don Lemon, who was fired in April after making a sexist comment. Zaslav's relationships with key figures at CNN, including Zucker and Chris Licht, deteriorated as he focused on reshaping the network. Licht was eventually ousted from CNN after facing criticism from employees.
