Awhile back, FTVLive posted video from a CNN town hall with President Jeff Zucker answering employee-submitted questions as moderated by Anderson Cooper. The video revealed that many employees, including management, are fearful of Zucker and there is intimidation surrounding him. Zucker responded that he wants pushback with his ideas. Interestingly, Zucker seemed to criticize the wall-to-wall coverage that CNN often uses for stories, recently for Flight MH370 and Ukraine. Zucker said that CNN needs to work on not having several shows covering the same story. However, the video was later pulled, presumably at CNN’s request. However, the video has resurfaced and be sure to watch in the event that it gets pulled again.
